Joey Essex and James Argent have revealed their holiday hell at the hands of the devastation in flood-stricken Dubai.
The former TOWIE stars, aged 33 and 36 respectively, appeared on Good Morning Britain on Thursday to shed light on how they are being affected by the terrifying weather alerts in the United Arab Emirates.
After jetting to Dubai to visit their friend and former co-star Tom Pearce, the duo revealed they awoke to Joey's room flooding while he was shooting content, leading to James being forced to crawl on his hands and knees to save furniture.
This week, Dubai fell victim to the heaviest rain ever recorded in the desert nation. More than 140 mm of rain soaked Dubai on Tuesday, almost as much as what falls there in a year-and-a-half leading to a host of stars sharing pictures of the damage.
Arg revealed the duo are set to fly back on Saturday and he 'cannot wait' to get on the plane, while Joey claimed he had no awareness of government warnings.
