Curtis spoke out about Emily before heading to Love Island, saying, "My ex-girlfriend was my dance partner. We danced with each other from when we were twelve until we were fourteen, we were the champions. When we got older, we both ended up doing Dancing with the Stars in Ireland and got into a relationship.

"You spend a lot of time with each other when you’re dancing together. You’re always in a close proximity so it would be weird not to get feelings even if it’s just to be a best friend or if it’s to fall in love."

His celebrity partner Holly Carpenter revealed that the pair were both single, saying, "I’m so glad that we are single doing this because I’d hate if I had a boyfriend and there were rumours that I was flirting with him. I’m actually really happy we both won’t have to worry about that."

Curtis also revealed a little about his dating history, admitting he's NEVER been on any dating apps! "I have lived a very sheltered life because of my dancing, I’ve not done a lot of going out partying, going on dates because I haven’t had time to. Being truthful I’ve probably been on less than ten dates, maybe five dates.

"I have never met anyone online, I’ve never used a dating app. I’ve met everyone in person, which I think is better. All of this meeting people on social media and apps is fake. People portray their life how they want it to be and it isn’t how they truly are. I like to meet people in real life."

What happened with Curtis and AJ Pritchard's attack?

AJ and Curtis were enjoying a Boxing Day night out at Nantwich club Nakatcha when they were the victims of an "unprovoked attack" in the early hours of 28th December 2018. Curtis was forced to undergo an emergency operation to correct damages and AJ had bruising to his face, arms, body and legs.

A spokesman for the brothers told Mirror Online, "AJ and Curtis were assaulted whilst on a night out with two friends on the 27 December 2018 in an unprovoked attack in Nantwich, Cheshire.

"Curtis is due to undergo an emergency operation in the next few days to correct the damages he has sustained to his knee, he is also recovering from injuries to his eye and face. AJ received bruising to his face, arms, body and legs. Statements have been given to Cheshire Police and they are currently undergoing an investigation."

Unsurprisingly, this reportedly left AJ "afraid to leave the house", and AJ then revealed exactly what happened in an interview on New Year's Eve, "Curtis risked his own dancing career to save mine as he threw himself in front of the attackers so they couldn’t get to me.

"He was thinking of both my dancing career with my legs and my TV career with my face. He tried to protect me and in doing so saved my life and my legs from danger. I soon realised there were no winners in this scenario. I just wanted us both to come out alive. I care more about Curtis than I do about selfies and looking good."

Curtis added, "It could have been fatal" before explaining, "There were about eight lads on two of us and we’re not fighters. We’re not there for a fight. We don’t want to cause trouble.

"We were just minding our own business, then all of a sudden there was a load of lads around us. I just felt a hard, violent push on my left side, as if someone had lunged at me, and that’s when it all kicked off."

The brothers then appeared on This Morning on 2nd January 2019, and Curtis explained what they thought made the culprits attack, "I can only say it was maybe jealousy. AJ was getting photos from people," as AJ agreed, "Doing our TV show, Strictly, it's always so positive. It's never a negative light. The sad thing in this case - if someone comes up for a photo politely I will always say 'yes'.

"It made me very self aware of putting myself in a scenario with larger crowds. I'm doing with tour with Strictly. It will make me think twice."
