Love Island All Stars viewers were left in hysterics during Monday night’s long-awaited heartrate challenge by Catherine Agbaje’s terrified reaction towards Curtis Pritchard.
A staple of the show since 2018, the iconic challenge saw the girls don revealing outfits to turn up the heat, while the boys followed suit by oiling up and stripping off.
Curtis, 28, caused chaos when it was his turn at the raunchy challenge, once again donning his iconic feathered hat, which made him a internet sensation during his first villa stint.
He danced energetically in nothing but a pair of H๏τ pants for his X-rated routine, which saw him lift and grind against partner Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu.
However, the rest of the girls couldn’t hide their scared reactions to the dancer’s chaotic moves, with one moment leaving fans ‘in tears’.
Curtis ran towards the group sat around the firepit before going to his knees to slide across the floor directly at Catherine.

The 24-year-old screamed in absolute shock and jumped to the side, almost landing in Tina Stinnes’s lap in her rush to get away.
And viewers watching at home confessed they were ‘obsessed’ by Catherine being ‘genuinely scared’ and ‘fighting for her life’ to get away from Curtis.
They took to X to write: ‘Crying at Curtis skidding across the floor in that outfit and Catherine running away’; ‘not catherine fighting for her life to get away from curtis’.
‘i can’t stop watching this i am so obsessed with catherine literally fearing for her life seeing curtis coming towards her’; ‘My girl Catherine ran for her life’.
‘the way catherine and tina are seriously in FEAR i am in tears’; ‘Catherine’s reaction here is quite literally is how I feel about Curtis’.
‘Im obsessed with Curtis raising all the girls hearts because they all screamed and ran away in fear’; ‘I am screaming Catherine is genuinely scared for her life’.

‘Catherine ran for her life’; ‘The way Catherine ran’; ‘If Catherine’s heart races the most for Curtis, it’s because the poor girl is SCARED!’
‘i’m CRYING i’ve never seen catherine move so hastily her and tina were SCARED of creepy curtis. this scared me more than his hollyoaks acting’.
As fans predicted, Curtis ended up raising six of the girl’s heart rates, the most out of all the boys, with viewers convinced that it was out of fear rather than arousal.
Harriett Blackmore, 24, later proved the fans theory right when she giggled that her pulse raised out of fear.
Meanwhile viewers were left divided over Ekin-Su’s wild heart rate challenge performance, which left her fellow islanders in utter shock.
The villa erupted with excitement during the challenge, and as always, drama was never far behind, with Ekin-Su stealing the spotlight.
As the last girl took the stage to show off her moves and get the boys’ hearts racing, the beauty made a stunning entrance in a revealing red lingerie set.
To cap off the performance, Ekin-Su made sure to give each boy a moment to remember, leaving a trail of steamy displays behind her.

However, in the heat of the challenge, she kissed Sammy Root, which didn’t sit well with Elma Pazar as Ekin-Su agreed not to kiss her man during the challenge.
Unimpressed with her actions, viewers took to X, formerly Twitter, and shared their thoughts.
They said: ‘Naaa that was uncomfortable’; ‘The most embarrᴀssing, cringe thing about love island’; ‘Ekin su is so unhinged, where is fast forward’.
‘NAAAAAA EKIN WAS TOO MUCH ACTUALLY SO UNCOMFORTABLE TO WATCH’; ‘Okay ekin calm down’; ‘I’m so sorry but WHAT IS GOING ON???? EKIN’.
However, some viewers actually praised Ekin-Su for ‘brining the drama,’ as they said: ‘I AM SCREAMING EKIN IS SO ICONIC’; ‘I love ekin so much man she’s here for DRAMAAAA’.
‘Ekin doing the crawl and kissed sammy on the lips she wants to win so bad that challenge’; ‘EKIN IS SO INSANE I LOVE IT’.
‘Ekin su they can never make me hate you she gave a PERFORMANCE’; ‘I didn’t expect anything less from extra su’.
