I’m A Celebrity: Joey Essex confirms he IS dating Amy Willerton

Joey Essex and Amy Willerton are in a relationship.

Joey confirmed that he and his fellow I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! contestant Amy Willerton are in a relationship, revealing that their first date was amazing.

The TOWIE star told the Daily Mirror: “Our first date was amazing. I’m very happy. Look at her, she’s beautiful.”

The news of their romance isn’t a surprise, after the pair spent weeks watching flirting in the jungle before they were voted out together.

It was lust at first sight for Joey, who said after he left the ITV show: “When I first Amy I thought “salty potato”, then I really looked at her and was like, “woaj, she’s beautiful”. But then I got to know her and I realised she’s actually a proper nice girl.”

On Monday the two I’m A Celebrity contestants were seen leaving the Palazzo Versace hotel, Queensland, on Monday, arm-in-arm with massive grins on their faces.

The former Miss Universe contestant wore a fuchsia bandage dress that glowed against her tan which she worked hard on getting during her time in the jungle.

Joey wore his usual skinny jeans with a patterned white polo shirt and brown leather deck shoes.
