 Joey Essex Breaks Heart of Ex-Girlfriend Grace Jackson as He Ditches Her for Love Island Bombshell Jessy Potts

The former TOWIE star, 33-year-old Joey Essex, has once again broken the heart of his ex-girlfriend Grace Jackson, 25, by ditching her in favor of a new love interest on the popular reality TV show Love Island.

Grace and Joey first met last summer while on holiday in Ibiza and quickly struck up a romantic relationship. However, the couple's long-distance dynamic, with Grace residing in Manchester and Joey in Essex, proved challenging, and they eventually split.

Just when it seemed the pair had rekindled their relationship and were even discussing taking things to the next level, Joey has cruelly cast Grace aside for the arrival of a new bombshell, 25-year-old influencer Jessy Potts.

Heartbroken Grace was left in tears after Joey returned from a date with Jessy, admitting he felt a stronger connection with the newcomer than with his ex-girlfriend. "I'm fuming, I'll be honest," Grace confessed to co-star Harriett Blackmore. "With Joey, he has been how he has been with me, this constant reassurance and feeling like I genuinely believe and trust everything he's saying. He's been that way with me, so it's made me open up and be that way with him. For him to then go on a date and come back in, I felt like he was so cold with me... his energy was so off."

Expressing her disappointment, Grace told Joey directly, "I am so disappointed in you."

The TV source revealed the extent of Grace's heartbreak, stating, "Grace is devastated... she believed in her romance with Joey, the history they share together and everything they have built since her arrival in the Love Island villa. But Joey has completely dismissed their time as a couple in pursuit of his new connection and even claimed his initial spark with Jessy was stronger than his feelings towards Grace after two weeks."

Jessy, who hails from Leicester, admitted to finding Joey "good looking" prior to entering the villa, and the pair seemed to hit it off immediately. Joey confessed, "I felt I got deeper in 20 minutes with Jessy than with Grace."

This latest development marks a significant shift in the dynamics within the Love Island villa, with the impending breakup between Joey and Grace set to cause major disruption. Wednesday's episode is expected to be one of the most dramatic of the series, as the fallout from Joey's actions unfolds.

The relationship between Joey and Grace has been rocky since the couple found themselves in the bottom three following a public vote. Their attempt to rekindle their romance has now been shattered by Joey's sudden and seemingly ruthless decision to pursue a new connection with Jessy.

With Grace left heartbroken and emotions running high in the villa, the future of Joey's love life remains uncertain. Viewers will have to tune in to see how this love triangle plays out and whether Grace can ultimately forgive Joey for breaking her heart once again.
