On 13 November 2013, it was announced that Essex had quit The Only Way Is Essex. Essex also appeared in the thirteenth series of I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! He was voted out on 6 December 2013 after 20 days in the jungle, finishing fourth behind Emmerdale star Lucy Pargeter, fashion designer David Emanuel and former Westlife singer Kian Egan. During his time on the show, Essex was close to Miss Universe Great Britain, Amy Willerton. Essex denied the rumours of the pair dating and confirmed they were just friends although he has since claimed they have kissed and slept together.
In March 2014, Essex starred in a one-off documentary called Educating Joey Essex, taking place in South Africa, narrated by Phillip Schofield. ITV2 later ordered a full series that began in June 2014. In 2016 ITV announced that the series has been picked up for a seven part second series, the series will air in the summer 2016 with the first episode titled "The Queen's 90th Birthday".

It was later confirmed that Essex would return to the show for its second series, in 2017; this time it was stated in his contract that he could not go on any dates with any other celebrities during filming.
