How many times has Curtis Pritchard been on Love Island?
Curtis joined the cast of Love Island series five back in 2019 alongside fellow islanders Molly-Mae Hague, Tommy Fury, Amber Gill and Chris Taylor.
At the start of his Love Island journey Curtis quickly found a connection with Amy Hart and the two became inseparable during the first few weeks. However, things took a turn in Casa Amor when Curtis began to have doubt regarding their relationship and started to develop feelings for new girl Jourdan Riane.
While he ultimately decided to stay with Amy (as Jourdan shut him down), Curtis had to reveal the uncomfortable truth to this partner. After a series of rows the pair decided to call it quits and Amy eventually chose to leave the island to allow Curtis to develop his connections with the other girls.
Shortly after his split from Amy, Curtis began to grow closer to Maura Higgins, with the two bonding over his dancing skills. They quickly formed a relationship and ended up finishing the show in fourth place.
Following this, Curtis went on to appear on Love Island Games in 2023 and then also the second season of All Stars.
During his time in the South Africa villa, Curtis struck up a romance with Ekin-Su. The couple came third in the show overall, being beaten by Gabby Allen and Casey O'Gorman, and went on to have a relationship in the real world.
After three months together, they called it quits too. This makes Curtis's Love Island appearance his fourth.
What happened between Curtis Pritchard and Maura Higgins?
After leaving Love Island, Curtis and Maura decided to give their relationship a go on the outside world.
However in March 2020 Maura confirmed their split, writing on Instagram: "Curtis and I have made the decision to separate.
"We enjoyed a great experience from our time in the villa and want to thank everyone for supporting our relationship.
"There is no easy way to get through a break up and no bad feeling on either side. We tried to make it work but it wasn’t to be, and I wish Curtis nothing but the best for the future."
Speaking about their break-up, Curtis told The Sun at the time: "At the beginning of March we agreed to go our separate ways. It hurt.
"I wasn’t ready for everyone to know we had split up — I wanted some time. It was a shock to see that she had announced it on social media hours later."
Who has Curtis Pritchard dated in the past?
Following his time on Love Island, Curtis has had various romances. He obviously dated Ekin-Su in 2025 and was in a relationship with Sophie Sheridan before appearing on All Stars.
A source recently told The Sun: "Curtis split from Sophie a few months ago after the pair decided they were better off as friends. The romance had run its course and Curtis couldn't see the relationship going any further."
They added: "It came at the right time, as Love Island bosses were also desperate to get him back on the show for All Stars. When Curtis was approached by bosses, he jumped at the chance of returning."
