JILTED Amy Hart messaged Curtis Pritchard’s brother AJ after leaving Love Island.
Fragile Amy, who left the villa after being dumped by Curtis, messaged the Strictly star saying she "feels like she knows the family".
Speaking on Dan Wootton's talkRADIO show, AJ said: "She spoke to me. She sent me a message actually afterwards and said she feels like she knows the family and she could only praise Curtis about being honest.
"I will see her on Sunday I will be doing Aftersun so I will see Amy and the other cast."
AJ, 24, admitted that his brother Curtis, 23, also a dancer, had been "harsh" in his treatment of the lovelorn former stewardess, 26, who had admitted he was her "first love".
Her breakdown in the villa triggered hundreds of Ofcom complaints and forced psychologists to whisk her off set for counselling.
He continued: "Sometimes he was maybe a bit too brutally honest. He could have let her down a bit softer rather than saying 'yes, I don't see myself marrying you and having kids with you'. That was harsh, I'm not lying, it was harsh.
"But it's better to be honest. Rip that bandage off. I think it was best to be straight because you don’t want to play with people's emotions. It's tough enough in there anyway. Everyone feels vulnerable. You're being judged by other people."
Curtis broke up with Amy after he admitted trying to recouple with Jourdan while he was in Casa Amor.
AJ explained that going to the twin villa "gave him time to reflect on the situation and what maybe was happening at hand."
He added: "I think it was like 'Maybe there is something missing'. He wears his heart on his sleeve and runs his life through emotions, you can tell that with him."

Curtis is now getting to know new Islander Francesca and besotted Maura, who he was seen massaging in a steamy scene tonight.
AJ joked: "He was on the bed massaging Maura getting some tight knots out of her shoulders. It’s stressful in the villa. Curtis was just releasing the tension in her body.
"There’s something about Maura. She’s a wild card. I see sometimes a vulnerable side of her that Curtis would be attracted to. But also she throws it on and when she does, it happens!"
