Love Island’s Curtis Pritchard Drops Cringe-Worthy Line to Steal Ekin-Su’s Heart!

BBG News

As a connoisseur of all things lifestyle, let me share an intriguing tidbit from the latest episode of Love Island All Stars. In a rather amusing moment, the ever-charming Curtis Pritchard slipped in a cringe-worthy joke about his brief stint on Hollyoaks before locking lips with the captivating Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu in a steamy kiss that had viewers on the edge of their seats. Quite the dramatic turn of events, wouldn’t you agree?

In the next episode, we find Curtis, age 28, engaging his acting abilities as he politely refuses Ekin’s invitation for a meeting on the balcony instead.

However, Ekin, aged 30, swiftly challenges his credibility, as Curtis playfully tells the group, “You’ve watched me on Hollyoaks, and you adored it!

In a rather exaggerated manner, Curtis compliments Ekin by saying she has stunning eyes. To this, Ekin responds by acknowledging that they’ve shared an exceptional, nearly perfect connection, given her past experiences.

In a moment that solidified their bond, Curtis whispered, “Kissing holds great significance for me. It’s an enlightening experience.

Ekin adds: ‘I think I’ve learnt something from you just now, you’re very passionate!’

After it was revealed that ballroom dancer-turned-reality star Curtis would be returning to Love Island All Stars, attention has once again been drawn to his appearance on Hollyoaks alongside his brother AJ, a performance that had previously received much criticism.

In the year 2021, they portrayed twin characters Marco and Jacob on the soap opera Hollyoaks alongside each other. However, their performances quickly gained attention online, largely due to their somewhat rigid acting style.

Viewers found themselves questioning if Curtis’s line, “How’s Trish?”, was hinting at a potential plan to harm long-standing character Trish Minniver or simply setting up for a surprise celebration.

Other television soap opera actors like Michael Greco, a frequent face on EastEnders, and Parry Glasspool from Hollyoaks, criticized the Pritchard family and chastised casting directors for choosing them over skilled, job-seeking actors who had formal training.

Gerard McCarthy, aged 43 and famously recognized as Kris Fisher on Hollyoaks for four years, expressed: ‘The next time a producer or casting director mentions “they have a large social media presence”, simply guide them towards this utter trainwreck!’

Michael commented: ‘This is a great learning opportunity for many. It shows what not to do, quite surprisingly.’

In February 2021, it became public knowledge that these two siblings were set to make their debut on the soap opera Hollyoaks, portraying twin characters who initiate a dance school within the series.

Actor “Parry,” known for his role as Harry Thompson on Hollyoaks, posted on social media: “Just to make things clear, I don’t have any issues with individuals leveraging reality TV to advance a profession they’ve already been training for or demonstrated an interest in.

However, it’s quite disheartening to observe. It seems unfair that other actors who secure roles in popular soaps have to undergo extensive training, accumulate prior credits, endure numerous casting calls and auditions, only then to be considered for a part, while I am not even given the opportunity yet.

Nowadays, it seems more feasible to take a trip to Majorca for Love Island rather than have an opportunity at landing acting roles.

When aspiring actors, having faced numerous rejections, witness another actor securing a role they auditioned for, who seems more interested in becoming the type of person who brews coffee for everyone, it can feel incredibly disheartening and might tempt them to consider giving up.

AJ and Curtis later reacted to the backlash they faced for appearing in the Channel 4 soap. 

During an interview with OK! Magazine, Curtis, aged 25 at that time, stated he hadn’t realized the abundance of memes and video clips across the internet labeling their moments as “difficult to endure.

In the late hours of Love Island, tensions seemed to escalate more between Curtis and Ekin, as they engaged in a steamy game near the fireplace.

Previously crowned Love Island champion announced that she chose Curtis as her latest companion, thereby leaving Kaz without a partner.

Her fellow Islanders were shocked by the choice, with many believing she would go for Scott Thomas.

India Reynolds was heard saying: ‘I am shocked,’ as Scott said: ‘Wow.’

Ekin returned to the ITV dating series at the end of Monday night’s episode.

The television personality, who won a £50,000 cash prize alongside ex Davide in June 2022, reappeared during the climactic finale of the eagerly awaited premiere episode, stepping back into the spotlight as a surprise entrant.
