Inside Love Island’s Curtis Pritchard’s dramatic body transformation after being body-shamed during his first appearance in the villa

Curtis Pritchard has undergone an incredible transformation after being body-shamed during his first appearance on Love Island. 

The 28-year-old – who is in the currently taking part in the second series of All Stars – originally took part in the fifth series of the ITV2 dating show back in 2019.

As viewers will know, Curtis has over the heart of Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu thanks to his chatty personality, big arms and impressive six pack. 

But the star does look very different to his first stint on the programme, thanks to his muscles and buzz cut hair. 

Five years ago the star ended up placing fourth on the show alongside his ex Maura Higgins, 34, and despite leaving the villa on a high, the dancer was trolled for his looks after gaining weight. 

During a chat with MailOnline back in 2020, Curtis revealed: ‘When I came out of Love Island I put two stone on in weight.

‘I was enjoying the show’s cheesecake too much. 

‘At one point a producer said to me “Curtis we have actually counted how many slices of cheesecake you have with each meal and the most was five slices.”

‘I like my cheesecake, what can I say!’

In a chat with The Mirror earlier this month, the star opened up about how being trolled affected his confidence. 

Curtis told the publication: ‘I did get fat-shamed in there. But you know what? I was on holiday. 

‘So when we’re on holiday, let’s be honest we love to eat food, we love to relax and enjoy ourselves. I do that every time I’m away. I love my food.

‘Maybe I enjoyed myself a little bit too much and ate a bit too much cheesecake.’

Back in 2020 it was revealed that Curtis joined Weight Watchers in a bid to get in shape.

Curtis said at the time: ‘Obviously with my dancing, I’ve always wanted to have this look and feel about myself and I didn’t have it. 

‘And then going into Love Island, putting on a lot of weight and coming out again and being fat-shamed, it was really the perfect time to become an ambᴀssador or WW and join the family.

‘On a truthful note it isn’t nice to say something nasty about someone. 

‘It isn’t nice to do and be on the receiving end. 

‘But you know what, look at me now.’

 Curtis appears to be growing close with Ekin-Su in the All Stars villa at the moment. 

He’s already locked lips with the Turkish actress after she decided to couple up with him. 

Not only that, Ekin-Su also faked an orgasm while grinding on Curtis’ lap in a shocking clip. 

The model isn’t the only person that Curtis has impressed. 

Many viewers watching back at home have dubbed the star the ‘ultimate glow up’.

Love Island All Stars airs on ITV2 and is available to stream on ITVX.
