The former 'The Only Way is Essex' star hasn't had much luck on the matchmaking show over the past two series but he's hoping that it will be third time lucky for him as he's desperate to sign up to the next instalment - but is waiting on the producers' approval.

A source told The Sun newspaper: "Joey is really keen to do the show again after proving a hit on the last series. He is keen to find Mrs Right and hopes that bosses consider him."

And the 26-year-old hunk isn't the only member of his family who is keen to find the love of his life through the dating show as his cousin Chloe Sims - who currently stars on 'TOWIE' - is hoping it will lead her to the man of her dreams who she can settle down with.

The insider added: "Chloe on the other hand is totally up for going on the show and trying her chances. Now is the time for her to find Mr Right and what better way than on 'Celebs Go Dating'."

And it looks like the pair may be joined on the next series by 'Geordie Shore's Marnie Simpson if she gets her own way as the brunette beauty is hoping to find someone to help her get over her ex-boyfriend Lewis Bloor.

She said recently: "It'd be amazing. But right now I'm a little bit of a man hater so they would have to let me go on some dates with girls too."

The 25-year-old bisexual reality star is feeling very hurt following the breakdown of her relationship with Lewis after he was unfaithful to her so thinks her next romance will be with another girl as she's less likely to get her feelings trampled on.

She explained: "If I ever get into another relationship, I'll probably go with a woman.

"I don't think I'd get hurt as much as I have done with men. Girls are much more understanding."
