Joey Essex's ex praises TOWIE star's huge 'intelligence' and sex drive
Joey Essex’s romance with Brazilian beauty Brenda Santos may have ended months ago but the bikini model has nothing but high praise for the reality star – gushing over his love making skills and the size of his intelligence.
The 21-year-old beauty was romantically linked to 30-year-old Joey between May and October last year – and the fleeting romance has clearly left a big impression on the young model.
Brenda claims Joey is hiding secret intelligence – after the TOWIE star made himself a household name thanks to brainless comments he made on reality TV shows such as claiming he can’t tell the time or claiming squares have six sides.
But acting like a simpleton is all for show, Brenda claims.

She told The Sun on Sunday: “Joey is very clever. He pretends to be silly, it’s his job.
“When you talk to him and you get to know him, he’s very intelligent. He is also very business minded. That’s one of things I liked about him.”
Indeed, Joey is said to be worth an estimated £6 million having built up an empire since first bursting onto the celebrity scene as a cast member of The Only Way Is Essex in 2011.

Reflecting on her short romance with Joey, Brenda also gushed about his love making skills – which are even more impressive than his conversational skills, by her account.
She gushed: “We would have sex every day. Sometimes we would do it many times a day, depending on the mood.
“He was giving and generous in bed. Joey said he loved my body, especially my ‘bum-bum’ as you say in Brazil.
“It was intense and memorable. He’s a very passionate person, like myself.”
Joey and Brenda are believed to have plunged into the deep end with their romance – coupling up during the first Covid lockdown in the UK at the beginning of 2020.
The pair splashed loved-up snaps of themselves together all over social media, but the romance cooled like the seasons and come autumn, it was all over – with Joey erasing all trace of Brenda from his Instagram account by October.
A source said of the break-up: “Joey was smitten with Brenda and it was a classic whirlwind romance between them.

“He even whisked her off on a romantic break to Ibiza. They made a lovely couple and she was the main attraction at his 30th birthday party in July, where she met all of his friends and family.
“But spending so much time together took its toll and they both admitted they needed space.”
The pair were said to have “no bad feelings” towards each other – a classic response to a celebrity split which, in this case, may be accurate as demonstrated by Brenda’s continued high praise for the Essex boy three-months after they broke up.
