He told the newspaper: ‘She’ll always have a special place in my heart – I just care for her and want to be there for her as she’s going through a bad time.’
Joey said things were slightly awkward when he left the I’m A Celebrity jungle and Sam had done a kiss and tell.
‘Obviously when I came out of the jungle and saw that, it wasn’t nice for me to see but it doesn’t make me see Sam in a different way.’
He continued: ‘I was more concerned about how she was feeling as she was ill.’
