The provocative comedian asked: "Are you still in love?" to which Maura replied: "Yeah, we're still together."

Keith pressed: "But is it loving?" and Maura doubled-down: "We're together."

"Are you happy together?" Keith asked, with Maura saying they were.

He then followed it up with: "How long do you have to stay with him, contractually?"

Maura says: "Not everyone's still together, you don't get told [how long to stay together]."

Team captain Holly Willoughby jumps to her defence, pointing out that the winners Amber Gill and Greg O'Shea aren't together.

Both Curtis and Maura have insisted they want to take their relationship slowly.

The pair only just made their relationship official, after Curtis whisked them away on a romantic trip away to ask.

Despite officially becoming boyfriend and girlfriend, the fledgling couple are struggling to find time for each other.

In fact, their work schedules are so busy Curtis can't take Maura on holiday until next year.

Speaking to The Sun Online, Curtis said: "We would love to go on holiday together but it's not happening.

"Maura has Dancing On Ice and hopefully she makes it to the final. And then I'm working solidly up until July.

"I've got a pantomime at the end of the year, then I'm on AJ's tour and I've got the Greatest Dancer. I'm also working on another show too. I love to work."

Maura will appear on ITV's Dancing On Ice next year. Her partner hasn't been announced yet.
