"Being a gay person, you are more prepared for trolling because you are in the minority. I don't read the comments... my mum does. But Robbie and I are in this together, so we have got each other's backs."
The upcoming episodes will see Joel and Robbie, who are in a committed relationship, form a romantic connection with model Geronimo. One scene is set to show the couple kiss each other before welcoming Geronimo into a three-way moment.
Detailing how the romantic bond began, Joel described it as "very slow, very sweet, very communicative".
"It wasn't just about the sex but what it all meant to us," he continued.
