Joey Essex has been getting all Bear Grylls on us ever since he exited the I'm A Celebrity jungle and, now, the TOWIE star has posted a picture of himself balanced on the edge of a TERRIFYINGLY HIGH CLIFF!

However Joe, who sported short-shorts, sunnies and bright white trainers, looked pretty chilled out with his new seat. No ropes, no supports, no fear - just a casual smile and a little: "Good morning Africa."

We just… we just can't even.

So what's Joey doing in Africa? Filming a new TV show about monkeys, of course!

A source close to the TOWIE star explained to a national newspaper: “The ITV bosses knew that Joey would be compulsive viewing in the jungle so they thought of another project for him to take part in afterwards.

“They knew he would go down a treat - and he has - so now there’s lots of excitement about his monkey show.

“Joey loves monkeys so this was a concept that they came up with after lots of conversations. He is going to go out and make it once the jungle and Christmas are over and done with.

“ITV2 reckon it will be one of their most popular shows of 2014 so they’re as excited as Joey.”

Sounds way more fun than sitting at home and watching your ex-girlfriend get to grips with the Celebrity Big Brother house, at least!
