His post-villa swift split from fan favourite Maura Higgins and his TV flops on the likes of Hollyoaks and Channel 4’s Stand-Up and Deliver only added to the cringe factor. The announcement that he was making his return to the ITV2 show for the All Stars series caused mass anticipation, if little hope, about whether his dating skills had improved.
But just days into the series and Curtis has proven everyone wrong, with viewers dubbing him 'the ultimate glow up'. Curtis Pritchard 's villa comeback has set off some unexpected feelings among Love Island viewers. Four years ago the dancer sasheyed onto Love Island but his cringe-worthy flirting, his lycra shorts, and his insistence on making coffee over cuddling gave viewers the ick.
First impressions are everything in the villa and Curtis ensured he was ready for five weeks of shirtless scenes with an incredible body transformation. He famously admitted that he gained two stone during his first stint on the show after enjoying too much late night cheesecake.
