Quotes corner
Joey Essex: “I’m here to show that this is who I am. You know, I’ve tried to prove for years who I am. No one really knows how to take me. That’s that’s not my problem, that’s that’s their problem. I know who I am as a person but this journey will show to the people who don’t know who I really am. And if they still don’t know, then I don’t know what else to do anymore.”
Numeiro: “We always want to go for the knockout. That is what will make me look good, but I am just focused on winning and putting on a good show because I am not the most liked guy in Portugal. I am controversial, but I have heard Joey Essex has got some haters too. I know they will be cheering for me and that is some English audience I will be getting for myself and I would love that.”
