He said: ‘She wasn’t my usual type, dead hot, fiery character and behind closed doors I’m a fiery character – in dance you have to be – and in the bedroom and stuff I am like that a little bit you know.’
Curtis and Maura dated for nine months after meeting on the show but went their separate ways in March last year.
Maura announced her romance with Chris last November, and reflecting on the relationship, Curtis said: ‘Then with Maura it started to go downhill a little bit.
‘She is now in a relationship with her ‘best friend’ who came into Love Island and stated that he fancied Maura.’

Curtis put his hands up in quote marks when he said best friend, hinting at his feelings towards his ex’s new romance.
Dating expert Anna Williamson told Curtis: ‘This baggage you’re carrying, we can see how hurt you have been.’
When Maura and Chris revealed their romance, Curtis revealed he felt ‘hurt’ and ‘betrayed’ after she shared news that she had moved on with their co-star
Speaking to The Sun, he said: ‘I feel betrayed by them both — two people I was very close to. When I saw the pictures, I’d be lying if I said I didn’t feel hurt. I was upset. How long has this truly been going on for?’
He explained: ‘If you look back on everything — and I am looking back on it now — I’m like, ‘Curtis, all the signs were bloomin’ there, why didn’t you realise then?’
