Love Island latest: Francesca slams Curtis and Maura’s ‘disrespectful’ behaviour as they crack on after recoupling

Curtis Pritchard has found himself at the centre of yet another love triangle in the Love Island villa.

After breaking up with Amy Hart last week, the ballroom dancer is now coupled up with new girl Francesca Allen following last night’s recoupling ceremony, which saw Marvin Brooks dumped from the island.

However, tonight’s episode proves that Maura Higgins is still determined to crack on with Curtis - and the dancer seems keen to keep his options open.

As he tells Maura that he is still keen to explore a romantic connection with her, the couple raise a toast to one another, prompting the grid girl to suggest that they should “sneak out on the day bed tonight, when everyone’s gone to sleep.”

Discussing his conundrum with friend Tommy Fury, Curtis admits that he is torn between the two girls and tells the boxer: “I don’t want to rush it but I know I need to get a move on because I’ll push them both away. I wish one of them was horrible, it would make the decision so much easier!”

Meanwhile Francesca is convinced that Curtis could be the one for her, admitting in the Beach Hut that their personalities are “really similar.”

“I haven’t really found someone before that is as positive and silly and giggly as me,” she says.

When Maura asks Curtis for a back massage in full view of Francesca, though, she is less than impressed.

As the boys prepare a special meal for their dates later in the evening, she is keen to let him know how the incident made her feel.

“I did find it a little disrespectful,” she admits, adding: “I find that quite full on.”

Listening in from the next table, Maura looks irritated by her rival - but who will Curtis decide to pursue things with?

Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2.
