A PROFESSIONAL ballroom dancer from Whitchurch is continuing his journey on ITV's latest reality TV show.

Curtis Pritchard, brother of Strictly Come Dancing star AJ, has entered his third week on Love Island – a show that puts a group of singletons into a Spanish villa in the hope they will find love.

The 24-year-old has quickly become a national sweetheart for his kind nature having coupled up with Amy Hart within the first few days.

It has been a relatively quiet week for Curtis, who has also become known as the villa 'agony aunt' and frequently provides advice for other contestants.

However, there has seen a second 'recoupling' in which Curtis picked Amy, and on Monday night the couples were asked choose two rivals who they felt were not compatible.

Fortunately, Curtis and Amy received no votes meaning they have not gone forward to the public vote and their place in secure for the next few days at least.

Nevertheless, fans of the show are urging Curtis to split from Amy after her behaviour towards fellow contestant Lucie was branded unfair.
