Curtis Pritchard defends Amy Hart dumping ahead of awkward Love Island reunion

Curtis Pritchard is returning to the Love Island villa for ITV's 2025 All Stars series - and the 28-year-old has revealed how he's feeling about reuniting with ex Amy Hart

Love Island's Curtis Pritchard is heading back to the villa for another chance at finding romance in All Stars, but there's a chance he'll come face-to-face with ex Amy Hart after his South African stint. With Amy, 31, hosting the Love Island: All Stars podcast, Curtis has revealed how he's feeling about being interviewed by her once he's out of the villa - and what viewers don't understand about how their relationship ended.

Curtis, 28, rose to fame on Love Island's 2019 series, coupling up with fellow islander Amy at the start of the series. However, after a trip to Casa Amor, the star returned to the villa to end his romance with Amy - resulting in her early exit from the show.

Speaking to The Mirror and other press ahead of his Love Island: All Stars stint, Curtis revisited his awkward chat with Amy that ended their romance and whether he could learn anything from the moment. "I think with that whole Amy situation, there's a Casa Amor bit that we may all be forgetting about," he said.

"You're not able to talk to your other half there, so it changes the reality of things ever so slightly. My one goal that I wanted to do when that Casa Amor bit happened was to be able to talk to Amy and let her know how I'm feeling and that it wasn't Amy. You can't do that in that scenario so there isn't anything I could learn or change from that too much really.

"It's a bit of a tricky one there. I feel like I'm normally - touch wood - very respectful. I try to be anyway."

As for how Curtis feels about reuniting with Amy on the Love Island: All Stars podcast in future weeks, he revealed that he's now on great terms with his ex. "Amy's awesome. I love Amy," he said. "Outside of the villa, she's smashing it. She's doing absolutely unbelievably.

"All the jobs that she's doing, like the podcast, this and that. She's got a kid now, she's rocking it. So you know what, it'll be a really cool reunion and we'll probably end up going out for food after. I'll be excited for that."

Since her Love Island stint in 2019, Amy has moved on with Sam Rason, who she married in a stunning Spanish ceremony last September. The couple welcomed their first child Stanley the year before.
