Sam Faiers reckons Joey Essex has let fame gone to his head.
The 'Only Way is Essex' beauty believes the ITV2 reality show has caused her co-star and former boyfriend to change, along with the other male cast members.
She said: "He's not the Joey I used to know. I think fame has changed all the guys on the show, Charlie and Mario included."
The blonde babe called off her engagement to Joey in the summer after constant bickering drove a wedge between the pair, but she doesn't think they'll ever be able to rekindle their romance until he's grown up a bit more.
She added to OK! magazine: "His pride is getting in the way. He used to cry so much on screen, he now wants to prove to everybody that he's a man and not a cry baby. He's taken things too far now.
"I wouldn't rule out getting back with him when he's grown up a bit, but there won't be any overnight miracles now."
