Did Curtis cheat?
Meanwhile, a close friend of Maura and Curtis' told MailOnline that he did not cheat on her with Amber.

The source said, 'We all know the truth that there was no overlap of him beginning to see Amber.'
'They toured together without any form of spark, it was only afterwards that this occurred.'
'Any suggestion otherwise is just a smear campaign by Maura to cause harm to Curtis and cause him further upset and hurt.'
'The truth will all come out in time, but we all back Curtis and support his version of events.'
'Those in glass houses shouldn't throw bricks!' The source finished.
