The Love Island machine is a wild one.
It's introduced us to some iconic Islanders and one in particular is Heartbreak King himself Curtis Pritchard who has gone on to slay the showbiz world post Love Island 2019.
In fact, he returned to the franchise in 2023 to take part in Love Island Games (which we're sure has nothing to do with the fact that it was filmed in Fiji) AND he was back in the villa for All Stars 2025.
Six years after Love Island series five, here's everything you need to know about Curtis...

What happened when Curtis Pritchard was on Love Island 2019?
Curtis brought the drama from his very first day in the Love Island villa - especially after he broke the Internet with all his talk of his favourite sex position - The Eagle.
After joining late on day one as a bombshell alongside Tommy Fury (strangest Love Island bromance yet?), Curtis had QUITE the journey.
He initially coupled up with Amy Hart and all seemed to be going smoothly for the duo; they stayed together right up until the dreaded Casa Amor week. Dreaded being the operative word.
When Curtis returned he confessed that a bombshell by the name of Jourdan Riane had caught his eye, it made for hella uncomfortable viewing as Jourdan most certainly did not return Curtis' feelings.
Anyway, Amy was too devastated by the whole ordeal and quit the show.
Curtis ended up finishing in fourth place alongside Maura Higgins.
Are Curtis and Maura in a relationship?
Not any more. They split in March 2020.
And it's safe to say it was a pretty messy split with accusations of cheating from both sides. Saying that, they did reunite on Love Island Games...
What happened when Curtis Pritchard was on All Stars 2025?
What didn't happen?
He was coupled up with Kaz Crossley thanks to the public vote but shortly after Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu arrived, she stole him away.
They seemed like the perfect couple up Danielle Sellers arrived - Curtis' head turned, he said a few lies and Ekin-Su threw her drink at him.
Luckily, they put the drama behind them and despite having a blazing row with Elma Pazar and Sammy Root, Curtis and Ekin stayed together and came third in the final.

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.'
After splitting from Maura, Curtis reportedly dated Amber Pierson.

He took part in Celebs Go Dating: The Mansion, The Greatest Dancer as the show's receptionist, Celebrity SAS and landed a small acting role in Hollyoaks with his bro AJ.
Curtis also launched a YouTube channel with his brother that is all about cars. It's is supposed to be pretty interesting, but our car knowledge is limited so we won't be saying much on that.
We told you he was a busy lad.
Oh, and he loves doing a panto around Christmas time.

Were Curtis and AJ Pritchard attacked?
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 28 December 2018. Curtis was forced to undergo an emergency operation to correct damages and AJ had bruising to his face, arms, body and legs.
Unsurprisingly, this reportedly left AJ 'afraid to leave the house', and AJ revealed exactly what happened, '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.'
He went on to tell The Sun, '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.'
