Curtis Pritchard said he feels “stabbed in the back” after his ex girlfriend Maura Higgins announced her new romance with fellow Love Island star Chris Taylor.
The 24-year-old Love Island star has revealed he feels betrayed by Maura and former pal Chris.
Maura and Chris went public with their relationship earlier this week, as Higgins shared a loved-up snap cuddling up to her new man.
Curtis told The Sun: “I feel betrayed by them both — two people I was very close to.
“When I saw the pictures, I’d be lying if I said I didn’t feel hurt. I was upset. How long has this truly been going on for?

“At the time I was accused of cheating, but I never did. I was always faithful to Maura.
“If you look back on everything — and I am looking back on it now — I’m like, ‘Curtis, all the signs were bloomin’ there, why didn’t you realise then?’
Curtis, who is starring in the new series in Celebs Go Dating in a bid to find love, said he trusted them both when they said they would “never get together”.

Curtis also claimed that he was a shoulder for Chris to cry on the villa, and supported him through his romance woes – before he told the dancer that he fancied Maura.
AJ’s little brother was left hurt when their friendship “disappeared” shortly after leaving the villa, with Chris unfollowing him online, and then Maura doing the same after their split.
Maura and Curtis announced they had broken up in March this year, with Maura posting a statement on her Instagram page.
Cracks in their relationship had begun to show when the professional dancer was starring in a pantomime in December 2019.
Maura was rehearsing for Dancing on Ice at the time, and rumours were circulating that she was growing close to her professional partner Alex Demetriou.
Meanwhile, she now appears to be very loved-up with Chris after the pair celebrated her 30th birthday in Dubai, sharing snaps of his lavish gifts to her, and even a camel ride in the desert.
The pair were first seen looking cosy back in June this year, but they had always insisted they were just best friends and had a platonic relationship.
