JOEY Essex's family have hit back at Love Island trolls over arguments in the villa.
A total of 253 people have so far complained to Ofcom about Joey and Sean Stone's behaviour on the ITV2 show.
The lads have clashed with Mimii and her partner Josh a number of times over a "secret mission" set up by Mimii that failed.
Joey and Sean last night roasted the couple during The Talent Show in the garden, after bringing up the "secret mission" a number of times over the past week.
Viewers were also horrified by the way Joey has been speaking to his former flame in the villa, Grace.
Some fans even argued he was "bullying" the blonde bombshell after he continued to accuse her of still having feelings for him.
The drama has prompted Joey's famous cousin Chloe Sims to speak out on Instagram.
She shared the video of Joey rapping in The Talent Show, and wrote over the top: "And that's why he's the first non celeb to enter the villa.
"Seen a lot of trash talk online. Take notes. There's only one Joey Essex!"
Tonight Josh and Joey got into it again over Joey's "secret mission" to bring Ayo up to the terrace for a chat with Mimii.
