Love Island star Curtis Pritchard has failed to complete the London Marathon, leaving fans and fellow runners puzzled. The 30-year-old reality TV personality joined co-stars Lauren Wood and Dejon Noel-Williams at the start line in Blackheath, but unlike his peers, he did not cross the finish line.
The official results page shows no recorded finish time for Curtis, even though the event took place days ago. A source said: 'There was much fanfare over the Love Islanders taking part in the marathon – especially Curtis, who shared so much of his training on social media. But while Lauren and Dejon both formally finished, Curtis hasn’t officially finished the race – and it ended four days ago.'
While Curtis has remained silent about the run itself, his co-stars achieved impressive times. Lauren Wood completed the 26.2-mile course in 4 hours, 33 minutes and 32 seconds, making her the fastest known Love Island contestant to finish the marathon. Dejon Noel-Williams finished in 4:56:11, and Curtis's brother AJ Pritchard completed the race in 5:15:27.
Curtis had documented his training on social media alongside AJ, sharing clips of their runs and encouraging fans to donate to charity. The night before the marathon, AJ posted videos of the pair preparing, while Curtis shared footage of himself getting a haircut. On race day, Curtis posted only a light-hearted comedy video about financial advice.
The Mirror has contacted Curtis's representative for comment. Meanwhile, Lauren's friend revealed she had carefully prepared for the heat and was determined to finish for charity Dog's Trust. After the race, Lauren celebrated with friends including fellow Islanders Megan Moore and Jessica Harding.
