Joey Thye's Australia Road Trip Sparks 9-Year Age Gap Romance Rumours? The "Mission Run" Star Sets the Record Straight on Her Latest Moves

For those of us who are glued to the telly, mentioning Joey Thye probably brings to mind her no-nonsense role in "Murder Diary" or the fierce, strategic character she played in "Mission Run". But this long-legged goddess has been keeping busy lately. Besides filming dramas, she's also joined the popular TVB reality show "The Self-Drive Tour", where she's been having a blast in Australia with Ricco Ng. And that's not all – she's also found herself at the centre of a rumoured 'age-gap romance', giving us viewers plenty to talk about!

Australia Adventures and Ricco Ng's Abs Steal the Show

This season of "The Self-Drive Tour" is truly more entertaining than a drama. Watching this group of young people drive around Australia, the scenery is great, but the real highlight is the people. The camerawork was quite 'cheeky', capturing all the best angles, from Joey's fantastic figure to Ricco Ng's incredibly toned abs. Speaking of Ricco, he was pretty open on the show, even revealing that he once dated a woman nine years his senior. This revelation got the whole group buzzing, with everyone's attention turning to him and Joey.

But our Joey was quick on her feet. Just when everyone thought something was going on between her and Ricco, she immediately cleared the air, laughing as she clarified that they're just good buddies. She said, "That's something from his past, what's it got to do with me?" She even let slip a secret about Ricco, revealing he's a bit of a "wine enthusiast" who was always looking for someone to have a drink with during their Australia trip. The whole group teased him about being a pro at winning over the cellar owners. It seems these on-screen partners are really close off-screen, not afraid to spill each other's funny stories.

From "From Hong Kong to Beijing" to "Mission Run", We've Watched Her Grow

Honestly, Joey isn't just great at variety shows; her acting has been consistently improving too. From her playful role in "From Hong Kong to Beijing" to her recent character in "Mission Run", audiences have truly watched her evolve from a fresh-faced singer into a leading actress. She's not the type who bursts onto the scene with instant acting prowess; instead, she's hardworking and eager to learn, showing growth with every appearance. It's this kind of journey that makes you want to keep watching her.

Fun fact: in an interview, she once told Jinny Ng that she's a firm believer in fate. She said life is like driving a car; sometimes you need to stop to see the best views. Seeing dolphins in Australia, for her, was a sign of good luck. This go-with-the-flow attitude might just be the reason she can maintain such a genuine personality in the complex world of showbiz.
