AS LOVE Island star Curtis Pritchard heads into the All Stars villa, he has found himself embroiled in a feud.
The pro-ballroom dancer, 28, is part of the legends line-up taking part in All Stars season 2.
The Islander, who first found fame on Love Island in 2019, has arrived in South Africa ahead of the launch on Monday.
However, Curtis signing up for All Stars took many fans by surprise.
This was because, fans thought he was in a happy relationship with Sophie Sheridan.
However, The Sun exclusively revealed how they secretly broke up before joining the Love Island All Stars cast.
A source said: “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.
“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.
“He’s newly-single and loves being on telly, so getting the chance to be back in the villa and to find love again was a no brainer.
“He loved doing Love Island first time around and now that he’s single it’s come at a great time for him.”
Curtis has now found himself in a feud with his ex-Sophie after she deleted any trace of him from Instagram.
She has also taken the step to unfollow him, despite him still following her, and his brother AJ Pritchard doing the same.
The pair seemed loved-up until only a few months ago, with plenty of smitten selfies, which have now vanished from both their grids.
Meanwhile, last week The Sun revealed how Curtis’ ex-girlfriend Maura Higgins, who he met in the villa in 2019, is worried he’ll spill the beans on their eight month romance.
Maura is now seeing Strictly Come Dancing‘s Pete Wicks and spent the Christmas period with him in Ireland.
An insider said: “Her break-up with Curtis wasn’t the best and Maura always worried he’d be the ex that could blab.
“It’s also less than ideal when she’s hoping to build on her I’m A Celebrity profile and advance her career.”
Love Island: All Stars launches in Cape Town, South Africa, on Monday, January 13.
Love Island All Stars is returning to TV for season 2.
