Love Island twins Jess and Eve Gale slam ITV bosses

Love Island twins Jess and Eve Gale have slammed ITV bosses as they said they should stop sending exes into the villa. 

Their comments came after TOWIE star Joey Essex’s ex Grace Jackson entered the villa as a bombshell, which sparked an immediate connection and left Samantha Kenny being dumped during the latest recoupling. 

Jess and Eve said the show’s format is resembling Ex On The Beach and believe the show should not have contestants who already history.  

Speaking to The Sun, Jess said: ‘When you go in, it’s the worst possible thing when a bombshell comes in already and when they have added history – especially with Samantha, she was put at a disadvantage and was one step behind.’

While Eve added: ‘I’ve seen a lot of comments saying that they’re ruined the format by copying Ex On The Beach…I think they do it to spice it up but it does feel like very Ex On The Beach vibes.

‘I like how it’s normal people going in there and people who don’t know each other, it makes it more authentic.’

Bombshell Grace left ex-fling Joey completely stunned when she walked into the Love Island villa last week. 

The former couple endured a short-lived holiday romance last year in Ibiza but ended in a abrupt bitter split. 

Just days into her Love Island experience, Grace dubbed their secret fling ‘intense’ and revealed their ‘months long romance ended quite frosty’.

While the couple 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 Friday’s episode, Grace told Nicole Samuel said: ‘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.’ 

During Sunday night’s episode, Joey – who lives in Essex – revealed he cut off their romance because of their long-distance.

When Grace – who lives in Manchester – asked Joey what he’s looking for in a relationship, Joey shared why their fling stopped.

He said: ‘I’m looking for something serious. I don’t really step into something unless I know for a fact that’s going to work. 

‘With me and you, I just felt like the long distance was the only thing in the way. Apart from the long distance, I felt like we would have gone further.

‘Depending on what happens with me and you, we can make things work. You weren’t prepared to move to Essex and I weren’t prepared to move to Manchester.’

Grace said: ‘I actually do want to move to London and I’m planning to. Like regardless of that situation anyways. So that would work better.’ But it’s not just Joey and Grace who know each other from the outside, new bombshell Matilda Draper also has history with Ronnie Vint, having previously dated his best mate.
