Watch moment Joey Essex flirts with TV host in toe-curling chat as he says he’s ‘husband material’ – after Jessy split
JOEY Essex flirted with a stunning US TV host in a toe-curling interview shared to his social media, as he claimed he was “perfect husband material.”
Towie legend Joey announced his split from Love Island co-star Jessy Potts in September, and he now appears to living a new life in Los Angeles, while also signing up to celeb dating app Raya.
And in his latest TV appearance, Joey, 34, popped up on LA TV station KTLA to chat about his future plans as well as his time on Love Island.
The host of the show, Jasmine Simpkins, introduced Joey and said he’s “known for his charm.”
The four female hosts raved about Joey’s accent and asked him to keep talking.
Joey replied: “My name is Joey Essex, what are you saying?” he then complimented them all, telling them how beautiful they looked.
He could be seen wearing a black cardigan and white t-shirt but the panellists said he should probably just take off his cardigan, which led to Joey sitting with it half on, half off for the remainder of the interview.
Jasmine stroked Joey’s cardigan as he cheekily responded: “You like that one, yeah?”
Joey discussed how UK life is “hectic” due to the amount of people wanting to stop and take selfies with him.
He went on to say that he’s looking for a home in LA, but added that looking after in the UK is a lot to manage.
Adding that he was “perfect husband material,” Joey went on: “I clean my own house, my own clothes, my own dishes.”
The hosts joked: “Oh we’re so sorry.”
Joey also said that he’s still on the lookout for love, despite his recent split from blonde beauty Jessy.
He said going onto Love Island in the summer and shocking the nation was “quite exciting.”
Joey’s TV appearance over in the US comes after it was confirmed that the star, who previously signed up to dating service Huggle in 2022, can now be found on Raya, where his profile lists him as living in Dubai.
Jessy and Joey released a heartbreaking statement in September after things came to an end.
And just a few days ago Jessy, 25, was quizzed on potential regrets after meeting her ex on Love Island – in awkward scenes which saw her “steal” him away from his ex Grace Jackson.
The model launched a question and answer box on her Instagram page as she told fans she had time to answer questions during her trip to see her family.
One promptly asked: “Was going on Love Island worth it in your opinion?”
She was quick to respond: “Absolutely!
“It was the best thing I’ve ever done, without a doubt.
I had so much fun doing it, have been given incredible opportunities since leaving the villa and despite it not working on the outside, I did meet someone I liked and had the best summer ever with an amazing group of people.”
Joey and Jessy battled split rumours since leaving the villa, with their busy schedules meaning they were unable to spend time together.
Joey released a statement on their split and was first to tell us: “Unfortunately, we have decided to call an end to the relationship but I hope we can continue to be friends.
“I truly wish Jessy the very best with whatever she does in the future.”
Jessy then added: “I appreciate the Love Island experience I had with Joey, we tried to make it work but it wasn’t to be.
“I’m so grateful to everyone who supported us and look forward to all of the exciting opportunities ahead.”
