Joey entered the villa like a celebrity bombshell in the first episode where he “stole” Samantha from the now eliminated Sam Taylor, and the pair have been coupled up ever since.

However, Samantha complained that while he claimed he was “all over” someone if he liked them, Joey was anything but “all over” her.

One wrote: “I felt really bad for Samantha! while another completely focused on her tears, writing, “This girl had her whole world crumble in his presence!!! No, that’s a lot for a human…”
