Towie reunion as former show stars hang out in Dubai after quitting UK
TOWIE fans will be thrilled to see a reunion of ex-stars hanging out together in Dubai after quitting UK.
Joey Essex and Tom Pearce, both 32, shared a snap of themselves, as they enjoy their new life in the UAE
Joe shared a snap on Instagram of the pair of them hanging out at the posh Nobu By The Beach.
Pulling serious faces, as they soaked up the sun, he captioned the photo with: “Yung forever.”
Joey found fame on The Only Way Is Essex back in 2011, before leaving in 2013.
He has since become an in demand TV star, and has appeared on shows like I’m A Celebrity.
While, Tom quit the ITVBe show in 2014 after two years to focus on his career as an equity broker.
After working in London he relocated to Dubai and, in 2019, he met Manchester beautician Rebecca Walker, who owns a facial and eyelash extension business in the city.
In 2022, he popped the question to Rebecca, 32, on a romantic break in Bali and posted a picture of the moment with the caption: “The girl said yes!”
Joey was recently officially welcomed into his “new home” in Dubai after quitting Essex following a horrifying home break-in.
The TV star was all smiles as he met with officials in the UAE last week, dressed in a white shirt and matching trousers.
Joey was seen heading to the Burj Al Arab to meet with officials, who gifted him an Esaad card to mark his “new home”.
The card provides holders with deals to save money across education, health, restaurants and entertainment, and is issued by the police.
Joey was gifted the card after moving to Dubai after a terrifying break-in at his Essex home earlier this year.
“At the world’s most luxurious hotel Burj Al Arab I met up with the Dubai Government,” Joey penned under the snaps. “They told me Dubai is now my home.
“Thank you to Mahmoud Al Burai & Shahab Ahmed Alsaadi for everything you have put in place for me and Dubai police, Dubai tourism board, Dubai media for getting in touch and taking time to meet me and giving me the warmest welcome to their country.
“Happiness is the way forward. Inshallah.”
Meanwhile, Joey was left an emotional wreck following the raid on his Essex mansion.
The Dancing on Ice star was left terrified after burglars struck, with the incident believed to have triggered a search for a move abroad.
We revealed in January last year how Joey was left “horrified and shaken” when raiders ransacked his £3million pad while he was out with friends.
He called police after returning in the early hours to find an upstairs window open.
Police confirmed they were investigating a break-in at the four-bed property in Essex.
The source went on: “The incident at his house made him think about his life and what he wants from it.”
Joey paid £1.6million for the pad in 2014 and he has repeatedly shown it off on social media.
