Maura and Curtis were one of our favourite couples in the villa and one of the more established ones after the series ended. After seven months together, the couple called it quits in early March. Maura shared an emotional Instagram post confirming her breakup with professional dancer Curtis Pritchard:

Curtis and I have made the decision to separate. We enjoyed a great experience from our time in the villa and want to thank everyone for supporting our relationship. ‘There is no easy way to get through a breakup and no bad feeling on either side. We tried to make it work, but it wasn’t meant to be and I wish Curtis nothing but the best for the future.
But fans reckon the breakup wasn't exactly amicable. The couple were hit by claims they’d had an explosive row at the National Television Awards in January. Maura was reportedly ‘reduced to tears’ after getting into an argument with Curtis and allegedly told fans that the dancer was ‘using her’.
Then, rumours spread that the couple had secretly split up three months ago and have kept it a secret to boost each other's fame - specifically Maura's. It comes after the couple were confronted with Curtis's cheating allegations with dancer Amber Pierson.
And the drama's not over yet!
Last week, the Dancing On Ice star shared a snap of herself with the next caption:
A strong woman never gives up on herself, but she may give up on you
Shady...
Well, Curtis is hitting back as he shared this photo with his family on Instagram with an interesting caption:
His brother commented beneath his photo: 'Always support each other.. '
We hope Curtis and Maura keep it clean from now on...
