The nightclub promoter was attacked yesterday in Hammersmith, west London, by two men after he had his photo taken with them.
They threw him to the ground and ripped off his gold Rolex watch. One of the muggers pulled out a knife after he retaliated. Joey said: “I got a knock on my car window asking if I was Joey Essex and if I would have my picture taken.
“We did the picture and when I put some money in the parking ticket machine, the geezers got hold of me and threw me over.
“It wasn’t until I got up that I realised they had nicked my watch and when I hit one of them back, he got out a knife.” Joey believes he had been followed for some time as the robbers may have clocked his car which has featured on the ITV2 reality show.
A police spokesman said: “Officers from the Robbery Squad at Hammersmith and Fulham are investigating the incident.”
