Harry Styles' rumored ex-girlfriend Kendall Jenner has caught the eye of former 'The Only Way is Essex' star Joey Essex [VIDEO]

Former The Only Way is Essex star Joey Essex recently admitted to having a bit of a crush on 18-year-old Keeping Up with the Kardashians starlet Kendall Jenner. We know that Kendall fancies the British boys considering she reportedly dated One Direction's Harry Styles, so Joey might have a chance!

"I think Kendall Jenner's a proper sort," he revealed, also explaining that he has a bit of an "in" with the young model. "I'm actually good friends with Kendall's best mate Natalie 'Bad' Wood. Kendall always has these tattoos done and it's her who does them."

We've definitely seen these "tattoos" on Kendall's Instagram as of late, so it looks like this "in" could easily develop into a meeting for Joey.

Meanwhile, Joey opened up about his recent stint in Africa and his relationship with his TOWIE ex-girlfriend Sam Faiers.

"She'll always have a special place in my heart - I just care for her and want to be there for her as she's going through a bad time," the 23-year-old said of Faiers' recent Crohn's disease diagnosis.

He also spoke about Sam's romantic scenes on the television show.

"Obviously when I came out of the jungle and saw that, it wasn't nice for me to see but it doesn't make me see Sam in a different way," he explained. "We didn't really want to get too much into it as it wasn't something we were too bothered about. I was more concerned about how she was feeling as she was ill. The past is the past."
