Meet the Celebrity Ex on the Beach 2020 cast: Ashley McKenzie to Michael Griffiths!
January 2020 is set to kick off the year nicely with some juicy reality TV on the horizon.
The first-ever winter series of Love Island, as well as the first-ever series of Celebrity Ex on the Beach, are two new seasons to look out for.
MTV’s Celebrity Ex on the Beach will see eight celebrity singletons reunited with their exes in sunny Marbella.
After breaking up some of the singles and exes haven’t seen each other since and the MTV show is set to reunite them, so we can expect fireworks – and we don’t mean in a good way!
So, let’s meet the Celebrity Ex on the Beach 2020 cast!
Joey Essex
Joey became something of a TV icon when he joined TOWIE at the age of 20. The then boyfriend of Essex legend Sam Faiers burst onto our screens and captured the nation’s attention.
Joey has gone on to star in many more reality TV shows and has a huge following on Instagram of 1.6 million (@joeyessex).
But when it comes to love, 29 year old Joey is a helpless romantic. And things seem to have lucked out with him and fellow cast member Lorena Medina – the two have been loved-up ever since filming Celebrity Ex on the Beach! We can’t wait to see it all unfold…
Michael Griffiths
Michael Griffiths made his reality TV debut in 2019, on the Love Island series 5.
The 27-year-old managed to make a bad name for himself on the show after publicly breaking his partner Amber Gill’s heart. Things worked out ok for Amber though, as she went on to win the entire series!
Michael is a straight-talker with an impressive CV and an equally impressive physique. He has a degree in biomedical science and previously worked as a firefighter. Follow Michael on Instagram where he has 1.2 million followers.

Lorena Medina
Also featuring in the drama-packed series of Ex on the Beach is Lorena Medina. She is a model and singer from Mexico.

She was working as a waitress when she got scouted for a modelling agency and is now represented by Elite Model Management Miami and No Ties Management.
Considering that Lorena is now Joey’s beau, we’re sure she’ll be popping up on our screens in Essex from time to time. She’s even been shown around Brentwood and met some of the cast!
Lateysha Grace
It was reality TV show The Valleys that propelled Lateysha Grace to fame in 2012.
Six years later Lateysha, 26, went on to star in her own MTV show – Million Dollar Baby – centred around raising a £1 million for her daughter Wynter.
Calum Best

Calum has appeared on 44 reality TV shows in his time including Love Island, Big Brother, MTV’s Totally Calum Best and more.
In 2017 Calum had a TV romance with Mob wives’ Marissa Jade. Their meeting on Celebrity Ex on the Beach will be the first time they’ve seen each other since they called things off!
Georgia Harrison
TOWIE and Love Island are two reality TV shows that Georgia Harrison can be recognised from.
She had a brief fling with Geordie lad Sam Gowland on Love Island series 3. Now, Georgia, 24, has become something of a model and social media influencer with around 900,000 followers on Insta.

Ellie Brown
