screaming

JOEY Essex’s most explosive TOWIE brawl has resurfaced 14 years on as he prepares to step back into the boxing ring.

Back in 2012, the reality star was filmed grappling with co-star Ricky Rayment in the street as their castmates screamed for them to stop.

Footage of the showdown has recently gone viral, with one fan posting it alongside the words: “The moment Joey Essex lost his head on TV.”

The row erupted at the relaunch of Lauren Goodger’s salon after Joey became convinced Ricky had been talking about him behind his back.

Confronting his co-star, Joey snapped: “You’re chatting s**t behind my back mate.”

Ricky insisted he had been “off his nut” and tried to apologise, but the argument continued.

Joey’s sister Frankie Essex stepped in, only for Ricky to tell her: “No one’s talking about you and no one ever will talk about you.”

The pair then headed outside, where cameras caught them grappling and throwing punches as the women shouted for them to stop.

The fan who shared the clip wrote: “This was crazy.”

Another commented: “Even celebs who are meant to be cut crease perfect lose their cool sometimes.”

A third said: “I’ve never seen this before. Respect to Joey for sticking up for his relatives.”

The explosive showdown can still be watched on ITVX in series four, episode nine of The Only Way Is Essex.

It comes as Joey, 36, is now preparing to headline a Misfits Boxing show against controversial comic Dapper Laughs, whose real name is Daniel O’Reilly.

The pair will meet at London’s Copper Box Arena on Saturday, October 10.

It will be Joey’s second bout for Misfits after he beat Portuguese influencer Numeiro on points in Manchester last August.

Misfits have confirmed that Joey has three fights planned with the promotion, making the Dapper Laughs clash the next step in his boxing run.

Only Connect viewers were left ‘screaming’ at their televisions over the ‘obvious’ answer on Monday’s show

Only Connect viewers were all quick to say the same thing after the latest episode.

On Monday’s show, hosted by Victoria Coren Mitchell, viewers were introduced to the two teams, comprising of Culture Club and Ad Astra. It comes as BBC viewers have been left delighted over quiz Mondays with Only Connect followed by University Challenge.

Making up Culture Club were Charlie Brookfield, a consultant microbiologist, Viki Owen, a clinical scientist, and their captain, Hugh Adler, a consultant microbiologist.

Meanwhile, making up Ad Astra were David Howes, a retired RAF officer, Paul McMillan, an astrophysics lecturer, and their captain, Louise McMillan, a research development officer.

During the Connecting Wall challenge, Ad Astra were left stumped by one of the connections. The trio had difficulty with finding the final word in a group of anagrams for different types of starches and carbohydrates.

They were able to successfully find – top oat – potato, tapas – pasta, and eric – rice. Yet they struggled to find the final word to complete the connection, asking in frustration: “What are we missing?”

However, viewers at home were left ‘screaming’ at their televisions over the correct final word, which was beard – bread.

Taking to Twitter, now X, one person said: “I AM SCREAMING BREAD #onlyconnect” while a different account put: “#OnlyConnect Shouting BEARD IS BREAD!! over and over at my TV.”

Another viewer wrote: “Shouting BREAD repeatedly at the TV. #onlyconnect” while a different show watcher commented: “Only #onlyconnect has me shouting “Bread” at the TV.”

Elsewhere, a different fan put: “BREAD #ONLYCONNECT”, another viewer joked: “Shouting Bread at the screen like a lunatic ffs #onlyconnect” while a different viewer added: “Bread! F**king Bread #OnlyConnect.”

Meanwhile, another show watcher joked: “I don’t think I’ve ever said bread and beard so many times in succession in my life #onlyconnect” while a different viewer added: “How many people were shouting BREAD?? #onlyconnect.”
