Curtis Pritchard discussed his recent breakup ahead of entering Love Island All Stars villa in January 2025. The 28-year-old professional dancer arrived at the South African villa alongside Catherine Agbaje. When host Maya Jama asked about his relationship status, Pritchard revealed his September 2024 split. In an interview with The Sun magazine, he expanded on the situation:
"I broke up with my ex just before I started my Come What May tour, so I think that was in September. Like I said, my last that relationship she was amazing, absolutely unbelievable and whoever she ends up with, will be a very very lucky person."

Relationship timeline
The initial spark between Love Island All Stars contestant and Sophie Sheridan ignited at the Wolverhampton Grand Theatre during winter 2021. Pritchard took on the role of Dandini while Sheridan performed as part of the ensemble cast in their Cinderella production. Both brought extensive performing arts experience to the stage. Their shared background created immediate common ground, as they spent long hours rehearsing and performing together.
March 2022 marked their first major public outing as a couple at Cheltenham races. Sources at the event told The Sun about their clear affection for each other. "Curtis and Sophie looked close as they walked around the racecourse together," an insider revealed to the publication. They attended the event alongside Curtis's brother AJ Pritchard and his partner at the time.
The couple made regular appearances at theatre events throughout London and Manchester. Each supported the other's professional endeavors, with Sophie attending Love Island All Stars contestant’s dance performances while he watched her theatre shows.

Their relationship maintained a steady presence in the media through 2023 and early 2024. Public sightings included multiple red carpet-events and industry gatherings. The pair shared moments from their relationship on social media, though they kept many aspects of their connection private.
Their last significant public appearance came at the Priscilla Party in the summer of 2024. During this period, they continued attending industry functions as a couple. Their social media remained active with shared moments until late August 2024.
