However, she's not 100 per cent sure he's met the right person yet.

Chloe appeared on Love Island's AfterSun last night with host Maya Jama.

She reacted to Joey snogging his ex Grace after leaving the villa for a sleepover.

He had previously been coupled up with Sam for two weeks.

Asked if Sam is Joey's type, Chloe replied: "I would say probably not but when I started watching it I would have picked her.

"I see why he did but I don't see she's his actual type."

She added: "We haven't got to see her personality but his smile lit up the whole place.

"He looks like he's in love already and she looks like she's really put together with her career.

"I don't think he's met the right person yet but maybe Grace."

Joey and model Grace dated for six weeks at the start of 2024 before he abruptly called time on the romance.

'Petty and irrational' rant Love Island viewers as Sam and Joey clash over bombshell Grace

They shared a kiss during an awkward game of beer pong with the villa - leaving Sam feeling insecure about their relationship.

She was branded "petty and irrational" by viewers after she chose to sleep on the day bed that evening.

Joey then confessed to Grace he had seen behaviours that were a warning sign.

When the three new bombshells were asked to pick a date to take on an overnight trip, Joey didn't even hug Samantha goodbye.

It led to her seething as she told the girls: "I'm done."

Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2.
