Professional ballroom dancer Curtis Pritchard is a surprise inclusion among the 12 singletons hoping to find love during their summer long stay on the picturesque island of Mallorca.
The Love Island presenter was seen looking extremely cosy with AJ, who at 24 is 15-years her junior, while letting their hair down at the star-studded ceremony’s after-party.

Sources later claimed the pair had even shared a kiss, although neither party confirmed their connection is anything more than platonic.
Following her split from fiancé Andrew Brady in 2018, the host, who won Strictly in 2014, has remained relatively guarded over her relationship status, while AJ's love life is curiously shrouded in mystery.
It is not the first time Caroline has enjoyed an age gap romance after dating Harry Styles when he was 17 and she was 32.

Sharing her pearls of wisdom as host of the show, Caroline said: 'Love doesn’t happen easily, it happens over time and don’t worry if you don’t fancy someone at the beginning, you might fancy them by week two.
'People often talk about how they relate to the dating dilemmas they see in the villa, we all feel that we’ve been there at some point.'
When asked if she has ever spotted a Love Island romance before it’s happened, Caroline joked: 'I can’t even match-make myself! So no, no one should rely on me to match-make them.
'I will just host the show and talk all about it!'
