Recreating his most iconic Love Island moment, Curtis channelled his inner King Julien from Madagascar after his 2019 Heart Rate challenge performance.
Curtis, who is a professional dancer, made quite the impression during his racy performance six years ago.
Viewers compared Curtis to Madagascar's King Julien after he donned some sparkly pink hot pants and a flamboyant feather headdress.
Compared to the lemur when he first did the Heart Rate challenge all those years ago, Curtis decided to channel King Julien once again.

Rocking some blue shiny shorts, which were tightly fitted and left very little to the imagination, Curtis also rocked a huge feathery headdress in a blue hue.
Thrusting in the girls' faces, twerking and moving his body seductively, Curtis then knee slid on the floor leaving his co-stars and viewers at home gobsmaked.
"Did that man just knee slide on wood???" asked one person on Instagram.

While a sixth said: "Not Curtis recycling his series costume."
When Curtis was originally compared to the Madagascar character, he was also fat-shamed - something he opened up about to ahead of his All Stars villa stint last month.
