Joey has come across really well, he was let down badly by Lauren during the team challenge. He was literally carrying the entire weight at one stage, then she had the audacity to blame their shortcomings on him when his body gave out in the later stages. Yet, he didn't lose his temper. Hats off to him, hope he wins this, he deserves it.
@Mayhem 2.0 It's not her disability that let her down, it was her attitude. Let's not confuse the two, we should not speak poorly of her because she was born without an arm - that wasn't the problem here. From the start she had an issue with Joey, and refused to work with him. He tried his best but she sabotaged his efforts. All I can say is Joey came across as a gentleman, and his reserved demeanour is admirable, I truly hope he goes on to win.
Just shows celebrities aren’t robots, normal people with feelings just cos he gets the piss taken out of him on celebrity juice n things never know what’s going on in his real life always be kind 👊🏽
I actually really like Joey. I used to think he was annoying because he wasn’t the Brightest. But i will you what, he seems a really lovely person. I hope he wins. I lost my brother to suicide when I was ten. It’s something that never leaves you.
LA Agreed. Lost all respect for him in how he portrayed himself in that show, can’t quite remember it’s name but I think it was Celebs Go Dating. It sucks that a lot of people feel like in order to be famous they feel as though losing common sense and acting stupid is an easy way to go about it
I can assure you that Joey Essex isn't that stupid, he certainly might not be the most "classroom" smartest but his ability to capitalise on that to make it a marketable attribute for his TV personality is actually very clever
I’m 49, and like most in the early days just thought he was a bit thick and rather dopey. I was wrong. I’ve seen him in a few things recently and he’s clearly an absolutely top guy, genuinely nice and down to earth. He thoroughly deserves all the good luck I hope comes his way. I would be very proud to call this man my son. An absolute giant of a human being. God bless you son ❤️🙏🏻
Nice comment sir...I like joey I always thought he was a bit thick but a good lad with Morrill's and humour...I've seen a lot in my life ..ex forces and deaths of my very close ones ..
I can’t imagine the trauma of losing your mother at such a vital age. It must have felt like a huge rejection and abandonment, but also despair at how it could have happened and why couldn’t she have been saved. I’m sure his mother would be very proud of her son.
I love Joey Essex. He reminds me of my son in every way looks and mannerisms. I think you can see the sadness in his eyes sometimes. Totally heartbreaking to lose your mum so needlessly at such a young age, so very very sad, but i bet shes looking down now and she'd be so proud of him. Bless you Joey
I had tears coming down my eyes. He’s become such a selfless young man and everyone should be praising him. It can’t be easy, everyone needs to see it from all aspects x
@@TTV_niekske genuinely just wasnt even that funny, ur sense of humor is as dull as a fucking butter knife, bore off u actually r the definition of a buzzkill
My mother went shopping for some boiled ham for tea. I never saw her again. I'm 51 years old now and I was 7 when that happened. Fair play to Joey even bringing it up and the first step to dealing with it. I always try and use humour as my therapist.
@@eeooooee2234 I know right can you imagine how bad these peoples lives are to come here and say that kind of reply. You know for a fact they are not doing well, It's sad really.
The DS have a lot of respect for Joey and that says something. Guy is straight up, gives it his all and doesn’t take himself too seriously. Much love my guy. 🤜🏽
I respect him so much for that. He has a TV personality which is bubbly and a lot of people give him flak for it. Especially his intelligence, but the reality is a lot similar to how a lot of people feel right now, you can relate, at least some of us, and he's incredibly smart and incredibly talented. I just wish people would leave him alone.
People only think he's dumb because he's gone out of his way to act in that manner on programmes like "educating joey Essex" and "towie"... He used to go on those programes and literally say dumb shit that he knew was ridiculous and thick to try and be funny... So how can he now be surprised that the world thinks he isn't clever after he himself went out of his way to give us all this impression?
Seen him in a completely different light since he started this show. I've actually liked him since he was on celebs go dating found him funny af on it but I never in a million years thought he would be cut out for this sorta show. Proved me wrong big time
10 years old is a very young age to go through such a traumatic event like that, Joey should be very proud of what he has become, he is a sucsessful young man and his mum would be very proud of him
My dad took his own life when I was 5. I know exactly how Joey feels. Loyalty means the world to me. I have major trust issues and my wall will always be up because you accept it but you never get over it. So whoever is feeling depressed always remember to talk and everyone is worth loving.
I don’t know joey Personally but from what I’ve seen of him he’s actually a mature man who is in touch with his emotions and can articulate them pretty well which is so important in terms of being a balanced human being. Respect to him for that and yeah he’s no where near as dumb as he makes himself out to be
*It takes a wise man to act the fool* Joey has been playing dumb for years, for the entertainment value. And fair play to him, he’s done pretty well out of it. I’m glad he’s done this show and completely been himself.. Good luck Joe. 👍
Absolutely correct, but I always knew it. He was always playing to the gallery, and he did it so professionally. There's a mental giant in his brokenness - but maybe in many other people also.
I didn’t know such a tragic event took place in this mans life , I had tears in my eyes . Never judge a book by its cover until you have read the book you don’t know what it’s about. MUCH LOVE TO YOU J.E
Hahaha that girl having a go at joe because shes struggling to take the weight, says it even louder as she walks past the guards just so they can see who's fault it apparently is.
This is why I love this show! Other than the physical side of it, it really does show you people for who they’re whether a celebrity or not everyone struggles and this show is brilliant for showing that you can push through!!!
