Ex TOWIE cast member and current Love Island star Joey Essex is reportedly heading to the states for another television opportunity.

According to The Sun, Joey will appear on the next series of Selling Sunset - the hit Netflix series focussing on luxury real estate in Los Angeles.

Joey, who has made his millions through property investment and now his cousin, Chloe Sims, is based in LA, it makes sense for him to look at having a place in the States.

A source told The Sun: “On the next series viewers will see Joey tour a megabucks property as part of his hunt for a base across the pond.

“It also means he’s added another huge reality show to his list — his first for Netflix — which opens up a whole new world of opportunity.”

However, after going on a date with Jessy Potts, Joey has now put his relationship with Grace on the back burner.

The pair were in trouble when they were caught out kissing on the terrace. Afterwards, Joey hoped to keep it from Grace and he told Jessy: “That’s between you and me though. We don’t have to say anything. I don’t think we should tell them that.”

Jessy replied: “I didn’t expect that to happen.” Joey said: “I just took you up the terrace for a little talk" which he jokingly said: "The terrace is really innocent, right..?”
