CURTIS Pritchard was left red-faced after he accidentally revealed that he's still single after a failed stint on Celebs Go Dating.

The new series of the E4 show is set to launch tonight, but the 24-year-old star has removed all suspense over whether or not he found love in a live TV blunder this morning.

The former Love Island contestant and his brother AJ appeared on Lorraine today to discuss their various ventures.

When asked about Celebs Go Dating by the host, Curtis replied: "I don't normally watch myself back on TV but I cannot wait to watch this tonight.

"There's so many embarrassing moments and so many good moments as well."

Seemingly caught up in the moment - and forgetting that he was on live TV - Curtis continued: "I am looking for love, I'm single so…"

Realising what he'd done, the star stuttered: "Well actually… I'm not going to say that…

"I've just given that away."

When the camera cut back to the brothers, Curtis was bright red and had his head in his hands as he awkwardly laughed at the gaffe.

Brother AJ expertly took over as he moved the conversation along, with Lorraine cheekily teasing the hunk as the conversation came to an end.

She quipped: "So you can not confirm or deny that you are going out with one of them, we will leave it there for people to watch."

Curtis flushed red once again as he and AJ sheepishly giggled together.

This series of Celebs Go Dating saw all of the stars move into a Surrey mansion together so that they could form a bubble for filming amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

Unlike in previous years, the celebrities will be living among their dates in the mansion.

And The Sun revealed earlier this month that show bosses are allowing contestants to skulk away to a cottage in the grounds of the £30million estate if they make a “connection” with their prospective love interests.

In addition to Curtis, celebs who are taking part in the show include Chloe Ferry, Wayne Lineker, Tom Zanetti, Karim Zeroual, Kimberly Hart-Simpson, and Sophie Hermann.

He then reached the series finale with Maura Higgins, but the pair split last year.
