<\/p>\nCURTIS Pritchard was quizzed by ex Maura Higgins after being booted out of Love Island The Games in a very awkward moment.<\/p>\n
The lad, who has just left the spin-off show she works on, broke a deafening silence by asking: "How's the family?"<\/p>\n
\n
\n<\/p>\n
It was the first time they had worked together since dating for nine months after leaving Love Island in 2019.<\/p>\n
Their split in 2020 turned bitter when Curtis was accused of cheating on Maura and she then grew close to her Dancing on Ice partner Alex.<\/p>\n
The exes have now had one of the most awkward encounters ever witnessed on TV after she was forced to interview him.<\/p>\n
In a clip shared online, Maura and Curtis stumble through their "hellos" before the director shouts "action".<\/p>\n
Maura says: "Hello everyone I'm now joined by our next Islander to leave the villa, who is the lovely Lisa's partner, Curtis.<\/p>\n "Long time no see Curtis, yeah I'm good thanks, how are you?"<\/p>\n Curtis said he was "gutted to be out" as Maura continued: "Because you're obviously a competetive person. <\/p>\n "You were coupled up with Lisa, but you were clearly getting to know some of the other girls, a lot of flirting going on." <\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Curtis said he was keen to meet "the one" and Maura said: "Oh you went in there to find love? Are you gutted you didn't? Or are you kicking yourself for not exploring more?"<\/p>\n "I'm gutted I didn't go in stronger," he replied.<\/p>\n "I didn't have a deep connection with Lisa."<\/p>\n "Oh so nothing is happening with Lisa?" Maura probed.<\/p>\n At one point Maura teased that Curtis \u201cstill has no balls\u201d, to which he responded, \u201cYou would know!\u201d<\/p>\n He also brought up the issue of his snoring in the villa, asking: "Do I snore?"<\/p>\n "I don't know," she replied. "I mean I can't remember. It's that long ago, honestly."<\/p>\n The new Love Island spin-off show sees past villa legends from around the world coming together for the ultimate reality show.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/GIF-COMP-Dustin_1.gif?strip=all&w=360&h=240&crop=1\"\/)
