The candidate for this season of “Love Island” is a reality TV series star

When it comes to being part of a show like Love Island UKpeople are excited to see who is lucky enough to be a part of a dating show that has gained such massive traction around the world. Usually, the people who are on this show are regular people who have never been in the spotlight or know what it’s like to be famous. This still makes the show more interesting because these are real people who are genuinely looking for a strong romantic connection. But since they are on TV, they know they have to act a little silly to get more viewers and make the season interesting. This season, it seemed to be the same story, with new people stepping into the spotlight and having their careers changed forever depending on how they do on the show. Nobody expected the first bombshell in season 11 to be a celebrity and someone who has been in reality TV for many years, so they know what viewers like and what they don’t. The celebrity in question was Joey Essex, which came in as one of the first bombshells of the season. He caused enough disruption to know what good television is.

Joey is no stranger to the reality TV world, having made his debut on The only way is via Essex or TOWIE in 2011 and he stayed on the show until 2013 so he could step away from the show. This was a big step for a reality TV star as they are always seen as people you don’t take too seriously but luckily Joey was charming and became a fan favorite which allowed him to try his hand at other shows. Not only has he been on the scene for a while but with the spotlight comes romance and he is no stranger to Love Island Alumni, as he has dated someone from the show in the past.
