Curtis Pritchard definitely has a type
Love Island's Curtis Pritchard revealed on last night's episode that he was in a serious relationship until only recently.
Following the revelation, fans discovered his ex girlfriend is the spitting image of his love interest on the show, Amy Hart.
Curtis and Emily were dance partners when they were very young before a romance formed later in life.
They stayed together for three years before splitting just last year.

According to MailOnline, Curtis talked about his ex in an interview for ITV before entering the villa.
'My ex-girlfriend was my dance partner. We danced with each other from when we were 12 until we were 14, we were the champions.'
'When we got older we got into a relationship. You spend a lot of time with each other when you’re dancing together.'
'You’re always in a close proximity so it would be weird not to get feelings even if it’s just to be a best friend or if it’s to fall in love.'

Curtis and Amy
The salsa dancer entered the Love Island villa this year in a bid to find love and he's become a fan favourite.
He came in late and was given the difficult task of choosing a girl to couple up with.
The islander chose Amy Hart and the two are really cute together.
Fans have been reacting to their coupling on social media and it's safe to say the internet approves.
