CURTIS Pritchard has posted a cryptic comment about “telling the truth” in the wake of his recent split from Love Island ex Maura Higgins.
The 24-year-old dancer made the remark as the former couple’s continued to throw digs at each other on Instagram.
Curtis ran into the audience at the AJ Live tour where he is dancing with his Strictly brother, and took a selfie with his parents Adrian and Debi.
He captioned his photo: “Quickly just ran up to get a photo before the show started. I can always rely on mum and dad to support me and tell the truth…. will the dancing be up to their standard, that is the question?”
Last week, Curtis had a dig at ex girlfriend Maura Higgins as he posed with his “family who always support me.”
The Love Islander made the defiant move after his ex posted a cryptic comment saying she had “given up you.”

His brother commented beneath his photo: “Always Support each other.. ”
But other fans weren’t so nice, as people took sides in his break-up with 29-year-old star Maura.
Maura had already shared a discreet dig at Curtis on social media
One follower blasted: “Its a shame both chosen a dig at each other on social media.”
Another said to Curtis: “It’s not all about you though.”
And one more wrote: “Tit for tat now innit….”
Maura had lashed out on Twitter and said: “A strong women never gives up on herself, but she may give up on you” followed by a white heart.

One follower wrote: “You forgot to add ‘Dear Curtis’.”
The star explained on Monday night that she and Curtis had called time on their seven-month relationship, which was born in the Love Island villa last summer.
Writing on Instagram, she said: “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.
“There is no easy way to get through a breakup and no bad feeling on either side. We tried to make it work but it wasn’t to be and I wish Curtis nothing but the best for the future.”
She signed off with a large emoji of a broken love heart.
Maura and Alex were eliminated from Dancing On Ice last month

The Sun revealed this week that Maura split with co-star Curtis over rows about her closeness with professional skater Alexander Demetriou.
A source said: “Maura spent hours and hours with Alex in rehearsals for weeks and they have got really close. They have grown very friendly and it’s not gone unnoticed with the rest of the cast and crew — or Carlotta. She is furious about their increasingly cosy relationship which has continued despite Maura being knocked out of the competition. There are clearly some feelings there which Maura can’t help.”
All three are expected to be at Sunday evening’s final.
