Love Island's Curtis Pritchard 'moves on from ex Maura Higgins with Cinderella co-star'

Love Island star Curtis Pritchard has reportedly 'moved on from ex-girlfriend Maura Higgins with his Cinderella co-star'.

The reality star rose to fame on the ITV2 reality show and ended up dating fellow Islander Maura before they broke up at the beginning of 2020.

It has now been reported that the 26-year-old started dating Sophie Sheridan after the two met while they worked on stage together.

According to The Sun, Sophie joined the dancer, his brother AJ Pritchard and his girlfriend Abbie Quinnen at the Cheltenham races recently.

"Curtis and Sophie looked loved up as they strolled around the racecourse together on Friday," the source told the publication.

"The pair met when they both starred in panto Cinderella last year after they developed a spark on the stage."

Mirror have contacted Curtis' representatives for comment.

The former Love Island couple dated for eight months before parting ways.

At the time, Maura took to her Instagram stories to confirm the breakup, admitting they "couldn't make it work".

She wrote: "Curtis and I have made the decision to separate. We enjoyed a great experience from our time in the villa and want to thank everyone for supporting our relationship.

"There is no easy way to get through a breakup and no bad feeling on either side.

"We tried to make it work but it wasn't to be and I wish Curtis nothing but the best for the future."

She finished her post with a broken heart emoji.

Maura and Curtis were forced to deny rumours of a split since the moment they got together as their busy schedules meant they spent a lot of time apart.

Meanwhile, Curtis recently revealed that he was moving out of his brother AJ's flat after three years.

The dancer revealed he is moving into his own flat, much to the pleasure of AJ, 27, who was a pro dancer on Strictly.

Curtis shared his intentions to leave his brother's flat during an appearance on Channel 4's lunchtime show, Steph's Packed Lunch, with Steph McGovern last week.

Appearing on the show, alongside his brother, Curtis said: "Tomorrow, I pick up the keys, I’m moving into a place with no furniture, nothing and I’m still going to sleep there that night.”

AJ added that Curtis moving out couldn't have come sooner, as he had been looking forward to having his flat to himself and his girlfriend Abbie.
