Joey was exposed as a player in the clips that showed him telling both Grace and Jessy that he was uninterested in the other girl.
Moments after reassuring Grace that he only had eyes for her, Joey went on to take his relationship with Jessy to the next level by kissing her on the terrace.
Grace was furious to see the way he had lied to both of them, and insisted that she had been the one to end the relationship because she saw right through him.
When he tried to protest that it was him who dumped her, she ended up shouting “Bore off man!”
He retorted “Bore off yourself,” before claiming that his romantic relationship with Grace was completely done before he moved on to Jessy.
He finished off the rant by exclaiming: “Shut your mouth!”
Audiences at home were left appalled to see the 33-year-old man speaking so disrespectfully to his ex on live television.
Another agreed: “You can always tell a guy’s true self when he’s talking about an ex or arguing with a girl.”
A third chimed in: “Joey showing his true colours. Obviously used to speaking to girls like that.”
Joey and Grace actually dated each other in real life before reconnecting on Love Island.
The pair met in Ibiza and things heated up between them quickly before Joey left her feeling “hurt and confused” when he ended their relationship out of the blue.
A source previously told the Sun: “Grace was less than impressed by the way their relationship ended.
“There’s definitely some unfinished business between them and she isn’t going to hold back in expressing how she feels in the villa.
“Despite pursuing her, Joey ended up dumping Grace, which left her feeling very confused.
“She’s drop dead gorgeous, and Joey is bound to regret the way he treated her.”
The couple initially rekindled their romance after Grace arrived on the set of the ITV dating show, even participating in such a steamy sleepover that show bosses had to cut the X-rated footage.
But it seems a tiger doesn’t change his stripes and Grace was left feeling hurt and confused once again as Joey moved on to someone new.
