Love Island's Joey Essex and Jessy Potts are dumped a day before the final as former co-stars return to settle scores in savage twist.
But despite Joey Essex insisting he wasn't given any special treatment during his time on Love Island because he was already a celebrity, it can now be revealed that he did.
Insiders also say Joey was given flowers by the production team to hand to the eventual winner Mimii Ngulube after he was branded 'racist' for his behaviour towards her and her partner Josh Oyinsan. In an episode last week, Joey was seen giving Mimii a bunch of flowers to apologise to her after previously arguing with her during a challenge.

Mimii, 24, and Josh, 29, have made Love Island history as the first black couple to win the show since the rebooted version of the series began in 2015.
