CURTIS Pritchard’s brother AJ has dismissed Amy as a “hotel holiday romance”.
The Strictly Come Dancing star admitted his brother “rushed things” with air stewardess Amy who confessed her love for Curtis before the split.
But his mum was more emotional about the relationship, as she teared up over her son’s “traumatic” break up.
AJ told This Morning: “Curtis is sometimes a bit too brutally honest.
“I think it was a bit of a hotel, holiday romance.
“When Amy was away in Casa Amor it gave him a chance to sit back and think. He thought maybe I’m not feeling the same amount of love.”
But he did admit he wasn’t impressed with how Curtis handled the break up.
“He could have let her down a bt more gently,” AJ added.
“He doesn’t process things. He just rushed it.”
His mum Debi appeared on the ITV show with him this morning and was left visibly upset after watching Curtis’ best bits so far.
“It’s really upsetting watching that. My heart’s going.
“Truly, there relationship was real. Every second was so real.
“They were in a bubble and then when that bubble burst because of Casa Amor, he was out of the bubble and stopped to think.
“He realised that Amy’s feelings were growing at a faster rate than his.”
Amy walked out of the villa following fears over her mental health.
She had secretly been having therapy to get over the split behind the scenes.
Despite the upset, Debi has praised her son for being honest about the relationship.
She said: “I was so proud of him because he knew on the inside and outside his popularity would decline by being honest that the relationship wasn’t working.
“He didn’t want to continue playing a game.
“Amy hadn’t been in a relationship before, and Curtis only had one with his dancer partner. They were both innocent of the pain of relationships.”
