Curtis told Metro that after celebrating his first year as a WW (Weight Watchers) ambassador, he realises he wasn’t ‘focused’ on keeping his body healthy, which led to his weight gain.
The star admitted he was abused by social media trolls who noticed his weight gain following his appearance in the villa last year.
He said: ‘Obviously with my dancing, I’ve always wanted to have this look and feel about myself and I didn’t have it.

‘And then going into Love Island, putting on a lot of weight and coming out again and being fat-shamed, it was really the perfect time to become an ambassador or WW and join the family.
‘On a truthful note it isn’t nice to say something nasty about someone. It isn’t nice to do and be on the receiving end. But you know what, look at me now.’
Since overhauling his diet and fitness regime, Curtis has lost a stone, and isn’t shy of flaunting his trim new physique in a range of social media snaps.
