In an exclusive interview, Samantha said: Now he knows how I feel. But at least Jesse went on the deck to kiss Joey, but he did it on the couch in front of me and now he's had a taste of his own medicine.
Samantha explained: “I went to Love Island to meet Carpenter Kev, but here Joey Essex came in. “I haven't watched TOWIE in years, but when I was a teenager, I watched it for Gemma Collins. “It doesn't matter Joey, it's GC and Bobby Norris, they're iconic.” .
“Anyway, I know a couple of people from TOWIE, so I'm not saying 'OMG Joey Essex', it's OMG Joey's there because he was on the show.
“I wouldn't have batted an eyelid if I'd seen it one night, but it was because I was on Love Island, so it was very unexpected.”
Trolls claimed Samantha was only interested in Joey because of his celebrity status and mocked him online after he admitted being a TOWIE fan.
She added: “People said I was fame hungry and I was a Joey Essex fan… No I wasn't, I was a Gemma Collins fan growing up.”

Samantha said: 'I felt terrible… He gave me in four hours what I wanted in two weeks. It didn't look good, especially since I was there. It seemed to say don't forget about me, I'm still here.
“I'm a girl at the end of the day if we're out or on Love Island and it's not the best situation.”
Joey is the first celebrity to enter the Love Island villa as a contestant in the show's history, but Samantha believes producers shouldn't make it a regular occurrence.
She says Joey was treated differently to other Islanders because of her TV experience and believes employers “should normally give someone a chance.”
Samantha said: 'I'm not going to lie… I think we should keep Love Island as it was.
'I know they've brought in other islanders before, but even with some of the kids, you could tell Joey was different. I know it may not have been like that, but he's worked in television for 13-odd years and you can see the difference…'
