Love Island's Grace Jackson is looking for love again on All Stars following her doomed romance with Joey Essex. The TOWIE star, 33, was shocked to see his ex, 26, rock up in the villa as a bombshell last year after admitting the pair had shared a romantic past. After coupling up briefly on Love Island, things took a turn between the couple as Joey switched his affections to Jessy Potts and Grace moved on with Reuben Collins.
However, prior to the show, the pair enjoyed a string of dates together - before things went south. So, as Grace sets her sights on new man Luca Bish - as Joey's ex, Jessy, is rumoured to be rocking up on All Stars - here's the lowdown on her split with the reality star O.G.
After getting over his initial shock at seeing Grace in the villa last year, Joey apologised for the way things ended between them. Admitting things had got "really serious, really quickly", he hugged it out with the star before packing on a huge display of PDA.
Speaking about the chemistry between the pair, a source told The Sun they had seen nothing like it, revealing: "It's been a long time since we've seen chemistry like this on Love Island. We always wanted to bring sex back to the villa but didn't expect this kind of tension so soon.
"There was genuinely so much footage of Joey and Grace at it in Casa Amor, bosses were spoilt for choice and some scenes had to be left out of the edit. Because they knew each other before, their entire relationship is on fast forward and it's steamy stuff. Joey can't keep his hands off her.".
