"He's a nice guy. Didn't give me negatives. Just a normal, friendly man trying to rule the world."

Joey Essex on David Cameron, who refused to meet him

"It's weird. He looks like a normal man, but he's a king. He's kind of royal family. Big house. Big gates. Always on TV.

"Just ten minutes of his time, that's all I wanted. Perhaps he wants all the others to look like idiots. Perhaps he thinks I"d really grill him. It's a big mistake."
