Curtis Pritchard’s mum, Debi, has come to her son’s defence amidst the ongoing tension in the villa with Elma Pazar and Sammy Root. The drama escalated after Ekin-Su Culculoglu shared a peck with Sammy during the heart-rate challenge, leading to an apology from Ekin-Su but unresolved issues between the couples. In Thursday’s episode, things heated up as Elma, Gabby, and Catherine concluded that “Curtis was the problem,” a comment Curtis overheard. Elma also expressed her disappointment to Ekin-Su, saying: “I find Curtis very jarring… it’s a shame to me that we lost a friendship that I actually believed we were getting back,” insisting it was ‘never about Ekin’.

With the final just around the corner and voting open to save the favourite couple, Debi Pritchard took to Instagram to rally support for Curtis and Ekin-Su, pleading: “Guys, if anybody’s watching Love Island, can you vote for Curtis and Ekin on the app – you’ve got ten minutes. They deserve – they have suffered so much abuse for no reason whatsoever, please, please vote for them.” Despite a rocky start to the day for Curtis and Ekin, they finished on a high note after being crowned joint winners of the talent show. Ekin-Su stunned her fellow stars with her remarkable piano skills, while Curtis once again impressed with his dance moves.

After the Islanders voted for them both to win, the couple were rewarded with a much-needed night in the hideaway. While this was Ekin’s first time in the infamous room, Curtis had previously been there with bombshell Danielle, which nearly ended their relationship, reports the Mirror. However, things might not stay rosy for long, as Friday night’s episode will reveal a ‘savage twist’ for the Islanders. They’ll discover that at least one couple will be eliminated just days before Monday’s final. The Islanders will receive the text after enjoying their first Valentines Day together – after the boys receive their video calls from home. Curtis gets to chat to his brother, Strictly Come Dancing star AJ Pritchard. Asking on his opinion on himself and Ekin, AJ responds: “100% it’s really nice to see you actually grow as a couple.” But it won’t be a typical dumping – the decision will be made by the dumped Islanders who will make a dramatic return to the villa. The Islanders will find out which couples are in the bottom three via text, and the fate of those at risk will be decided by their ex-Islanders….
