FLIRTY Joey Essex is at it again - charming a Real Housewife star 25 years older than him on live TV.
The 34-year-old expressed interested in Real Housewives of New York City's Luann de Lesseps, 59, after meeting on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen.
Watching from the audience, Joey waves to Luann after Andy revealed: "He was asking about you before the show."
Luann then encouraged Towie star Joey to come to see her star in Cabaret as they shared a flirting exchange.
According to Page Six, Joey and Luann continued the conversation off stage.
A source said: “After the show wrapped, Luann came over, and she and Joey exchanged information and followed each other on Instagram.
“After flirty nods throughout the show and encouragement from Andy, she said she’d love for him to come to the show!”
Luann told the US host she was "dating" as she was quizzed on her love life.
Andy then suggested she meet up with Joey after the show.
“Oh, the afterparty?", Luann asked, before joking: " Oh, twist my arm!”
Luann has previously been linked to Southern Hospitality star Joe Bradley and Mary Kate Olsen’s ex-husband Olivier Sarkozy.
Joey meanwhile is fresh out of a relationship with Love Island's Jessy Potts.
