History appears to be repeating itself in the Love Island villa

During his date, Joey made it crystal clear that he doesn’t believe he and Grace are “closed off” and he told Jessy that they could be “trouble” together.

Jessy told Grace what he had said once she had made her entrance in the villa – and she was fuming.

But as she pulled her man aside and took him to task, Joey made viewers gasp with three words.

He told Grace that “nothing had changed” between them, as she desperately tried to make him see that he has done a U-turn.

Eagle-eyed viewers spotted that Joey used the exact same three words to Samantha Kenny before he binned her off for Grace.

Writing on X, formerly known as Twitter, one angry fan said: “Joey told Sam that nothing has changed too.. He is actually unhinged.”

Another added: “Joey pulling out the ‘nothings changed’ line once again, history repeating itself.”

A third angry viewer wrote: “‘Nothing has changed’ Joey is a piece of s***”

And someone else raged: “Joey literally using the same line he used on Samantha to Grace, ‘Nothing’s changed, my feelings not changed with you, I owe it to myself to explore connection’ Such a neek man.”

Joey wheeled out his favourite line after he and Grace had a private chat following his date with Jessy.

He told Grace: “Nothing has changed, nothing’s changed.

“I don’t know whether it’s a friendship thing or not, she’s a really nice girl. I can’t deny that. But I still have feelings for you.

“My feelings have not changed at all towards you.

“I still care about you, I still want to get to know you more. We haven’t really got deep, proper deep with each other.”

Grace, however, did not fall for it and warned Joey that she has no intention of being part of “some s****y little triangle”.

She also pulled Joey up for his argument with now-dumped islander Omar Nyame. Joey squared up to Omar after he made several flirty comments to her.

“I am so shocked, I have no words for you. I don’t know what to say to you right now,” she blasted.

“I am so disappointed in you, Joey. I actually don’t know what to say.”

Repeating it again, Joey told Grace: “Nothing has changed. I literally had a chat with a girl.”

But Grace replied: “Everything’s changed. Everything’s changed now.”
