Joey Essex is an English television personality, who rose to fame on ITV’s The Only Way Is Essex in 2011 and has been on our screens, entertaining the nation ever since. Known for his hilarious personality, Joey has amassed an incredible social media following, spanning across Instagram, Twitter and Facebook.

Since his television debut back in 2011, Joey has taken part in a whole host of reality shows such as ITV’s diving competition Splash! In 2013, the famous I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! Where he finished 4th, and Channel 4’s The Jump in 2015, in which he was crowned the winner.

Joey has also appeared in E4’s Celebs go Dating in 2016 and returned for a further feature in 2017, as well as Channel 4’s Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins in 2020 and often appears as a regular guest in Keith Lemon’s Celebrity Juice.

Continuing to be a huge hit with fans, Joey decided to star in his own one-off documentary, Educating Joey Essex. The show took place in South Africa and was narrated by Phillip Schofield. ITV2 later ordered a full series which began in June 2014. Two years later, in 2016, ITV announced that the series had been picked up for a seven-part second series, which aired the summer of that same year.

After the tragic passing of his mother, Joey has been an ambassador for Child Bereavement UK since 2014. He also released a document with BBC Three in which he addressed his grief, called Joey Essex: Grief and Me, back in 2021, in a bid to relay his story and help others who are in similar positions, to speak up.

Being named on the Essex Power 100 List 2017, Joey's fourth place position amplified his popularity and placing within the celebrity world. Addressing topics that are often seen as taboo, such as his dyslexia, Joey's honesty has led to him being seen as a powerful and respectful voice across social media, making him someone to look up to for people with similar struggles.

Joey has a passion for men’s fashion, and this is certainly clear on his Instagram page. A feed filled with stylish snaps, Joey often posts photos of his favourite outfits and newest hairstyles. A keen traveller, Joey also shares photos from his rather luxurious holidays to destinations such as LA, Ibiza and Miami. Alongside his popular lifestyle uploads, Joey posts collaborations with well-known global brands from a range of industries, which tend to get high engagement from his large and loyal following.
