Curtis Pritchard is reportedly eyeing up a Love Island return.

The 29-year-old dancer first appeared on the ITV2 dating show in 2019, and it's claimed he is in talks for a sensational third stint after returning for an All Stars series earlier this year.

An insider told The Sun newspaper: "Curtis has had some secret meetings with Love Island bosses about returning for another All Stars stint in January.

“He knows some people will scoff about this being his third time in the villa, but he thinks it could be third time lucky.”

Back in May, it was confirmed Curtis had split from Ekin-Su Culculoglu after just three months together.

They had met in Love Island: All Stars earlier in 2025, and the reality star is keen to find "a genuine connection" in the villa for a third time.

The source added: "Him and Ekin-Su didn’t work out, but they did have a genuine connection, as did him and Maura Higgins the first time around, so he knows it can work.

"Obviously, the final line-up hasn’t been confirmed yet, but don’t be surprised if you see him strutting in there on launch night."

An ITV spokesperson told the newspaper that "any names suggested now would simply be speculation".

Curtis and Ekin-Su finished third on Love Island: All Stars earlier this year, but in May they confirmed their split.

Ekin-Su wrote on Intagram: "I wanted to share that Curtis and I have decided to go our separate ways.

"It's been a really tough decision, but one made with a lot of love and respect for one another.

"He's an incredible person and I'll always cherish the memories we made both in and out of the villa."

And her added to his own followers: "It's true, Ekin and I have decided to go our separate ways. Breakups are never easy, but I'll always be grateful for the laughs, the adventures, and the memories (especially the dance routines).

"I'll be keeping busy with work, boxing, dancing, and working with the team on FINT (celebrity investment app). Lots of love, Curtis x."
