Celebs Go Dating EXCLUSIVE: Joey Essex details his ideal woman as he admits he's wants to be a DAD and settle down with the 'right person'

He previously joined the dating agency twice before in his pursuit of love.

And Joey Essex has returned to Celebs Go Dating for a third time, with the former TOWIE star admitting he's ready to become a dad and settle down with the 'right person'.

In an exclusive clip of Wednesday's episode, Joey, 30, detailed his ideal woman to dating agents Paul Brunson and Anna Williamson.

Sitting down with pair, Joey appeared deadly serious as he declared he's ready to start a new chapter in his life and have a family of his own. 

He said: 'I wanna settle down and have kids, that's sort of where I'm at, at the minute. I do want to settle down, I don't want to just...'

Paul then interjected: 'Really? So you want to be a dad?'

With Joey responding: 'Yeah I'd love to be a dad but I want to find the right person.'

Dating expert Paul then explained that in order for himself and Anna to help Joey, the TV star would have to give a 'breakdown' of what it is he 'thinks he needs' in a relationship.

Detailing his ideal woman, Joey then said: 'I need trust, I need loyalty,  I need... I would like her to be pretty. 

'Normally it's just that, all the other stuff doesn't really matter. Since turning 30, I know that's not what's going to make me happy, this is why I'm here for the third time.

With Anna then concluding: 'But this is why the agency, this time, is perfect for you.'

Joey's wishes comes after fellow Celebs Go Dating star Chloe Ferry recently admitted she's hoping to meet a man who looks exactly like him. 

The Geordie Shore star, 25, told how she likes guys with 'blue eyes' and 'lots of hair' and cited the former TOWIE hunk as someone she would like.

Speaking to Sophie Hermann on a previous episode, Chloe detailed what sort of man she is looking to meet on the series. 

Chloe said: 'Have you heard of a boy called Joey Essex?

Made In Chelsea star Sophie appeared unsure and replied: 'Is he from Essex?'

Chloe said: 'Yeah, I think so. I love that sort of look, blue eyes, a lot of hair. I don’t like dead muscley, like Hulk Hogan, I don’t like that. I don’t like dead skinny, I used to like dead skinny.'
