Odds slashed for Maura Higgins and Curtis Pritchard to win Love Island 2019

Bookmakers have slashed the odds for Maura Higgins and Curtis Pritchard to win this year's Love Island.

A major twist is on the cards after a clip of the Longford woman admitting she fancies the professional ballroom dancer was played at the end of Thursday's episode.

The teaser sent fans into a frenzy and now one bookmaker has made the unlikely couple the fourth favourite pairing to claim the prize of €50,000.

Boylesports was offering 66/1 for Maura and Curtis to win earlier on Friday, but now Ladbrokes has priced the odds at just 25/1.

However, Ladbrokes did note that as Curtis is most likely boy to be dumped from the villa, they aren't being tipped as potential winners.

Nicola McGeady of Ladbrokes said: "Although Maura has an army of fans on the outside world, Curtis does not so should they couple up, we can’t see them going all the way."

The betting company has Tommy and Molly at 1/12, Anton and Belle at 15/2 and Michael and Joanna at 10/1.
