Curtis Pritchard shows off painful-looking facial injury as he packs on the PDA with girlfriend Ekin-Su Culculoglu at the Grand National at Aintree

Curtis Pritchard showed off his painful-looking facial injury at the Grand National at Aintree on Saturday.  

The Love Island star, 29, attended the races with girlfriend Ekin-Su Culculoglu, 30, who he pᴀssionately kissed in front of the pH๏τographer.

Curtis had a black eye for the glamorous outing, with a representative for the dancer explaining: ‘He has been sparring for his fight at Mistfis, his boxing debut.’

Despite the shock injury, he still dressed to the nines and cut a smart figure in a lilac shirt and beige trousers, while accessorising with a silver dog tag necklace.

Meanwhile, Ekin was the epitome of chic as she flaunted her long toned legs in a beige suit which boasted a blazer and skimpy pleated shorts. 

The stunner appeared braless beneath the outfit, which she teamed with ɴuᴅᴇ heels, a glamorous make-up look and a striking navy fascinator.

Last month, Curtis challenged his girlfriend Ekin-Su’s ex-boyfriend Davide Sanclimenti to a fight in an interview.

Davide won Love Island with Ekin-Su, both 30, in 2022, but the couple ultimately called time on their relationship in 2023.

Now, Ekin is in a new relationship with Curtis after they starred together on the programme’s most recent series of All Stars.

Speaking to Boxing Buzz Hub at an event this week, Curtis named two people who he would call-out for a fight.

He admitted: ‘I’ve got a couple, I’m not going to say everyone but I will give you two names.

‘Sammy [Root] from my series of Love Island because I know that he boxes and would perhaps love to do it.’

Curtis continued: ‘And then maybe Davide which is Ekin’s ex because I know he never treated her well so that would be an interesting one.’

Ekin-Su split from Davide in January 2024, nearly two years after they were crowned Love Island champions, and claimed at the time that he was unfaithful.

Davide recently made yet another thinly-veiled dig at his ex Ekin-Su on Valentine’s Day as he shared a loved-up post with his new girlfriend.

He revealed he’s found ‘true love’ and is ‘healing’ after going public with his stunning new American girlfriend, Iris, in January.

He took to Instagram to share a Valentine’s Day tribute to his new love and appeared to take a swipe at Ekin-Su as he said ‘true love doesn’t destroy you’.

Davide wrote: ‘Happy Valentine’s Day to the most romantic woman I’ve ever met. Since being with you, I learned what a ”monthsary” is.

‘You’re the most kind and genuine person. We were supposed to meet as friends, but from that first ”friendly date,” we’ve been inseparable. I loved that you didn’t know who I was.

He continued: ‘Thank you for believing in me, for bringing out my best, and for being someone who pushes me to grow.

‘True love is wonderful because it doesn’t destroy you. I know we met for a reason and I’m glad we’re healing each other. We don’t have to be together—we choose each other every day. To us.’

He included a carousel of stunning snaps with his new girlfriend, including a slew of loved-up holiday pictures.