Joey is amazing where he’s got to and what he’s achieved,I lost my dad to suicide in my 30,s and it was totally soul destroying,how he got through it at ten I’ll never know but I do know he is inspiring,sharing his story will give hope to those young and old grieving and he can feel proud that through his mother and his story many lives will be helped👊🏼
Joey is a top lad ,respect to him takes a man to be able to show his emotions like that on national TV , people misjudge him , I've never met him but I can tell hes got a good heart and really genuine what you see is what you get and I respect him for it .
Omg, to see Joey looking vulnerable was like seeing him on a new light, I didn't know about his mum. Tough to lose a parent at any age! Just wanted to give him a hug!!
Full credit to the guy, I hope he makes it to the very end.. I can understand his inability not to trust anyone as I've never been able to either, it can make this world a dark & lonely place!
Best move he ever done was do this training. I joined the army cadets at 15 and as far I'm concerned, it should be mandatory for all youngsters to experience and learn some of it.
I had no idea about his life away from showbiz where he plays a lovable clown. He's a lovable intelligent humble guy and done so well for himself. I hope he wins the whole thing and I'll never be able to look at him for just his joker side again. He's touched the heart of a nation and an absolute top bloke. All the very bet from Scotland👍👍
I don't think he comes across as fake, always seems really likable and funny, also there's no way he is stupid someone who can get that famous and make money for just being "Joey Essex" has to be clever.
Oh goodness. I can’t even begin to comprehend how difficult that must have been for Joey. 10 years old and his mum decided to end her own life. I used to judge Joey, I openly admit that, however, looking at clips of him like this, I really feel awful for doing that. He really shows his maturity and just himself in this. Joey, I sincerely apologise to you for judging you in the past, and I sincerely apologise for the fact you lost someone so precious as your mum so young. Sending love 💖 I hope you’re doing well! X
I lost my mother when I was 9 years old, it was very unexpected and hard on my family. I can emphasise with Joey and understand the pain of loosing a parent. There are probably people reading this who have also lost a parent. Please know you’re not alone and it does get better, it just takes time :)
Have met joey multiple times considering we are from the same area and he is honestly the soundest guy.. always chilled, having a laugh, of course when on tv he has a character to portray in a sense and he knows that as well but im glad he is featured on this show because it is showing that he is generally a humble dude at heart
This show has shown the real Joey Essex for me. Other shows need to get him to stop playing the thick card because he really isn’t. I guess maybe now he’s grown up a lot since TOWIE days where probably bowed down to the producers and went along with whatever they said. Keep going Joey.
@Roxie Rocks Hmm possibly but i think a lot of it he chooses him to do himself, he's obviously smart though he's managed to become famous and make money just for being "Joey Essex" I agree with you this show is good for him to show a different side, he's coming across really well hard worker and team player, i think he will have an even bigger fanbase after this.
got a lot of respect for him after seeing this finding out a lot of things I didn't know about him losing your mum at 10 and then growing up as a celebrity is hard for anyone to imagine completely changed my view on how I see him, to me he deserves to be a celebrity
Foxey holding in the chuckle when asking about the frosty situation. Then a revealing interview which shows there is more to Joey Essex than we've seen in the past.
One thing I liked was when Lauren asked if Joey was ok. Despite the arguing there is that bond and wanting to look after someone. One of the qualities talked about.
Poor lad. The character he is he is soooooooo funny to watch on the tele but it just goes to show that it’s not all smiles and laughs. Losing your mum is bad enough but losing your mum that way would leave you with loads of unanswered questions I guess. He’s a great guy and hope he finds some answers to the questions he may have. 💯👊🙏
His mum took her own life when he was 10 omg that would change anyone,I lost my dad at 29 and it changed my life completely what disappoints me is his life on reality trash TV doesn't do him any justice for the real shit hes been thru
I’ve no idea who this guy is or why this video was recommended but I can relate. I really felt for him here. 13yrs since my mother passed away and I’m still expecting her to walk through my front door and meet my beautiful wife for the first time. Silly wee things like that pray on my mind. You only ever get one mum and mine’s was a fearless Scottish redhead who loved her family. I was lucky and blessed to have such an amazing mother!
I completely get what he’s going through I lost my mum when I was 4 from cancer. Honestly it’s not the same situation but it’s still really hard not having her for so long I’m now 16 and still struggle to open up about it x
Av always found Joey Essex hilarious and could watch educating Joey essex over and over again hes as funny as they come listening to his child hood and what the lads gone threw (it’s the 2nd time av heard his ad he did on celebs go dating) but neva opened up as he has on this episode (hats off to you Joey a could nt imagine what you ve had to go threw and how you felt ova the years.
It's good to see a different side to Joey. Loosing his mum, like for everyone with a close relationship with their mam, must have been so hard and devastating for him. I think for everyone losing family members is terrifying but I think for most the thought of it being a parent, especially thir mam is even more frightening. Its something you wouldn't wish on your worst enemy xxxxxxx
Bless you babe. You have just grown even more in my eyes. Watching this. I can’t answer your questions hun. But she carried you for 9 months she loved you. Only people who take their own lives know the truth. You have grown into a successful very likeable young man. I understand trust issue. Stand proud joey Essex you are an example . God bless. X
I'm guilty of great misjudgment of Joey Essex, this programme threw a whole new perspective on a kind, sweetnatured and ultimately courageous individual. I had thought him stupid and shallow, very one dimensional, but it takes guts to open your heart as he's done. He isn't stupid, he's poorly educated, and considering his present position in life, he's done remarkably well for himself. Good luck to you, Joey, you deserve it. Always be proud of yourself.
I just want everyone to know. Losing someone as close as a family member after you know them is worse than not knowing them at all. Trust me, I have been through both situations.
