Before appearing on Love Island, Curtis was dating his Dancing With the Stars co-star Emily Barker, who had also been his dance partner between the ages of 12 and 14.
But that’s not the thing that have people curious about Curtis…
Who have people confused Curtis with?
Curtis has been muddled up with comedian Ed Gamble. Ed hosts the popular Off Menu podcast with fellow comedian, James Acaster.
His fellow comedians seem to be the ones pointing out the similarity between the two. And it’s clearly a dangerous game being friends with comedians… They’ve all been bantering him off!
Even Ed’s mum has the two confused, poor lad.
Similarities and differences
Aside from their haircuts and blue eyes, we’re stuggling to see the similarity between these two beefcakes.
They’ve both been blessed with good looks but what else is there?
Check out some pics of the two to see where the similarities lie and where they stop…
