Joey Essex can’t get a date because he’s TOO famous

WTF

Joey Essex Date

Joey Essex is ON the market, everyone.

He's been single since October, when he split from his Celebs Go Dating co-star Stephanie Pratt.

Yes that was a thing. And we've got the STEAMY pictures to prove it.

The famous couple met on the dating show which also starred Charlotte Crosby, but called it quits because of the time they were spending apart.

GUTTED. We were rooting for them!

After the split, Steph and Joey haven't kept in touch: "She's still cool, I'm still cool, but I moved on as soon as I left it really."

So what's been happening since then? Does Joey have a new girlfriend? CAN WE DATE HIM?

The answer is… if you can handle it.

Joey told us he's very much single, but that his fame puts girls off dating him.

Sorry, WHAT? Being a celebrity makes girls NOT want to date him?

Joey spilled: "There have been a few girls who basically said 'I don't want to do that', or they [date me] and they don't like it. But they know what they're getting themselves into".

Awks.

When he DOES get a date, Joey says it's difficult to find somewhere to go and not be papped:

"I always go somewhere where there's no camera, and ask to sit in the corner of restaurants. We have to be undercover."

Don't worry Joey, we don’t mind a table in the corner!

Joey might be single for now (and getting a bit bored of it), but he's not lonely: "I think Laura Whitmore fancies me a bit. I'd be off the market for her".
