Joey Essex shows off his time-telling skills on This Morning... as he admits he's taking things slowly with Amy Willerton



He said he came out of the jungle 'a man', so it's little wonder that I'm A Celebrity star, Joey Essex, was eager to show off his new grown-up skill on This Morning - telling the time. 
Holly Willoughby offered Joey her watch to look at as his rumoured £70,000 Rolex wasn't correct and after a little deliberation, Joey correctly said that it was in fact 'twenty minutes past twelve'.
He seemed thrilled with himself and said afterwards: 'I've actually learned something. The jungle is like school, honestly - I've never learned so much in my life!'

The 23-year-old wore a burgundy velvet sweatshirt for his chat with presenters Holly and Philip Schofield, which he teamed with a long silver necklace.

He also wore dark grey skinny jeans with bold yellow and black trainers. 
And Joey had finally managed to get that haircut after moaning that it had got out of control after spending three weeks in the jungle.

His time-telling wasn't the only thing discussed on the show and Holly and Phil grilled the TOWIE star about his blossoming 'romance' with camp mate Amy Willerton. 
They've been the talk of the town after flirting up a storm in the Australian jungle, but Joey Essex wasn't giving too much away.
At one point he said: 'Are we an item? No, we are just close friends,' but then he clammed up when asked if they had shared a kiss.

But it's clear that Joey doesn't want to rush into anything with Amy, who he calls a 'genuine girl.'
When Phillip and Holly pushed further about the kiss, Joey laughed before saying, 'We are just really really close.
'When we were both in the jungle we were really close as friends but because there was cameras there and stuff and we wanted to get to know each other a bit more when we come out...'

But their relationship is not completely platonic as Joey let slip that he is planning on taking the stunning girl out on a proper date.
He said: 'And yes, we saw each other last night [at The Sun's Military Awards] and we had a chat but went our separate ways. We're meeting up tonight... Is it a date? 
'Some people said I took her on a date to McDonald's the other day but I didn't, we were just having a burger together. We haven't actually had a proper proper date together yet, so I'm looking forward to that.'
Ping! Joey flashed his pearly whites at the cameras as well as his brand new hair cut

He may or may not be able to tell the time, but Joey Essex sure can pick a statement sweater. And now that he's back from the I'm A Celebrity jungle, he seems to be feeling the need to cosy up against the cold, which he did in this textured top on This Morning.
We're actually well jel that this one isn't for us ladies - although it is available in sizes starting from XS, so maybe we could pull it off too. But if you're looking for a Christmas present for the dapper chap in your life, call off the search now.
Joey certainly can pull it off, particularly in this port coloured hue, which is making us feel rather festive. A super sharp alternative to a novelty knit, this one is available now at American Apparel - just click the link (right). It's available in six other colours too, so you're bound to find your perfect match.
Velour conjures images of tracksuits from the early noughties that we'd rather forget, but it has been given a new lease of life this season, and we can't get enough. So whether you're velour virgin or a seasoned pro, join Joey now. Topman's version tops our list of similar sweaters, or try the trend in a velvet bomber jacket at Asos (below).
