It’s all over! It appears Amy’s heartbreak is only set to continue as Curtis shockingly dumped his former partner after telling her he ‘can’t promise’ that his head won’t be turned again
The professional dancer dropped a bombshell earlier this week when he told new girl Jourdan that he would couple up with her over half-girlfriend Amy.
When Amy got wind of the news, she began making a list of 50 questions to ask Curtis about his feelings before insisting that she now needed some space.
However despite Amy’s reluctance to call it quits on their romance, Curtis turned the tables and ended their relationship during the explosive scenes.
Amy sat Curtis down and told him that she doesn’t think he ever really liked her, using Tommy and Molly-Mae as an example because they ‘chat all night’.
She also mentioned that he never wants to stay in bed with her in the morning, choosing instead to get up and make the entire villa a coffee.
Amy continued: ‘You were willing to throw away for weeks for two chats, she must be bloody special.. even if you think you like me you don’t, that breaks my heart.’

The 26-year-old then recollected the events of the Casa Amor recoupling, revealing how happy she was to see Curtis standing alone, before finding out he had plans to recouple with Jourdan.
She added: ‘You knew it would break my heart and you still did it.’
In an apparent attempt to reassure her, Curtis said: ‘I always said that you’re amazing’, while Amy confessed that’s what she had been holding onto in the other villa.’
Curtis replied: I can see a future, you’re fantastic, everything I’ve said I’ve meant.’

Amy then said: ‘I want to be civil but I need a break but if you need a break you need to think about whether I’m actually what you want.’
However things then took an uncertain turn as Amy told Curtis to ‘rip the band aid off’.
Curtis then shockingly turned around and said: ‘I’ve meant everything I’ve said, but I can’t promise you that this won’t happen again. I’m sorry for everything that I’ve done to you. Say whatever you want about me.’
Clearly gutted by his admission, Amy exclaimed: ‘How can you go from wanting a future to this… you’re a compulsive liar’, before storming off.

Earlier in the day, Amy was shocked to find that Curtis told Jourdan he would be happy to recouple with her over the air hostess despiteonly had two conversations ever.
Jourdan told Amy that he listed pros and cons for both girls, telling her that she was bubbly and fun, which is something that he liked about her.
Amy then interjected and said she was adding Jourdan’s points to her list, which she planned to confront Curtis with later in the day.
Amy appeared heartbroken when she leaned that Curtis had told Jourdan that she was ‘beautiful’, as she admitted: ‘He’s never said that to me’.
In an epic teaser for Friday night’s episode, it appears that Curtis isn’t short of new admirers as Maura seemed to reveal her hidden crush on the dancer.
Although she doesn’t specifically say that the man she has her eye on his Curtis, it is suggested by her language that she intends to make a play for him.
The Irish beauty told her pal Lucie that she loves a certain man’s smile and added that she hopes he is able to teach her to dance, before an image of Curtis flashed on screen.
However the voice over for the show left the question hanging, and suggested that it could be another professional dancer that she fancies.
