Joey had told the islanders that he had carried out a 'secret mission' to help get Ayo Odukoya onto the terrace to chat to him.
He and Sean Stone have continued to talk about it ever since, even poking fun at the awkward situation during this week's talent show.
But suddenly, during the latest instalment of the ITV2 series, Joey apologised to Josh.
The boys then decided to bury the hatchet and finally quash their feud once and for all.

Fans, however, refuse to believe their chat was genuine and think that Love Island bosses played a part.
Sharing their thoughts on X, formerly known as Twitter, one fan posted: "Producers told joey he has to apologise to both mimii and josh."
Another added: "Joey to Josh after the producers told him about all them OFCOM complaints."
A third wrote: "The producers are taking the piss. This sit down with Joey & Josh is clearly their idea…"

Someone else even claimed: "I think it’s cute that people believe that they have an influence over this show. Joey and Josh discussed this whole script with the producers."
Tensions rose on Tuesday night when Joey performed a 'rap' in the Love Island talent show.

He chanted the words "secret mission" and it just caused Josh and Mimii's tempers to flare.
Things then reached fever pitch on Wednesday during a challenge called A Couple Of Sorts. Joey and Sean once again publicly questioned Josh and Mimii's relationship.
Mimii refused point blank to even speak to Joey afterwards.
Twenty four hours later, however, Joey and Josh suddenly went for a chat and 'cleared the air'.
Joey said to Josh: "I just want to clear the air with you now, finally. I feel like after yesterday...man to man."
Josh told him: "I was never trying to go for you, bro. I was only responding to what I thought you said in the challenge.
"I felt like every single challenge, you've come for our situation."
