Joey Essex is reportedly head over heels for a girl he met while on holiday in Dubai.
The former TOWIE star is said to have “high hopes” that Dubai-based Reem Mesha will become his girlfriend.
According to reports, Joey describes everything he likes as “reem” so therefore couldn’t believe that her name was Reem.
“Joey couldn’t believe she’s called Reem – he even asked her if she could show him her passport to prove it,” a source revealed.
“He wasn’t looking for love when he flew out to Dubai, but Reem really took his fancy, not just because of her name.
“They get on really well and Joey has high hopes. He thinks it could be fate,” the source continued.
“He’s hoping to make plenty more visits to Dubai to see Reem.”
Joey is also well-known for having been engaged to former co-star Sam Faiers in the past.
