The world of reality television is one whereby crossover moments are often inevitable, and it seems that the new season of Netflix’s “Selling Sunset” is no exception to this rule. Fans were left curious by the surprise visit of British TV personality Joey Essex.
Joey Essex’s Cameo on ‘Selling Sunset
Fans of Selling Sunset were surprised when Joey Essex turned up as a potential buyer in season eight. Joey, famous for “The Only Way Is Essex,” searched a $5.25 million house in the Hollywood Hills. Oppenheim Group agent Chelsea Lazkani toured the luxurious home with him and emphasized that the property would be great for a bachelor looking to show off.
Flirtation with Emma Hernan
Another agent, Emma Hernan, arrived on the scene during the property tour. Joey lost interest in the house, turned to Emma, and started flirting with her, making some great lines that landed well, and even jumped into the pool for a swim, hoping she’d join. Emma stayed professional and did not return any of his advances despite his attempts.
Chelsea Lazkani’s Perspective
Later, Chelsea Lazkani, who brought Joey to the property, commented on the interaction. She added that Joey was very assured about women wanting him but stated Emma had turned him down. Chelsea, who has previously met Joey through her cousin Chloe Sims said Emma was “not looking for anything other than a friendship”.
Joey Essex’s Relationship Status
When this particular episode was filmed, Joey was single and just starting a new phase in his life out in Los Angeles. But then he went on to do “Love Island” and hit it off with Jessy Potts. He quickly moved on from his flirtation with Emma and started dating his “Selling Sunset” romantic target.
