The former TOWIE star, 38, endured a brief romance with the TV star on the ITV reality show in 2012.
Jess Wright has claimed her ex Joey Essex is 'only on Love Island to have a laugh and meet lots of girls' despite his pals claiming he is ready to settle down.
'I didn't actually know that he wasn't getting paid, and that's mad. But yeah, to be honest, that didn't even cross my mind. I think he's probably just interested in going in there having a laugh and meeting loads of girls.' 'I haven't seen Joey. Actually, I think I've seen him out and about. It was obviously years and years and years ago.
