Georgia Steel tips Joey Essex for Love Island win

Former Love Island contestant Georgia Steel has told Heart Bingo that she believes Joey Essex will win this year’s edition of the ITV show, suggesting his appearance in the Love Island villa is to genuinely find love rather than enhance his career.

“I really like Joey Essex – he’s my favourite out of the boys to win,” said Georgia. “He’s really bringing the entertainment to the villa and making the show watchable. I feel like he wanted to experience the opportunity – he’s gone in there with open eyes and wanted to see what it’s like.

“I don’t really think it’s a ‘career move’ – I think it’s more about experiencing an opportunity and using it to his advantage to show the public who you really are. I’d definitely like to think he’s in there to meet someone because that’s what Love Island is about. If he was already with someone, then he wouldn’t go in.

“You have to be a bit lucky on Love Island to make things work and he will know that, so I think he’ll be going in with an open mind and seeing how things pan out, so I definitely don’t think it’s a career move or anything.”
