CURTIS Pritchard has only spoken to Cheryl Tweedy for “10 minutes” despite them filming The Greatest Dancer together.
The former Love Islander, 23, joined the latest series as the receptionist who welcomes acts before they go on stage.
But he confessed that he’d barely seen popstar Cheryl, who is a ‘dance captain’ on the show.
He told new magazine: “I only spoke to Cheryl for around 10 minutes, because my reception area was away from those guys.”
The Sun Online caught their brief encounter last month when fans thought they saw Cheryl flirting with Maura Higgins’ boyfriend.
Cheryl, 36, popped backstage during the launch show to say hello to some of the hopefuls and strike up some banter with the professional ballroom dancer.
As she walked into the reception area in her animal print minidress, he said: “You look absolutely fantastic.”
The star replied with a glint in her eye: “Thanks babes.”
She even teased him about his appearance on last year’s Love Island by jokingly asking if he’d got a text.
And he told Cheryl she could “do anything” after she promised to stop teasing him about the show.
Fans said the chemistry was off the charts between the flirty pair and it sent them wild.
One wrote: “Someone call Maura tell Cheryl to stop flirting with Curtis.”
A second said: “Did Cheryl really go to see Curtis to tell him, ‘Got a text!’? love her #GreatestDancer”
Curtis took over from Amelia Wilson as the receptionist.
Like her, his laptop always looks like it’s off.
Viewers noticed that while Curtis is sat behind a desk with a laptop – it’s got a completely blank screen, as one pointed out: “Just seen Curtis’ computer ain’t even on.”
