Love Island bombshell Natalia Campos was 'ghosted' by Joey Essex after flirty texts

Love Island 2022 star Natalia Campos has revealed that she was 'ghosted' by none other than Joey Essex.

After making her debut on the ITV2 dating show late in the season this summer, Natalia caught the attention of several famous faces who tuned in to see what lucky boy she would couple-up with in the villa.

After having no luck when it came to finding the right match while in the famous villa, Natalia found that she had much more success on the outside when she returned back to the UK after her brief stint on the popular reality TV show.

Lifting the lid on her current relationship status, Natalia admitted that she is now living the single life - but for a brief period, she was exchanging flirty texts with former TOWIE star, Joey Essex.

Th brunette beauty found that her DM's were full after exiting the villa, and it was mainly well-known footballers who had slid into her messages.

"Mine have been footballers - but I'm going to keep their names to myself," she told.

However, Joey was also keen on taking Natalia on a date, but it never came to fruition after the reality TV icon ghosted her after asking her out.

"He messaged me after we were at the same festival together, and we were just meant to go out and then it just disappeared," she told The Sun.

"I ghosted him first and then he messaged me on Whatsapp and then he never let me know about the date.

"There are no bad feelings, I've got other people now. I've been on a few dates lately and it's been promising."
