Curtis and Maura’s split was predicted on Celebs Go Dating last night as Rob Beckett joked he’s joining the show
CELEBS Go Dating voiceover star Rob Beckett appeared to predict the break-up of Maura Higgins and Curtis Pritchard on last night's show.
News the Love Island couple had split came just minutes after the comedian joked that the ballroom dancer would be joining the show next year.
Rob's comment came during an exchange between Curtis' former Love Island flames Francesca Allen and Amy Hart, who is trying to find love on the dating show.
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 voiceover.
Curtis, 24, dated Maura, 29, for seven months after they left the villa.
Social media users started asking if the pair had split after they'd not been pictured together for more than a month and were then spotted on boozy nights out without each other.
Despite the evidence, the couple yesterday denied they had split only for Maura to later confirm the rumours on Instagram.
Her announcement came just moments after Rob's scarily accurate comments on Celebs Go Dating.
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.
