He's only just returned home from Mallorca after his stint in the Love Island villa, and he's already landed himself a role in a famous pantomime, but Curtis Pritchard isn't stopping there.

According to new reports from The Sun, the ballroom dancer has only gone and landed himself a role on Simon Cowell's BBC dancing show The Greatest Dancer... But not in the role you'd expect.

As Curtis is a fully-trained ballroom dancer, who has appeared on the Irish version of Dancing With The Stars, you'd think he'd be given either a judging or choreographer role, but instead he's reportedly going to be the show's new receptionist!

In series one of The Greatest Dancer, the receptionist, who greets the hopefuls before they go on to perform for Cheryl, Oti Mabuse and Matthew Morrison, was Thames TV producer Amelia Wilson.

But according to new reports, series two could see Curtis take over the role!

A source said, “The BBC and Simon were keen to get involved in the frenzy that is Love Island and thought Curtis went down well with viewers.

“The receptionist role sounds a small one but it’s important first port of call for contestants when they appear on the show and their interactions with Curtis will set them up nicely before they go out in front of the dance captains."

Despite the reports, the BBC are yet to confirm anything. 👀

Meanwhile, after spending almost two months in the Love Island villa, Curtis arrived back in the UK on Wednesday (31st July), alongside Maura Higgins and the other finalists.

Although Love Island is over for another year, fans will be given TWO series in 2020, with applications for the Winter edition expected to open soon.
