Curtis Pritchard booed for 'career-ending' crude joke about date 'screaming in pain'

Love Island star Curtis Pritchard was booed during his stand up routine for Channel 4's Stand Up and Deliver, after he included a crude joke he was warned to ditch.

His mentor, Loose Women star Judi Love, revealed she had advised him to remove the joke, but unbeknownst to her, he stuck with it.

Curtis, 25, told the audience: "I had this great idea to go on to the biggest dating show on TV. I had the time of my life on there. It's actually where I got compared to Usain Bolt.

"The only difference is, hang on when he finishes under ten seconds the crowd goes wild, when I finish under ten seconds she looks at me in disgust and says 'is that all you've got?'"

Curtis pointed to a member of the audience and said: "It happens to you too, doesn't it?"

"Don't worry about it, there is a little blue pill that will make you hard for hours, I promise you," he added.

He then continued to make a gag about a time he used hand sanitiser instead of lubricant during sex.

He said: "I got some lubricant out, two squirts, you don't want anymore than that otherwise it's like a slip and slide. You'll slip off the bed and you won't know what hole it's gone in.

"It's like throwing a sausage down a hallway, i's ridiculous."

At this point, disapproving Judi admitted she had told him to remove the crude joke from his set.

"I didn't even know that he was going to do this joke, I told him to take this joke out," she said, holding her head in her hands.

She starts screaming as I rub it on the area and i am thinking, wow am I this good or something? She is saying, 'It's burning, it's burning.'

After his routine finished, Curtis said: "There was a guy booing. I mustn't have been that good but I enjoyed it. I'm exhausted now, I ain't gonna lie.

"Physically, mentally, emotionally exhausted. I need my bed."

Viewers were less than impressed, with one tweeting: "A career ending performance from Curtis. Charity or not he came across as a right creep."

"Curtis is so awkward... the silence is deafening. He went down like a lead balloon," added another.

A third remarked: "Curtis' act was abysmal and vulgar, very unfunny."

A fourth pointed out: Wow, that guy BOOING loud in the corner...we all have our critics Curtis!

"All his jokes was around smut though...was bound to bomb! # StandUpAndDeliver ".
