Fans of Joey Essex will be over the moon to hear the latest rumours swirling around the TOWIE star, who secured his place in our hearts in this year's series of I'm A Celebrity.

Yup, according to insiders, Joey will be touring Africa in a new show that is set to air on ITV2.

People are already comparing it to Sky 1's highly successful An Idiot Abroad, which features Karl Pilkington, Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant.

They explained to the Daily Star:

"Joey is happy to have his own show. He's a bit of a car crash to watch so he's perfect for this type of series."

Joey Essex has recently been spending a lot of time with his best I'm A Celebrity gal pal, Amy Willerton

Apparently Joey will, like Mark Wright before him, be leaving his Essex hometown in the New Year for his so far unnamed show. And, unsurprisingly, The Only Way Is Essex's producers aren't all too happy about it:

"TOWIE stars are rapidly falling off the bandwagon after receiving all these wonderful offers elsewhere.

"Show bosses are hoping the new show won't affect Joey's commitments too much but ultimately they are frustrated that one of their big stars might be unavailable to them."

Intriguing.
