CELEBS Go Dating star Rob Beckett appeared to predict the break-up of of reality show power couple Maura Higgins and Curtis Pritchard.
The news of the Love Island couple’s split came just minutes after the comedian and voiceover man joked that the ballroom dancer would be joining the show next year.
In a case of very suspicious timing the comedian predicted The Greatest Dancer receptionist would feature on the popular reality show in its next season.
Rob’s comment came during an exchange between his former Love Island flames Francesca Allen and Amy Hart, who is trying to find love on Celebs Go Dating.
The pair bonded about their experiences with Curtis over a glass of red wine.
“For those who don’t know who Curtis Pritchard is, I imagine you’ll meet him on the next series of Celebs Go Dating,” Rob joked in the voice over.
Curtis, 24, dated Maura, 29, for seven months after they left villa but they both denied rumours they’d broken up after they had not been pictured together for more than a month.
Social media users got it right when they guessed Maura and Curtis split, after the pair had been spotted on boozy nights out without each other.
Despite the evidence, the couple denied they had broken up only hours before Maura took to Instagram to confirm the rumours.
Just mere moments after Beckett’s comments on last night’s Celebs Go Dating, Maura announced their breakup.
The Dancing On Ice star wrote: “Curtis and I have made the decision to separate. We enjoyed a great experience from our time in the villa and want to thank everyone for supporting our relationship.”
The couple’s busy schedules made it difficult for them to see each other, with Maura saying there was no bad feelings on either side.
But some savvy Celebs Go Dating viewers couldn’t help but notice the timing between Beckett’s joke and the Maura’s post.
One wrote: “Nah this isn’t a coincidence.
“I was just thinking about how good Curtis Pritchard would be on Celebs Go Dating and just a couple minutes ago, Rob Beckett makes a joke about how we’ll see him on the next series. And I find out that Curtis & Maura have just spilt.”
Another user wrote: “Oh is Rob Beckett psychic? There’s a very high chance Curtis or Maura will be on the next season.”
A stint on Celebs Go Dating could be a natural move for the reality show veteran who has also starred on Drag Race UK and Dancing With The Stars Ireland.
