Curtis Pritchard caused frustration with Maura Higgins after he rejected her sexual advances, but it’s his apology which has riled viewers.

In the latest episode, Maura attempted to take their romance to the next level only to be rejected by Curtis, who explained ‘tonight is not the night’.

Maura complained to the girls about the lack of action with her frustrations soon echoing through the villa – prompting Curtis to confront the situation and explain himself.

Speaking to Maura, Curtis said: ‘I just wanted to talk with you because last night the thing that happened in bed and stuff. Don’t take that the wrong way at all.

‘Because literally everything that had gone on to do with four people had left, two of your best friends, two of my best friends, and looking after the babies and everything, drained it out of me as well because I couldn’t sleep.



‘In bed I was just… I had a headache, what Anna said was playing on my mind and stuff, I’d love to rip the clothes off you and everything, I’d love to do all of that, but last night was so not the time.

Maura has one thing and one thing only on her mind rn… #LoveIsland pic.twitter.com/jvH1cR9wrp — Love Island (@LoveIsland) July 25, 2019

‘Nothing that’s gone on has been a problem, I just want to reassure you and let you know that there’s nothing wrong.’

Maura, who seemed comforted by his words, said: ‘I don’t want us bickering either.’

Viewers didn’t necessarily believe Curtis should explain himself over the situation though, criticising Maura’s tantrums.

I love Maura but the pressure she’s putting on Curtis shouldn’t be accepted… if it was the other way around he’d probably be kicked out the villa #LoveIsland pic.twitter.com/OJFwUuvsHx — Elle ✨ (@Ellie11336131) July 25, 2019

If Curtis was speaking about Maura the way she is speaking about him saying she is ‘losing patience’ the internet would go mad and that’s just double standards #loveisland — 🖤 M E G S 🖤 (@Megsx17) July 25, 2019

I don’t think Maura understands the whole concept of consent, if Curtis doesn’t want it, he doesn’t want it. #LoveIsland — M🇬🇧 (@mbaiden3B) July 25, 2019

i don’t even like curtis but omg why is he even having to explain to maura why he doesn’t want to have sex with her??? i’m uncomfortable #LoveIsland — Josie Litten (@LittenJosie) July 25, 2019

Curtis shouldn't have to apologise because he didn't want to give Maura sex. What is that?! #LoveIsland — Wisdom🇨🇩🇨🇩 (@sixfwiz) July 25, 2019

CURTIS SHOULD NOT NEED TO APOLOGISE FOR NOT SLEEPING WITH MAURA #LoveIsland — Jade Hurn (@jadie4876) July 25, 2019

Love Island continues on ITV2 at 9pm.
