Joey Essex won’t be getting coronavirus. Nope, not on his watch.
The former TOWIE star isn’t taking any chances when it comes to catching the flu-like virus, that is currently spreading across the globe, and it looks like he’s invested in some protective gear.
Joey was seen heading out to buy snacks with one of his pals and decided to wear a mask across his face and gloves for his food haul.
He was seen battling with his new equipment inside the store, before removing it so he could chow down on his chosen goods.
Joey, who was dressed in tracksuit bottoms and a plain white t-shirt, made the mask part of his outfit, adding a hoodie, gold chains and a baseball cap.
May as well make it fashion, no?
He isn’t the only celebrity who’s been seen taking precautions and prioritising their health, as his fellow Essex star Megan McKenna donned a mask while flying into London Heathrow recently.
The X Factor: Celebrity winner had been in the US to record new music and debut her material to her new boss Simon Cowell.
Gwyneth Paltrow was also seen rocking a mask amid all the coronavirus panic in recent weeks and Charlotte Crosby decided to one up your standard surgical mask and had masks personalised for a friend’s hen do.
Although, it was argued on a recent episode of This Morning that wearing masks is actually pointless.
Explaining why, Dr Simon Clarke said on the show: ‘The pores and the fibres in them are too big for the virus.
‘The virus is smaller than the wavelength of light, they will just pass straight through them, they will infect you by your eyes potentially.’
It was advised that the best way to avoid catching or spreading germs is similar to how most people avoid catching the common cold.
NHS suggests covering your mouth and nose with your sleeve (or a tissue) when you cough or sneeze, put used tissues in the bin immediately, wash hands with soap and water often, use hand sanitiser and avoid close contact with unwell people.
Fans, meanwhile, will have seen Joey on the latest series of MTV reality show Ex On The Beach.
He joined a bunch of celebs including Calum Best and Love Island’s Michael Griffiths on the show, where he’s struck up a romance with Playboy model Lorena Medina.
