Joey Essex left stunned as ‘starstruck’ Samantha tells him she’ll move to Essex – a week after meeting on Love Island
JOEY Essex appears stunned tonight as Samantha makes a big decision on Love Island.
The pair coupled up in the ITV2 villa last week after he joined the Majorca villa as a celebrity bombshell.
In tonight's episode they're whisked off to a romantic location where they discuss the future.
Cupid shines on the pair when she receives a text that says: “Samantha and Joey, please get ready to head out on your first date. #RooftopReady #FirstDateVibes”
The stunner from Liverpool then tells him she wants to move to Essex.
Sipping drinks on a rooftop overlooking the picturesque Mallorcan landscape, Joey asks: "Would you like to come back to Essex?"

Samantha responds: "Yeah, I’d live there."
Joey says: "You what? You’d live there? You’d live there haha?!"
Fans have grown suspicous of Samantha's intentions towards Joey.
After a chat last night about their future, one said: "I'm not sure she realises but everytime she speaks she sounds like she's in this relationship for the 'celebrity' status rather than because she really likes him."
Another said: "The way Sam laughs whenever Joey makes a little joke it’s like he’s the best comedian on planet earth. She’s such a fan lol."
Prior to Love Island, Joey had featured on multiple reality shows including Towie, Strictly Come Dancing and I'm A Celeb.
And 27-year-old Samantha has frequently pointed out Joey's pre-show fame, leading viewers to think she's "too starstruck" by him.
Samantha's instant infatuation with Joey was viewed as almost as obsessive as Martha's fixation to Richard Gadd in Netflix drama Baby Reindeer.
A savage meme has now circulating of Samantha on social media.
It shows her face on a poster of Baby Reindeer - with her face replacing stalker Martha.
Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
