The TOWIE star has seen himself locking horns with many of his co-stars and was called out by his fellow Islanders for his pot-stirring behaviour following the villa’s explosive Grafties night.

During a discussion with with Jessy Potts, Joey’s argumentative ways were called out.

It then resulted in heated words between the Love Island couple.

Jesy was heard shouting at him: “Hold on! Listen to me!”

“Let me talk Joey,” she begged as she struggled to get a word in edge ways as they disagreed over Joey ‘exposing’ Mimii’s “secret mission”.

It resulted in Jessy storming off from Joey after they failed to see eye-to-eye after their furious row as she added: “I can’t be f***ing ar**d with you right now.”

But for fans at home, Joey’s behaviour has left them seething – as they declared they were contacting TV watchdog Ofcom.

Writing on social media, one said: “Does joey think he’s intimidating? such a bully #loveisland @Ofcom.”

A second wrote: “Me calling OFCOM because Joey Essex is vile and I need him off my screen.”

“Nah he’s obsessed with Grace. OFCOM,” said a third.

Love Island continues on ITV2 and ITVX.

Love Island's biggest Ofcom complaints

Love Island has been hit with thousands of complaints over the years - here are the most moaned about moments

Dani’s tears: in 2018, Ofcom received 2,644 complaints when Dani Dyer was left in floods of tears over Jack Fincham during the Casa Amor. Viewers felt the show had been manipulated to make it appear Jack was going to cheat, when in fact he wasn’t. And poor Dani didn’t learn the truth for days.

Maura fury: Although she later won over the public, Maura Higgins got off to a bad start in 2019. After arriving as a bombshell, she made a beeline for Tommy Fury – who was coupled up with Molly-Mae Hague – and tried to kiss him while straddling him on a daybed. 709 people accused her actions as ‘sexual harassment’.

Faye explodes: The 2021 series of Love Island remains the most complained series about yet. 4,330 complaints were made to Ofcom after Faye Winter received a postcard from Casa Amor, which appeared to show her fella Teddy Soares kissing a bombshell. But a whopping 24,763 complaints flooded in when Faye came face-to-face with Teddy again. Faye’s shocking outburst even sparked a reaction from male domestic abuse charity, ManKind Inititive, who branded her ‘unacceptable’.

Bish bash: The following year, the fallout from Movie Night sparked 3,617 Ofcom complaints. Fans of the show were horrified by Luca Bish’s harsh reaction when Gemma Owen was shown speaking to bombshell Billy Brown.

Muggy Mitch: Almost 1,000 Ofcom complaints flooded in last year in the final week of Love Island. Viewers were unimpressed with Mitchel Taylor’s treatment of Abi Moores and felt he was ‘targeting’ her. Fans even urged Love Island bosses to check on Abi’s ‘mental health and welfare’.
