AJ Pritchard throws shade at Curtis' Love Island ex Amy as he gushes over Maura

AJ Pritchard appeared to throw shade at his brother's ex-half-girlfriend Amy Hart as he gushed over his new lover Maura Higgins.

Amy quit Love Island after being left heartbroken by Curtis, whose head was turned by another woman.

He's since coupled up with Irish beauty Maura, and AJ has suggested they're a much better match.

The Strictly Come Dancing professional also said his family will welcome her with open arms.

He told OK! online : "We can’t wait to meet Maura and welcome her into our family. She seems like she is lots of fun and that is what Curtis needs."

AJ also spoke about his own relationship with his new girlfriend, fellow dancer Abbie Quinnen.

They recently went public by sharing a loved-up snap on Instagram .

He said: "Things are very early days, but are great."

There's even suggestion of AJ and Abbie joining Curtis and Maura on a double date once they get home from the villa, with him saying it "would be wild".

AJ and Abbie are said to have been dating for a while before letting the world in on their romance.

A source told The Sun : "AJ fell for Abbie the moment he saw her and they've been dating for a while now.

"It's very early days between them but their friends think they make a perfect pairing.

"They've been on a number of low key dates and were seen being very tactile with each other at a couple of parties during the tour."
