TOWIE favourite Joey Essex has admitted that although he's in no position to announce a brand new romance at the moment, he's currently on the lookout for "the person I'm going to have kids with".
Catching up with OK! this week, the 32-year-old former reality star insisted: "I'll put it out there - I'm more single than I've ever been in my life. "But at the same time, I've been there and done that with having girlfriends and minor flings now.
