Curtis Pritchard's brother AJ defended his brother against the backlash he has received over his awkward recoupling speech on Love Island .
As well as hitting out at the girls for interfering, he insisted that Amy Hart needed to trust Curtis.
AJ also said that it had been hard seeing his brother so upset and that Curtis "wears his heart on his sleeve".
Last night, the dancer's half-girlfriend Amy was left heartbroken after he said that he had been "lying from the start" about their relationship.
As if that wasn't enough, he admitted that he fancied new girl Jourdan and had snogged her while they were playing games in the villa against Casa Amor.
He had also told Jourdan that if he were to choose someone to recouple with, he would have chosen her.
However he told Amy he had been rejected and that it had made him want to reflect on their relationship.
Speaking on Lorraine today, Curtis said: "It's hard seeing him and seeing it from the bigger picture."
He added: "Curtis wears his heart on his sleeve. He’s so honest, he literally can’t lie and that’s sometimes his downfall, sometimes I feel like, ‘Just say it this way, it’ll come across maybe nicer than the way you’ve said it…’”
"The other girls are blocking Amy [from talking to him]," he pointed out. "My advice was just talk to Amy."
Speaking about Curtis and Amy's relationship troubles, AJ said: "It’s been portrayed that he’s kind of cheated on her, whereas realistically, yes he kissed another girl, but that was in a task."
"She does need to trust in Curtis, I know it's hard," AJ said.
Asked whether he thought Curtis should stay with Amy, AJ said: "I think he should stay with Amy. Curtis does what he feels and he wants to get back with her.”
He added: "100% yeah, she's a gorgeous girl."
