Love Island fans have declared that Samantha Kenny’s ‘days in the villa are limited’ after Joey Essex pursued his ex-girlfriend Grace Jackson in Sunday’s episode.
The TOWIE star, 33, and the Manchester model, 25, dated briefly a year ago after meeting in Ibiza.
And his arrival in the villa has sent 26-year-old Samantha, who Joey has been paired with since he arrived, going wild.
The makeup artist looked visibly furious after Joey kissed Grace not once, but twice, during the steamy beer-pong challenge on Friday’s episode.
The last episode saw Samantha chose to distance herself and went to sleep outside on the sofa beds.

And his arrival in the villa has sent 26-year-old Samantha, who Joey has been paired with since he arrived, going wild.
Joey walked up to her and asked, ‘Samantha, what are you doing? “We just played a game in the garden and that’s it.”
But an angry Samantha replied: “I just want to back off now because you and her have a good thing.”
An annoyed Joey responded, “You’re telling everyone it doesn’t bother you, but you’re sleeping on the couch.”
As the conversation continued, Samantha insisted, “It doesn’t bother me, I want you and her to rekindle.”
But Joey questioned: ‘Why do you say that? That doesn’t mean it’s going to revive.’
However, he then came in and spoke to Grace in the bathroom, where he downplayed his relationship with Samantha, saying, “Samantha and I get along, that’s all.” In terms of friendship we get along well.’
Viewers took to social media to argue that Joey needed to tell Samantha that he wasn’t interested and that she needed to get out soon as he was just waiting for the right moment to get rid of her.
They wrote: ‘Joey finally admitted that he only sees Samantha as a friend… When is he going to say it to her face instead of his ex?’ Joey??? Do you and Samantha get along as a friendship???? Does Samantha know?

‘Joey tells Grace privately that he and Samantha get along as friends and then calls Sam pathetic for feeling the vibe and wanting to break up, I know she’s dramatic but she’s right about this; IN THE FORM OF FRIENDSHIP??? Joey, she’s planning her wedding.
‘Joey has barely done anything compared to these other men and Samantha is already taking a step back. She should take a few more steps and walk out the door of this villa, please; Omds Samantha is crying blood and Joey didn’t say goodbye? Yes, she could kill someone.’
Doesn’t Samantha realize she’s pushing Joey away and Will doesn’t love her but loves Uma? like honey, you’re basically making the decision to leave the villa LMFAOOO; Samantha thought she had won the Joey Essex lottery and now she can see that she is slipping away and spiraling.
-Joey? Get along in a friendly way? This man wants Samantha dead SO MUCH; Joey actually said that she “gets along with him as a kind of friend” and that it makes her feel bad for being a little distant. I think this is the real him. He loves himself, not her.’
‘Joey is saying all this but hasn’t actually sat down to talk to Samantha?’ Men are so annoying; In the form of friendship”……Joey says this to everyone except Samantha; Not Joey telling Grace that she gets along with Sam on a friendly basis. BLOOD IN MY EYES Men!!!’
‘Joey says he and Samantha get along well. Oh Samantha, darling, your days in the villa are limited; Grace chose Joey to spend the night. Yes, Samantha, you can start packing your bags; ‘”Samantha and I just get along…like in a friendship kind of way.” JOEY LITERALLY FRIENDLY WITH SAMANTHA.’
‘Joey didn’t even go to reassure Samantha before he left, I’m afraid he’s been planning his exit; Joey has been waiting for a reason to get rid of Samantha. He’s done doing this and trying to make her look crazy, I’m not even entertained.
Grace later chose Joey for a night out, leaving Samantha visibly devastated, as she told the other girls, “I don’t want to fight over someone.” I prefer to go home with my head held high, they don’t force me to do anything.’
While Joey didn’t even try to hide his joy at being chosen by Grace, he didn’t even say goodbye to Samantha before leaving.
He admitted: ‘There are definitely feelings there. I didn’t expect this, I’m shocked but I’m exhausted. With Samantha there’s not much she can do, I can only move on.’
Speaking to Grace, he declared that he and Samantha were “over” once and for all, saying there was “something missing.”
Joey said: ‘I respect Samantha a lot, I still want to be friends with her. I just feel like it was never good. Samantha was missing something. I feel like that’s already done. I want to be happy, I don’t want to get involved in agg.’
When Grace asked him what he was looking for, he replied, ‘I’m looking for you.’ I’m looking for something serious, I only get into things if I know they’re going to work. With you and me it was only the long distance, or I would have gone further.’
And he added: “We were very close, we had a great time together. I will never forget those vacations.
The pair then exchanged several passionate kisses by the pool, before Joey admitted over dinner that his “dreams were coming true.”
