Sitting beside the firepit, Joey begins by saying: ‘Obviously mate, you’ve got to understand I am hearing things…Grace has told me you’ve said a few things.

‘She’s told you to behave….apparently you’ve been flirting with her.’

Omar interrupts to fume: ‘But at the same time I’m going about my business…then I’m asking what’s been said and I ain’t being told what’s been said. So, that’s annoying me even more now…’

Joey tries to insist: ‘I’m not trying to embarrass you.’

But Omar points out: ‘But in the same breath you’re saying it’s no competition, it’s no competition and I’m thinking, I ain’t even trying to compete with you. Why did you say it then?’

Talking things through Omar explains his side to Joey and the pair come to an understanding and hug it out.

As Grace watches from afar, how will she and Joey navigate this bump in the road?

It comes in contrast to reports from The Sun that the pair will share an ‘explosive row’ over Omar flirting with Grace.

As Grace watches from afar, how will she and Joey navigate this bump in the road?

A source told the publication: ‘Joey cares about Grace and was livid when he heard Omar was flirting with her behind his back.’

They added: ‘It all came to a head on Thursday night. Joey pulled Omar aside to talk it out and explain how he and Grace were getting serious so Omar needed to back off.

‘It escalated from there and they were like a pair of rutting deer – physically squaring up to each other, in each others faces and arguing. The other lads pulled them apart.’

It comes after Millie Court claimed this year’s Love Island bad boy Joey has a game plan and knows how to ‘put on a good show’ after starring on reality TV for 13 years.

The Love Island 2021 winner, 27, praised bosses for ‘upping their game’ for series 11 as she described the former TOWIE star’s behaviour as ‘iconic’ because he’s ‘bringing the drama’ to the show.

The influencer insisted that Joey ‘knows what he is doing’ and is ‘putting on a good show’ as she shared her thoughts on the latest series.

Speaking exclusively to MailOnline, Millie said: ‘His [Joey’s] was a really good entrance and I think that it was pretty iconic and he’s been really iconic. He’s obviously been bringing the drama, which is always good.

‘And well, it’s Joey Essex, he’s been in lots of reality TV shows before, so I feel like he knows what he’s doing. He’s putting on a good show. It’s what we all want to see.’

While Grace and Joey still haven’t divulged the ins and outs of their secret romance, Joey and Grace revealed they met in Ibiza on holiday last year

It seems the duo have both missed their ‘intense romance’ as producers reportedly had to edit scenes from their night in the hideaway for being too x-rated scenes

She continued: ‘Drama at the end of the day is what keeps people watching Love Island, isn’t it. So as long as he keeps bringing that, then he’ll stay in.

‘I think it was pretty iconic of Love Island to sign him though, everyone was really shocked and wasn’t expecting it because in the past it’s just been ex-Islanders coming in and I think now obviously Love Island has stepped away from that and just getting celebrities in general to come in, so they’ve upped their game.’

While Grace and Joey still haven’t divulged the ins and outs of their secret romance, Joey and Grace revealed they met in Ibiza on holiday last year.

Grace admitted she and Joey continued their holiday fling for months after the trip ended, spending nearly every day together.

Joey and Grace, who kept each other off their social media, carried on dating despite her living in Manchester while Joey was in Essex.

During a previous episode, Grace told Nicole Samuel: ‘So, we met last year in Ibiza and it’s actually funny because he’s not my type at all. We had a bit of a holiday romance. It carried on when we were back home.

‘It was quite intense. We were seeing each other for a few months. It kind of ended a little bit frosty to be honest and we’ve not really spoken since.’
