Former Love Island<\/a> star Curtis Pritchard<\/a> has made a dig at his ex-girlfriend Maura Higgins<\/a> days before she enters the I\u2019m A Celebrity\u2026Get Me Out of Here! <\/a>jungle.<\/p>\n

The pair first met during the 2019 season of Love Island, where they coupled up after he infamously dumped Amy Hart.<\/p>\n

They made it to the final and were named in fourth place but despite leaving the villa together<\/a>, they broke up just under a year later<\/a> in March 2020.<\/p>\n

In the years since, the two have traded barbs<\/a>, with Curtis, 28, now taking another swipe at his ex.<\/p>\n

It comes after Maura, 33, discusses her experience on Love Island on Paul C Brunson\u2019s We Need To Talk<\/a> podcast.<\/p>\n

Speaking about her ex, she described him as a \u2018why not\u2019 man, explaining she only dated him due to there being limited options in the villa.<\/p>\n

However, Curtis has now hit back.<\/p>\n

\u2018I\u2019ve no idea what\u2019s she done. I don\u2019t even know what podcast you\u2019re on about. I have no idea,\u2019 he said when asked whether he\u2019d listened to the episode.<\/p>\n

He added: \u2018She can\u2019t keep my name out of her mouth, can she?\u2019<\/p>\n

Curtis made the comments when speaking to The Sun <\/a>while attending the Irish Post Awards with his girlfriend Sophie Sheridan.<\/p>\n

When being interviewed, Maura had said Curtis was not her \u2018dream man\u2019 and wasn\u2019t even her \u2018type\u2019 but that she decided to give him a chance.<\/p>\n

\u2018When you’re locked in a house, I say locked but you’re in a house and you’re in there for X amount of time. You’re going to start liking people that you wouldn’t normally like.<\/p>\n

\u2018Not to be mean but you are, you’re in there. I’m pretty sure it would probably be the same on Big Brother. You’re locked in a house; you’re not seeing any other men. You’re going to be like \u201cwhy not\u201d.\u2019<\/p>\n

Curtis and Maura reunited on screen last year when he was eliminated from Love Island Games and appeared on the spin-off show she was hosting, however things were clearly strained between the two.<\/p>\n

Following their split, Curtis was accused of cheating on Maura, claims he denied.<\/p>\n

The professional dancer, who previously appeared on the Irish version of Dancing with the Stars, is now dating dancer Sophie Sheridan, whom he met during a pantomime production of Cinderella in Wolverhampton in 2021.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile Maura recently addressed rumours she is dating Towie star Pete Wicks<\/a>, who is currently competing on Strictly Come Dancing.<\/p>\n

During Paul\u2019s podcast, she spoke about Pete, saying they had \u2018instantly clicked\u2019, which came after they were previously snapped kissing after a date in London.<\/p>\n

Maura is also expected to fly to Australia in coming days to become a campmate on the latest season of the ITV reality series I\u2019m A Celebrity.<\/p>\n

Love Island is streaming on ITVX.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
