The 34-year-old fell head over heels for Jess, 25, on the ITV2 hit dating show this summer.

Now, the pair have already discussed starting a family and Joey admitted that he plans on having eight children.

Joey told OK!: “We’ve already spoken about kids.

“We both want a big family. But we’re having a bit of a tiff at the moment. She wants four, I want eight. Imagine how great that would be?”

Chiming in, Jessy said: “Oh, my God, eight!? Joey would make a great dad, though, there’s no doubt about that,” to which Joey added: “And Jessy would be an amazing mum.

“We’d be such good parents. I’m ready. I’d do it tomorrow. Maybe even tonight!”

They were also quizzed on what they like most about each other.

About Joey, smitten Jessy said: “He’s very cheeky. He wears his heart on his sleeve and he’s always got my best interests at heart.”

And about Jessy, her new man said: “I like that she’s not a ‘yes’ girl. She tells me how it is. She’ll tell me when I’m right or wrong. Jessy is with me for real reasons. And I’m very wise on that.

“I can really tell when I’ve met a girl and all she cares about is fame, followers and everything else that comes with who I am. I know Jessy’s not about that. She’s actually with me for me.”

The duo fell short of making this year’s Love Island final after being eliminated during a shock show twist.

Love Island producers welcomed back all previous islanders from the season, many of whom had quarrels or issues with Joey.

The dumped islanders were asked to vote one couple out and due to many having issues with Joey’s behavior, his couple received the most votes, sending Joey and Jessy packing.

During a recent interview with The Sun, Joey admitted that he did feel like a producer plant during his time on the show.

Joey told us: “We’re all there to find love but there needs to be a journey, there needs to be drama – so, you know, I had to be that guy.

“I’d switch it on. I’d do my scene. If I was involved in someone else’s stuff it’s because I’ve been pulled in and dragged into that situation.

“I’ve just done what I’ve done because I’m filming a television show.”

Questioned about if he was the producers’ man on the ground, Joey told us: “I was put in a situation where I had to do what I had to do. Do you know what I mean? I’m there for a reason. I’m in Love Island to entertain.

“I didn’t really have much time off… I was very, very busy, active.

“I mean, do your readers actually think that I would go up to a girl in a challenge and kiss her in front of her boyfriend, whilst the girl that I actually have feelings for is stood next to her?”
