CURTIS Pritchard and Maura Higgins had an excruciating reunion when they came face to face for the first time since their bitter 2020 split.
The former Islanders awkwardly met again when Curtis appeared on Love Island Games, which Maura co-hosted.
Irish beauty Maura was tasked with grilling axed Islanders and among them was Curtis and his show partner, Lisa.
Before the cameras started rolling, the pair said a brief hello and asked about each other's families.
It didn't get much better when the action got underway with Maura saying: "Long time no see Curtis, yeah I'm good thanks, how are you?"
At one point Maura teased that Curtis “still has no balls”, to which he responded, “You would know!”
He also brought up the issue of his snoring in the villa, asking: "Do I snore?"
"I don't know," she replied. "I mean I can't remember. It's that long ago, honestly."
We recently revealed Maura fears Curtis could reveal all about their romance in the All Stars villa when it airs next week.
Curtis is part of a bumper line-up which includes Scott Thomas, Catherine Agbaje, Olivia Hawkins and Luca Bish.
It comes after Maura spent Christmas with her Strictly Come Dancing hunk boyfriend Pete Wicks in Ireland.

A source said: “Curtis signing for All Stars is more than awkward for Maura just as she’s fallen for Pete and they’ve finally gone public with their love.
“Her break-up with Curtis wasn’t the best and Maura always worried he’d be the ex that could blab.
“It’s also less than ideal when she’s hoping to build on her I’m A Celebrity profile and advance her career.
“Love Island bosses are in the process of confirming the Islanders who will launch January’s show and Curtis might not make that line-up — but he is in the cast of bombshells to land later in the series.”
