Ever since Love Island finished in July the couples have been splitting up left, right and centre. From 2019 winners Amber Gill and Greg O'Shea calling it a day to Belle Hassan and Anton Danyluk ending their summer romance and India Reynolds and Ovie Soko silently calling it quits; it ain't going too well.

So when Curtis Pritchard revealed he is still with girlfriend Maura Higgins, we were over the moon; even if they won't be spending Christmas together.

He told The Sun, “I will be doing panto in High Wycombe from the December 2nd until January 5th.

"I have Christmas day off and AJ does too. He will in Dunstable which is only half an hour away from me so we can spend it together and get mum and dad down to us."

Adding that he and Maura are extremely busy, the dancer added, “At the moment I am only visiting Maura once a week anyway because of our work schedules. I have been training for my boxing and Maura has been training for Dancing On Ice, so we are opposite ends of the country at the moment."

The king and queen of Love Island 2019 are still loved up. While Molly Mae is living it up as a brand ambassador for PrettyLittleThing, Tommy's days are filled with training as well as being a brand ambassador for Boohoo Man.

However, he defiantly insisted the pair were still together.

“The villa is not a realistic world. When do you ever spend 24 hours a day with your other half? People have jobs and commitments,” he said.

“It is just a normal, working relationship. We do our separate things and then we see each other. You miss people when you don’t spend all your time with them."

“It makes no sense to me whatsoever that people think we are fake but everyone is entitled to their own opinion. It is mine and Maura’s relationship, we take it as we take it and we do what we do. As long as we are happy it doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks.

“Everyone is like ‘why aren’t you posting all the time about each other, why aren’t you posting every time you see each other’ because I just don’t do that. I like to spend my time off the phone when I with her.”
