'Only Way Is Essex' star Joey Essex: 'Cheryl Cole is my dream woman'

Joey Essex has named Cheryl Cole as his "dream woman" while discussing what he looks for in a girl.

The Only Way is Essex star revealed that he prefers dating brunettes despite recently going out with blonde co-star Sam Faiers.

"My dream woman is Cheryl Cole," he told Now magazine. "
I like Audrina Patridge from The Hills, too.

"I normally like dark-haired girls, but I went out with Sam, who's blonde, so who knows? l like proper Essex girls. The first things I notice about a girl are her tan, her boobs and what she's wearing. I like girls who dress girly."

Essex added that of his few relationships, his one with Faiers was "the shortest".

"I've probably dated about 20 girls. But I've only had two or three proper relationships. My longest was a few years with 
a girl at school and my shortest was probably with Sam," he revealed.

"My best chat-up line is, 'l swear 
l know you from somewhere'. Even if I don't, it's a good way to start a conversation."

The Only Way Is Essex returns on September 25 at 10.15pm on ITV2. Catch-up episode Reem All About It airs on Wednesday at 10pm on ITV2.
