"Terrorizing the girls" — Love Island: All Stars fans react to Curtis raising most women's heart rates

Love Island: All Stars season 2 aired episode 22 on February 3, 2025. It saw the islanders participate in the franchise's renowned game, the Heart Rate Challenge. Curtis recreated his samba performance from his Love Island stint in 2019, channeling his inner King Julien from Madagascar. His act raised the heart rates of all the women but Tina and Danielle, making him the most successful.

Curtis, a professional dancer, donned sparkly blue shorts with a feathered headdress and left a lasting impression on the female islanders. His act included lifts, turns, jumps, knee-slides and more, which kept the ladies entertained. However, he dedicated most of his time to his partner, Ekin-Su, impressing her.

Curtis' high-energy performance made the female cast members scream and run from their seats. By the end of his act, the women were left in shock, while the male cast members cheered for him.

"No, I'm dying! I'm dying!" Catherine exclaimed.

Love Island: All Stars fans took to X to comment on Curtis' high-energy performance and its results. While many claimed the ladies' heart rates were raised out of shock and fear, some compared him to King Julien's character.
