Reality television favourite Joey Essex, known for his legendary wind-ups on The Only Way Is Essex, has discovered what happens when the prankster becomes the pranked.
The Tables Turn on TOWIE Star
In an unexpected twist that's sending shockwaves through the reality TV world, Essex's closest friends and co-stars have orchestrated an elaborate revenge plot that left the normally unflappable star completely stunned.
James 'Arg' Argent and Chloe Sims, both veterans of the iconic Essex reality series, masterminded the counter-prank that perfectly mirrored Essex's own signature style of mischief.
A Taste of His Own Medicine
The carefully planned retaliation saw Essex's inner circle execute their scheme with precision timing, creating a scenario that had the television personality questioning everything he thought he knew about his friendships.
"They really got me good," Essex admitted afterwards, showing surprising good humour about being outmanoeuvred. "I've been doing this for years, but they completely blindsided me."

The moment, captured for television audiences, represents everything fans love about unscripted entertainment:
- Genuine reactions from someone known for being in control
- Long-running friendships creating authentic drama
- The perfect payoff to years of prank warfare
- Unexpected vulnerability from a usually confident personality
This isn't just another reality TV moment—it's poetic justice playing out on screen, proving that even the most seasoned pranksters can fall victim to their own game.
What This Means for Essex's Future
The successful counter-prank raises questions about whether Essex will rethink his approach to television mischief. Having experienced the embarrassment of being on the receiving end, insiders suggest he might approach future wind-ups with renewed caution.
Meanwhile, Argent and Sims are reportedly revelling in their victory, having proven that nobody—not even Joey Essex—is immune to a well-executed practical joke.
