Sam, 23, recently found out she had the condition and Joey, also 23, has reportedly been there for her ever since.
An insider told a UK newspaper: “Joey was devastated when he found out about Sam’s condition and instantly wanted to be there for her.”
Following their split, Joey started a romance with his fellow I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here contestant Amy Willerton, but it was short lived.
“They may have had a messy break-up,” the source continued, “But that didn’t stop Joey caring for Sam. She still has feelings for him too.”
Former TOWIE star Joey apparently reached out to his ex just days after she was told she had the incurable disease, and it’s brought them together again.
The source said: “The situation has thrown them back together and now they are closer than ever.”
Sam became ill during her appearance on Celebrity Big Brother but even after several hospital trips, had no idea what was making her so unwell.
During her time in the CBB house, Sam became close to former Made In Chelsea star Ollie Locke.
If Joey and Sam are getting back together, it seems as if they will be doing it away from the cameras this time, with the source confirming: “Joey is not going to be returning to TOWIE.”
