Reality television star Curtis Pritchard is set for a dramatic confrontation as he signs up for the new series of Ex on the Beach, where a former girlfriend is reportedly seeking revenge for a painful breakup.
A Bitter Breakup Comes Back to Haunt Him
Curtis Pritchard, the 29-year-old known for his appearances on Love Island, left ex-girlfriend Sophie Sheridan feeling humiliated when he ended their relationship shortly before returning to ITV's Love Island: All Stars. The situation worsened when Curtis began a romance with former Love Island winner Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu during the South African season, though their relationship lasted just three months after filming wrapped.
Now filming for Ex on the Beach in Tenerife, Curtis cannot avoid facing the consequences of his past actions. A source told the Daily Mail that Sophie hopes to finally get answers about why Curtis ended their relationship so ruthlessly.
Intense Confrontation Filmed for Television
The scenes between Curtis and Sophie are described as incredibly intense by production insiders. Sophie was left devastated when Curtis dumped her to appear on Love Island: All Stars, and her pain only deepened when he publicly moved on with Ekin-Su.
With everything being filmed for the reality show, Sophie now has her chance to confront Curtis directly about his behaviour. The show is currently being filmed in Tenerife and is expected to air early next year.
Curtis's Reality TV History and New Direction
Curtis Pritchard, whose brother is former Strictly Come Dancing professional AJ Pritchard, first found fame on the 2019 series of Love Island, where he met ex-girlfriend Maura Higgins.
After his All Stars appearance earlier this year and subsequent split from Ekin-Su in July, Curtis had seemingly stepped away from reality television to focus on boxing training. His return to the dating reality world with Ex on the Beach marks a significant comeback to the genre that made him famous.
He won't be the only one facing difficult conversations on the show. TOWIE star Dani Imbert is also joining the 2026 series to confront her former partner, Reiss Boyce, who recently found fame on E4's Married At First Sight UK.
Reiss married Leisha Lightbody during his MAFS UK stint, with both women now expected to appear on Ex on the Beach to confront him about his questionable behaviour. Dani claims Reiss betrayed her by signing up for the show after telling her he was going traveling and suggesting they could rekindle their relationship upon his return.
