During an interview with The Daily Star, Curtis added: "I am 100% keen to do more acting. 1000%! I have been having acting lessons. From that performance on Hollyoaks to now, I’m like a different person."
Responding to the backlash he and AJ received following their appearances on Hollyoaks, he said: "Put it like this, I got more press than Hollyoaks has ever got. In more countries than even get Hollyoaks. They were very happy."
