Joey Essex flashes his six-pack as he’s spotted getting close to ‘mini-Kim Kardashian’ Durrani Popal in Santa Monica

JOEY Essex has been spotted getting close to another reality star beauty during his recent trip to California.

The former TOWIE star was pictured hugging Dash Dolls star Durrani Popal during a day out in Santa Monica.

Joey was dressed to impress the E! star as he flashed his six pack by leaving his shirt unbuttoned.

He teamed the striped shirt with white shorts and black sunglasses as he hopped out of his fancy Ferrari.
Durrani opted to show off her lean legs in distressed denim hotpants which she teamed with a white bodysuit and a check shirt.

She accessorised with black sandals and stylish sunglasses while her dark long locks were in a sleek straight style.

Durrani was joined by her adorable pooch as she greeted Joey with a warm hug.

The duo were seen chatting away in front of Joey’s car and began to make their way to the next location while he took a call on his phone.

Keeping Up With The Kardashian fans will recognise Durrani from Kourtney & Khloe Take The Hampston as well as spin off show Dash Dolls.

Joey recently spoke to The Sun about his love life as he admitted: “I’m talking to a few girls, but no one serious,” he says.

“The girls I’m talking to know I don’t want a girlfriend, I’ve told them that. I haven’t got time to have a girlfriend, it’s too much commitment, man, it’s like a job.

He added: “I think I might go after [singer] Ariana Grande, though, there’s no such thing as aiming too high.”
