Kisses and cuddles: Sam Faiers and Joey Essex share a tender kiss as they enjoy a short break in Mallorca


They may not have been dating for very long, but Sam Faiers and Joey Essex looked every inch the loved-up couple on their Mallorcan break over the weekend.

The pair kissed and cuddled as they relaxed on the sandy beach and frolicked together in the Spanish surf.

And it was no wonder Joey couldn't keep his hands off his girlfriend, as she showed off her fantastic bikini body in a bright pink two-piece.

The pair enjoyed a ride on a pedalo boat, which came complete with a slide to splash into the water, with Sam taking huge delight in giving her boyfriend a soaking.

But it seems May might be a bit early to test the water in Mallorca, as Sam gritted her teeth when she edged her way into the cold sea.

Back on shore, Sam and Joey relaxed as they sunbathed and lathered each other up with suncream - pausing only to give each other a kiss.

Writing on her Twitter page yesterday, Sam tweeted: 'Been sunbathing all day ! Love the beach! Home tonight :-( x'

She then tweeted two pictures from the couple's short break, one of a heart in the sand containing both her and Joey's initials, and one of the pair grinning for the camera with their arms around one another.

Joey told his Twitter followers yesterday: 'Landed, wish I was still in spain! Was roasting this morning!!! :('

Sam and Joey started dating earlier this year and their relationship has so far been documented on the second series of the ITV2 show.

And while the pair looked more than a little loved-up as they relaxed on the beach, things haven't always gone as smoothly for the couple.

On their first date, Joey decided to take Sam on a little adventure, treating her to a tour of his favourite childhood haunts - including the local dump.

But Sam decided to put the unusual first date behind her and give Joey another chance, bestowing upon him the greatest honour when she took him as her date to ex-boyfriend Mark Wright's engagement party to Lauren Goodger.

The penultimate episode of the second series of the show, however, saw the couple's first argument after Sam refused to let Joey go with her to Marbella, insisting she wanted to go with her girlfriends.

However, asked recently how the relationship was going, Sam replied: 'We’re getting on great. He really makes me laugh.'
