It’s not uncommon for TOWIE to welcome Love Island stars into the cast. Remember Olivia Attwood’s fiery stint on the show? Then there was Jack Fincham’s Halloween cameo, which was…quite something.
Love Island 2019 star Joe Garratt also appeared on the show at the end of 2021 when he briefly dated Frankie Sims. The pair went on a couple of dates but he failed to win over Frankie’s sister Chloe and their romance fizzled out.
But it seems Joe hasn’t given up looking for love on TV as he’s reportedly set to star on another dating show, MTV’s Celeb Ex on the Beach.
According to reports, Joe is the latest sign up for the next series of Ex on the Beach, where he’ll live in a luxury villa alongside a bunch of other celeb singletons and face the horror of getting confronted by one of his former flames.
Who knows, maybe Frankie herself might pop up as one of Joe’s exes? We're certainly hoping.
Joe won’t be the only TOWIE star taking part in Ex on the Beach as it’s been reported that Chloe Brockett, James Lock and his ex-girlfriend Yazmin Oukhellou will all be joining him.
At this point, the series is basically a TOWIE spin-off and we’re completely here for it.
Chloe and Yaz are set to come face-to-face for the first time since they fell out off-screen in 2021. They’ve also both been romantically involved with Lockie so we’re sure sparks are set to fly.
A TV insider revealed, “James always makes great TV so bosses were thrilled when he agreed to come back for another round.
“He has quite the romantic history so there are plenty of exes that they can bring in to create fireworks, and it will certainly be interesting to see how he and Yaz get on."
