LOVE Island fans think they’ve figured out which girl will make a move on Joey Essex.
The TOWIE legend sent shockwaves through the villa after entering as the show’s first celebrity bombshell.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun before landing in Majorca, Joey, 33, said: “I feel like Joey Bond, the name’s Essex, Joey Essex.
“It felt like a military operation, not even the journey itself but the process of even getting through the application and to this point.”
But fans think that it will be Harriett Blackmore that will pursue the TV star – which wouldn’t be ideal for Ciaran.
Sharing the famous photo of a stressed-out Ben Affleck smoking a cigarette, one viewer predicted what will happen in tonight’s show: “Ciaran tomorrow night when Harriet runs straight for Joey”.
Harriet was last night branded least “girlfriend material” by the boys in the house.
She has also been accused of having a secret relationship when she applied for the show.
Viewers were shocked after Joey entered the villa, with many saying it will be the show’s most “chaotic” series.
One wrote on X: “joey essex coming in as a bombshell in love island was not on my 2024 bingo card
Another said: “SCREAMING JOEY ESSEX WTF?!!”
“lol this is Joey’s island now,” a third chimed in.
A fourth questioned: “WAIT THAT JOEY !!!!! JOEY ESSEX ????.”
A fifth tweeted: “Joey Essex? This season is gonna be chaotic #loveIsland.”
Since finding fame at 21 on Towie, Joey has appeared on everything from I’m A Celebrity… to Dancing On Ice and is now worth £8million through savvy property investments.
He has dated Rita Ora, Maura Higgins and, most recently, his skate partner Vanessa Bauer.
Now, he is hoping for better luck with this year’s contestants such as Samantha Kenny, 26, and Mimii Ngulube, 24.
Joey said: “I just want someone to like me for me and not from what they see on TV.”
