I’m A Celeb hero Maura and Curtis met on Love Island in 2019 and dated for eight months.

Maura is now loved-up with Towie legend Pete Wicks, while her ex is single after dumping his girlfriend Sophie Sheridan, shortly before signing up to All Stars.

The Sun previously revealed how the jungle star fears Curtis could spill the beans on their romance.

And it now appears she has good reason to be concerned.

Speaking exclusively to The Sun, we asked Curtis if he had “made a deal” with Maura that he wouldn’t talk about her on the show – as her other ex, Chris Taylor, had done this before going on Love Island All Stars last year.

However, he said this wasn’t the case.

“I haven’t spoke to her in a long time so that’s really…if they have a deal like that then they have a deal like that, really,” he told us.

“You know, we work differently.”

The Sun also took the chance to ask him about THAT awkward interview with Maura after he took part in the Love Island Games.

The Irish beauty was presenting the show with Maya Jama, and Curtis was talking part.

When asked if the chat was really as awks as it seemed, Curtis shrugged it off and said: “I didn’t really find anything awkward.

“To be fair, you know I like to talk to everybody and anybody.

“I don’t think I’m an awkward person to talk to.

Asked if they spoke after the interview wrapped, he said: “Oh so it’s ever such a go go go. situation on these programs so you never get time to do anything. really you’ve got to.

“You’ve got your chaperone with you or this and that with you and it’s oh off you go off you go so there’s no time for anything.”

Meanwhile, Curtis’ reappearance on Love Island is bad timing for Maura, who is loved up with Strictly Come Dancing hunk Pete Wicks — spending Christmas with the 36-year-old in her native Ireland.

A source previously told us: “Curtis signing for All Stars is more than awkward for Maura just as she’s fallen for Pete and they’ve finally gone public with their love.

“Her break-up with Curtis wasn’t the best and Maura always worried he’d be the ex that could blab.

“It’s also less than ideal when she’s hoping to build on her I’m A Celebrity profile and advance her career.
