Curtis Pritchard is currently on Love Island: All Stars, and seemed to be happily coupled up with Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu until bombshell Danielle Sellers came along and caught his eye. Just months before the Casa Amor drama, however, he was dating performer Sophie Sheridan, who claims they were discussing marriage before he dropped her to go on the ITV show due to an “obsession with fame.”. Sophie and Curtis reportedly met at a panto of Cinderella in Wolverhampton in 2021, and started dating the following year. While Sophie said they’d been together for nearly three years before the split, Curtis told Maya Jama and the other islanders his last romance ended “about four months ago for me. It was kind of new but I just knew it wasn't right and if you know that then it sort of, I had to just end it.”.
Curtis went on Love Island Games in 2023, and Sophie claimed that Curtis “pressured” her to pretend that they were broken up so that he could make money on the show for their future together. She added to The Sun that she had "psychological trauma” after he finished his time on the show. The performer said that even beyond his TV stint as a single man, he wanted her to keep their relationship “under wraps” and stopped her from flaunting their relationship on social media or in the public eye.
Sophie described how after a trip away he had “convenient timing” to dump her with the offer of a place on All Stars and that they’ve had no contact since the sudden split in October - and that she was only speaking out now because of how “disrespectful” he was to her. “We’d spoken about the future, about getting married and having kids, but then suddenly it was over,” she said, adding that considering how cut up she was about Curtis being on Love Island Games, he knew it was either her or All Stars this time around.
“He knew I wouldn’t fake another break-up. I need to stand up for myself and actually tell the truth because I’ve just been a doormat for nearly three years,” she shared. Sophie also said that Curtis had spoken about his Love Island tactics with her in the past, and knew his “game plan” because he’d already plotted out which moves would make the best TV. “For Curtis, going on All Stars is motivated by money and boosting his career. He wants to be a millionaire by the time he’s 30 and is obsessed with fame. He loves people knowing who he is, and he also wants the money that comes with that,” she slammed.
After claiming that Curtis wasn’t happy in himself and so focused on fame and money to fill the void instead, she suggested that other people might be starting to see him the way she does now. “He’s acting like the good guy, but as we’ve all seen in the past - he’s not that good an actor. And his fans are beginning to see through it,” she concluded. Like this story?
