The love birds enjoyed a feast of pizza and chips on their first night out the jungle, with Joey posting a pic if the two munching away on Twitter.

Enjoying the luxuries of the modern world post-jungle, Joey then posted a picture of the two lounging by the pool together. Joey has even introduced his jungle Jane to his dad, Donald, despite him previously doubting anything would happen between the pair.

During their time in the jungle Donald suspected there was unfinished business between Joey and ex-fiance Sam Faiers. He said: 'They still love one another. Joey and Sam still have the rings. To be fair, nothing’sreally happened with Amy.'

When asked more about about his budding romance with his fellow contestant, Joey revealed to a UK newspaper: 'I got to know her and I realised she's actually a proper nice girl. To me, looks don't mean anything. I've always loved personality in a girl.'

Joey posted this tweet pic of the couple enjoying their first meal out of the jungle.

He continued: 'There was sexual tension but we couldn't do anything because there isn't any privacy in there. There are 12 people, cameras and millions of people watching.'

Bookmakers are now offering odds of 10-1 that they will marry like the original jungle love birds: Katie Price and Peter Andre.
