Love Island's Curtis CONFIRMED for pantomime despite still being in villa
He's playing the role of Dick Whittington
He's causing quite a stir in the Love Island villa! After his head was turned during Casa Amor week, Curtis Pritchard broke Amy Hart's heart when he ended things, and now he's involved in a love triangle with Maura Higgins and Francesca Allen.
However, despite being saved by the public during Sunday night's dumping, it looks like Curtis is certainly going to be busy when he leaves the villa, as he's been confirmed to appear in a Dick Whittington pantomime at the end of the year.
Announcing the news on his Instagram page, Curtis' family revealed the dancer had confirmed his panto debut before entering the villa. The post reads, 'EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT* Curtis confirmed his pantomime debut in Qdos Productions ‘Dick Whittington’ at Wycombe Swan Theatre 🎭 before going into the Love Island villa. You can see Curtis performing between; Fri 13th December 2019 - Sun 5 January 2020, for tickets 🎫 visit: www.wycombeswan.co.uk @wycombeswan'. sic
By the looks of the comments section, Curtis is going to be extremely popular in the panto, with one fan writing, 'OMG CAN WE PLEASE I WANNA SEE CURTIS'. sic
Another added, ' Can we go to the PANTO PLEASEEEEE'. sic
Of course, Curtis is no stranger to being on stage. The 23-year-old is a ballroom dancer and appears on the Irish version of Dancing with the Stars, and his brother is Strictly Come Dancing favourite AJ Pritchard.
Meanwhile, back to Curtis' time in the Love Island villa, he's got a massive decision to make as he's currently involved in a love triangle with Maura and new girl Francesca.
Despite Maura making her feelings clear, Francesca chose to couple up with Curtis, but the 23-year-old made it known to both girls that he wanted to get to know them both. In the first look for tonight's show, Maura confronts Curtis about his decision.
Who will he pick?! 👀

What's your definition of girl code? This is really difficult because the island isn't a normal place, the real world is different. I don't know how close I can get to a girl in a few weeks. If a guy likes me, I'm there for love at the end of the day, not girls.
