“To talk openly and freely was a breath of fresh air.

“It was nice to be able to speak with people I felt safe talking about it with.”

Curtis and Maura began dating after meeting on Love Island in 2019. The couple appeared to go from strength to strength after leaving the villa.

But, their romance came to an end in March shortly after he appearance on Dancing on Ice.

Nearly a year on, after Maura hinted at plans to marry Chris Taylor, Curtis is ready to find love again on Celebs Go Dating and sounds optimistic about his future.

He said: “I love the work I do, and I’m still young.

“I just feel it was also the same for Maura, and it just meant we went our separate ways.”

However, Maura isn’t the only Love Island star Curtis, who recently sparked romance rumours with Kimberly Hart-Simpson, no longer speaks to.

Curtis recently revealed he no longer speaks to any of his former villa friends, including former BFF Tommy Fury, whom Curtis previously claimed “hadn’t replied” to his messages.

He was asked by Strictly Come Dancing winner Bill Bailey on Steph’s Packed Lunch if he has kept in touch with any of his co-stars.

The dancer then said: “I haven't, no. I'm just going to tell you straight, I actually really haven't to be fair.

“You've got a whole new WhatsApp group that's gone from one to the other now!”
