Reality TV star Joey Essex has entered the Love Island villa in a surprise twist.

She told contestants: “Well it’s good to see you’re all settled in, as you know you are in Love Island, you must always expect the unexpected.

“So please welcome Joey.”

The TV star said he was “the king of Essex” who wanted to find his “queen”.
