Curtis Pritchard has opened up about his split from Maura Higgins, revealing he found the break-up – and how she handed it – quite hard.
The pair first got together during Love Island last summer, but went their separate ways in March of this year.
After ending their romance over the phone, Curtis was upset to see Maura shared the news online so soon afterwards.
Speaking to The Sun, the former Dancing with the Stars professional said, “It hurt. I wasn’t ready for everyone to know we had split up. I wanted some time.
“It was a shock to see that she had announced it on social media hours later.”
Curtis hoped they’d be in it for the long run, but sadly, it wasn’t meant to be.
“I could have seen us having a future, yes. But our careers got in the way,” he said.
The pair have been incredibly busy with their own careers over the last few months, which left little time for them to see each other.
Maura most recently competed in ITV’s Dancing on Ice, while Curtis was working on The Greatest Dancer.
