The Love Island producers had our jaws on the floor when Joey Essex strolled into the villa as the first bombshell of series 11.
They then chucked in Grace Jackson (his ex) and he immediately dumped Samantha Kenny. Just when we thought we had Joey all sussed out, he recoupled with Jessy Potts. Savage.
We've recently seen Joey and Grace going back and forth over and although she literally slammed a pie in his face, we couldn't help but ask Uma Jammeh and Wil Anderson if there's anything still between the former TOWIE star and his ex.

"I think there's definitely something there but I feel like it's getting to a point now where they're probably not going to go back to it because of the sort of ordeal that was made around it," Wil exclusively told us.
"When Joey ended things with Grace she was gutted, so I think she definitely still has strong feelings for him. I think no one expected that either. I think Joey changed up pretty quickly which took us all by surprise so I can't imagine how Grace would have felt at the time."

Uma then added, "I think it would be weird for them not to have any form of feelings for each other now. It would be strange because it's not like when you have a connection with somebody, the connection just goes when they do something wrong.
"So I think yeah, it would be strange for them especially because they used to be together on the outside they shared a lot on the outside so I think it would be it would be strange for them not to have anything still."
Hmm.

Could we see Joey and Grace recouple in the future? Stranger things have happened in the Love Island villa tbh.
Remember when Tanya Manhenga recoupled during Casa Amor even though she told Shaq Muhammad she loved him?
Or when Jordan Hames tried to get to know India Reynolds TWO DAYS after he asked Anna Vakili to be his girlfriend?
OR when Michael Griffiths was chaldish AF towards Amber Gill but then made a U-turn when Joanna Chimonides was dumped from the villa?
Yeah they were all WILD times, so anything is possible.
