Now in a bid to find a long-lasting romance, Joey is back on the apps.
On his profile, Joey says he lives in the City of London and often visits Los Angeles.
He doesn’t reference his celebrity career, instead describing himself as being “Life, On Earth”.
In one picture he is standing underneath the sign, Avenue of Stars.
Joey’s famous exes include Sam Faiers over a decade ago and most recently a string of models.
He was also linked to his Dancing on Ice pro Vanessa Bauer, and even headed into the Love Island villa as a celebrity bombshell in a bid to find The One.
He left with Jessy Potts, but the pair broke up weeks later.
His Brazilian bikini model ex, Brenda Santos, said he was very demanding in the bedroom. She explained: “We would have sex every day. Sometimes we would do it many times a day, depending on the mood.
“He was giving and generous in bed. Joey said he loved my body, especially my ‘bum-bum’ as you say in Brazil.”
