Things are heating up in the Love Island villa in Tuesday night’s upcoming episode as it’s revealed Joey Essex and Grace Jackson spent the night in the Hideaway together.
In Monday’s show, Joey told ex-fling Grace they should have some privacy and stay in their own bed – but viewers had to wait to see if they went ahead with it.
Joey’s current partner Samantha Kenny burst into tears after hearing about his night away with Grace, with fellow islanders branding him ‘disrespectful’ towards the makeup artist.
The Sun has now revealed the duo did in fact stay in the Hideaway, which sparked chaos in the villa.
A source told the publication: ‘Joey and Grace can’t keep their hands off each other, it’s the most chemistry we’ve seen on Love Island for years.

The couple sparked chaos in the villa after deciding to stay in the Hideaway together
‘After facing Samantha, Joey took Grace straight into The Hideaway so they could continue their alone time. They were hands-on in the Casa Amor villa despite being with four other Islanders, so obviously they could really go for it in the privacy of The Hideaway.
‘They kept things covered up by the duvet but let’s just say just like with the sleepover at Casa, producers have so much footage they can’t use it all without it becoming the Grace and Joey show.’
In Monday’s episode, viewers slammed Joey as a master manipulator after he insisted he wanted to carry on his romance with Samantha despite having a cosy night with Grace.
The former TOWIE star’s head turned when his ex Grace came into the villa last week – and he has been distancing himself from Samantha since.
But the reality TV star infuriated viewers when he returned from his sleepover with Grace – during which the pair kissed – for how he treated Samantha.
On arriving back in the villa, Samantha got emotional as she said she felt ’embarrassed’ and as though she had been a ‘place holder’ until Grace came in.
Joey failed to pull Samantha for a chat straight away when he returned from the sleepover and later told her he wanted to continue their romance – but minutes later publicly snogged Grace on the daybeds.
After a conversation with Harriet on the daybeds in which Samantha started crying, she then took herself off to the terrace to have a cry in private.

Jess followed her up and told Samantha that Joey was looking for her, but the make-up artist said she didn’t want to talk as she was embarrassed.
‘You’ve not treated someone wrong,’ Jess said. ‘You’ve not made someone feel that way.’
Samantha replied: ‘I don’t want him to see that I’m upset because I’m embarrassed.
‘Grace walks in and I just get kicked to the curb. It’s not nice.’
‘He doesn’t give a flying f** about my feeling,’ she told Jess, before Joey came up to the terrace.
Samantha said: ‘Joe honestly just leave me with Jess for a bit please. It’s just embarrassing. I feel really embarrassed.’
After a while had passed, Joey pulled Samantha for a chat.
‘I saw you upset earlier,’ he said, before Samantha replied: ‘I feel embarrassed if I’m honest I feel like I was a place holder until someone else came in.’
Joey then said he still wanted to carry things on with her, to which she said: ‘After what’s happened there why would I want to carry on?’
‘Did you kiss her?’ she asked. ‘I’m never going to win with someone you have history with. I’m just ashamed.

‘There’s nothing anyone can say to me that’s going to make me feel better. I’m just put next to Grace now and she’s beautiful.’
‘You’re beautiful what are you talking about,’ Joey replied, before Samantha pointed out that they hadn’t been physical in two weeks and it took him and Grace just one day.
Love Island fans rushed to X, formerly Twitter, to share their rage at Joey’s ‘manipulation’ by saying he wanted to continue their romance despite clearly wanting Grace.
They wrote: ‘”I still want to carry on” Joey is the biggest master manipulator I have ever seen,’
‘Joey is blatantly lying to Samantha, he said to Grace he didn’t fancy Samantha so why is he gaslighting Sam being like “You’re the one who wanted to close things off.” WHY ARE THESE MEN LYING PIGS, just be honest ffs!’
‘Joey is just very cruel and misleading. It’s bad that you’ve embarrassed the minute a bombshell enters, the least you can do is be honest’.

I like dressing up so I’ll bring style, and I’d like to think I’m quite funny so I’ll make people laugh. Bringing honesty as well – I’m good at picking up on people’s personality traits and side-eyeing those who might be a liar.

HOW WOULD FRIENDS/FAMILY DESCRIBE YOU? My friends would say that I’m the loudest person in the group, I’m the one who’s always up for doing a dare, the life and soul of the party. My family would say that I’m bossy and that it’s always my way or the highway, they’d say I rule the roost.
