Dancing on Ice’s Maura Higgins cries in corner during boozy row with boyfriend Curtis Pritchard at NTAs
DANCING On Ice’s Maura Higgins was reduced to tears and was seen sobbing in a corner as her boyfriend, star of the BBC’s Greatest Dancer, Curtis Pritchard, 23, shouted at her during the NTA’s boozy after-party.
The couple were kept apart by pals after Maura became angered by Curtis’ excessive drinking when they had finished hosting the backstage interviews during the star-studded ceremony.
It comes just two weeks after Curtis was forced to deny cheating on Maura during a night out.
Through tears, the beauty, who started dating Curtis last year after they met in the Love Island villa branded him a “user” and claimed she felt like a d**k for trusting him.
She was also heard venting about how the pair landed the presenting gig for ITV and moaned to pals: “He said I only got the NTAs gig because of him. It was actually my management that sorted it.”
She added: “He likes to think that he is the one people are after him not me.
"He’s totally ruined my night.”
Minders were seen trying to escort Curtis out of the party but he refused to leave and was pictured downing glasses of white wine with other reality stars.
The pro dancer also appeared unable to stand without support and when he went outside to the smoking area didn’t see Maura because he was too intoxicated.
An onlooker said: “Things were clearly very frosty between them.
