LOVE Island’s Curtis Pritchard has already bagged a job for when he leaves the villa – he’ll be playing Dick Whittington in panto.
Former Love Island star Kem Cetinay revealed the news on today’s This Morning.
Curtis finalised the deal before going on Love Island, but the news has been announced today.
He’ll be taking to the stage at the Wycombe Swan Theatre in High Wycombe.
Speaking before heading to the Love Island villa to compete in this year’s ITV2 show Curtis said “I’m so happy to be making my professional pantomime debut this year, and am delighted to be part of such an important part of so many families Christmases”.
The pantomime runs from Friday 13 December 2019 to Sunday 5 January 2020.
The professional ballroom dancer has been struggling to decide who he wants to be with between the two women and tonight decided he was going to sleep outside rather than with Francesca in their bed.
But instead of being honest and telling Francesca why, he instead made it sound like Maura had forced him to do it.
He told her: “Maura feels like we’re rubbing it in her face now I’m sleeping with you. So I’m sleeping outside. Talk to you tomorrow.”
But when the group were woken up in the morning Maura got to Curtis first and told him: “Thanks for sleeping out here.
“You really didn’t have to do it, it was nice of you.”
Viewers were furious at his behaviour and took to Twitter to slam him.
One wrote: “Hold on Curtis?? Maura said what? Men lie unprovoked #LoveIsland”
A second said: “Could Curtis not just tell Francesca he’s sleeping outside because it’s the right thing to do like he said to Maura? Bored of this boy now #loveisland”
Another added: “Curtis told Maura he will sleep on the day bed and she told him not to ???? he says it isn’t her decision to make ????? and tells Francesca it’s because Maura wants him to ?????? #LoveIsland”
A fourth said: “Excuse me Curtis you OFFERED to sleep on the day bed. Maura was defensive because of what Francesca said. She never asked #loveisland”
