Love Island stars in shock as bombshell tears apart loved-up couple – and nobody saw it coming
NEW Love Island bombshell Konnor Ewudzie performed a twist reality TV producers would be proud of after nicking Joey Essex’s girl.
The barber from Cornwall made a move on Grace Jackson in tonight’s surprise recoupling – leaving Joey in shock.
The Towie lad, 33, has just seen off another love rival, Omar Nyame, who was booted out on Sunday night.
Tension between the two became so heightened, The Sun revealed they “squared up” to each other in a war of words.
Now Joey’s had to handle another man swiping Grace, 25, from right under his nose.
Konnor was able to make his choice first as a new arrival and chose the model from Manchester after feeling a connection when she cooked for him last week.
Konnor told Grace: “That was difficult. Very difficult. I owe it to myself – I want to try and find a connection and that’s why everyone is here.
“At the same time, out of the girls I have spoken to you’re someone I haven’t spoken too quite as much…”
“When I had that first date with you, you said you weren’t quite closed off yet and it wouldn’t be fair to close yourself off that early so that’s something I also took into consideration when picking you.”
Grace said: “I was so surprised. Obviously yesterday I chatted to you and it was more on a friendship level…”
Whilst he flew off the handle at Omar flirting with Grace behind his back, Joey was a little more gracious second time around.
He told Konnor: “I don’t blame you. It’s a compliment if anything mate. Obviously my connection is so strong.”
Konnor replied: Grace is an attractive girl, obviously. She’s someone on the outside that I would find attractive so that’s the only thing I can go by.”
