Joey has been keeping fans updated while he’s away filming by posting on his Instagram page.

The former I’m a Celebrity contestant has been in Brazil since last Thursday and is obviously already missing his girlfriend Sam Faiers, also 23, as he tweeted her: “Missing my best friend @samanthafaiers”

Meawhile, Joey is gearing up for the release of his autobiography Being Reem. In it he discusses the painful experience of losing his mum when he was a child.

It's the follow up to his previous show in Africa

The Sun published an extract, in which Joey said: “Some people reckoned I stopped learning because of what happened to my mum. Almost like I froze in time. I don’t know about that but I remember it hitting me really hard.

“We didn’t know mum had committed suicide for about two years. Dad didn’t tell us how it happened to start with, he just said she fell over in an accident. I guess he was just trying to protect us and I don’t think he wanted to deal with it himself.

“I was convinced she was just staying in a hotel and was coming back.”
