Joey Essex slapped with £300,000 tax bill after arriving home from Love Island villa

JOEY Essex has a near £300,000 tax bill and must return a £30,000 Covid Bounce Back Loan, documents show.

The Sun told in July how the star was facing a potential court battle after his performing arts company, Joey Essex Management, was served with a winding up petition.

After arriving home from the Love Island villa Joey, 33, opted to voluntarily close the firm.
