Maura Higgins doesn't like Curtis Pritchard's new look ahead of tough Christmas

New week, new look for Curtis Pritchard as he chopped his beard off late on Sunday night.

But girlfriend Maura Higgins has the Monday morning blues - she wished he'd left his facial hair alone.

The dancer is getting ready to star in Dick Whittington over Christmas and the panto rehearsals are about to begin.

So Curtis went for a fresh look - and hoped to put smiles on faces.

That backfired after showing off his shaved chin on Instagram - and she didn't hide her feelings.

Maura said: "It’s a sad day, everybody.

"In his head’, he thinks lead character Dick is more of the ‘clean-shaven’ type."

She could be heard in the background of the video saying: "F*ck sake. F*ck Dick Whittington."

They should really be nicer to each other - they have decided to not share Christmas day together this year.

He blamed their busy work schedules for the arrangement as he will be performing in panto.

Sharing on his and brother AJ's plans for the holiday, and how Maura is not included, he told The Sun: "I will be doing panto in High Wycombe from the December 2 until January 5

"I have Christmas day off and AJ does too.

"He will in Dunstable which is only half an hour away from me so we can spend it together and get Mum and Dad down to us."

He also explained that he and Maura rarely see one another but that he visits her once a week.

Maura, meanwhile, is hard at work in preparation for Dancing On Ice, which kicks off in January.

The brunette beauty is also a brand ambassador for fashion label boohoo, and she's landed a lucrative deal with lingerie giant Ann Summers.
