Since leaving the Love Island villa in fourth place alongside Irish beauty Maura Higgins, Curtis Pritchard has been in complete demand, landing jobs on both The Greatest Dancer and RuPaul's Drag Race UK.

As The Greatest Dancer cast, including Cheryl, Matthew Morrison, Alesha Dixon and Jordan Banjo all returned to work to film for series two, Curtis joined his new colleagues, including new dance captain Todrick Hall.

Posting a snap to his Instagram with hosts Alesha and Jordan, Curtis wrote, 'What a great time with these great people @jordbanjo @aleshaofficial ❤️'. sic

Britain's Got Talent judge Alesha was quick to comment on the snap, praising Curtis' work as the show's brand new receptionist.

Alesha wrote, 'You were amazing!', whilst Jordan added, 'You’re a G bro👊🏾'. sic

Curtis joined the show after his successful stint on Love Island over the summer. The 23-year-old will take over as the receptionist from Thames TV producer Amelia Wilson, whose job it was to greet the contestants before they went on stage.

Meanwhile, whilst Curtis is keeping himself busy post-Love Island, his other half Maura Higgins also seems to be in complete demand right now. As well as landing an agony aunt role on This Morning, it's being reported that Maura has also landed her own reality show.

A TV source has said, "She is great on screen so bosses want to create a platform where viewers can still get their fix.

"While her and Curtis are still together, no-one really knows what the future holds for them as a couple so producers are focusing on Maura."

TOMMY STOLE LUCIE FROM JOE

After surfer girl Lucie coupled up with Joe on the first episode of the series, things seemed to get off to a good start... before Tommy entered hours later.


Tommy chose to couple up with Lucie, stealing her from poor Joe. He said in the Beach Hut, "At the moment the girl I want to pursue is going to be Lucie. She's a surfer, she goes to the gym. Her body is banging. She has beautiful eyes, a beautiful face, beautiful everything."
