AJ Pritchard’s brother joins Love Island 2019

AJ Pritchard’s older brother will be joining the ‘Love Island’ villa next week.
The ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ professional has proved that his good looks run in the family as his older Curtis Pritchard, 23, has been scouted for the ITV2 dating show and will be entering the love shack in a few days’ time to steal the nation’s heart.
But it’s not all about his handsome looks and flawless body, as Curtis has the moves too as he is a professional dancer on ‘Dancing With the Stars Ireland’.
He said: "I’m going to be me. I don’t have to act like anything, I don’t have to teach anyone how to dance, like my normal job! I can just be myself and have fun."
And he’s not the only one with a famous brother as Tyson Fury’s 20-year-old sibling Tommy has been recruited for the forthcoming series in Majorca, Spain.
He said: "At the end of the day, if I see someone in there that I like that I feel I could have a connection with, I’ll try and pursue that without being an idiot to the other islanders. I’ll do the right thing at the right time and make my opinions known."
Also gracing screens this year is a 28-year-old pharmacist called Anna Vakili from London, who is hoping to bag a "soppy" guy who’s tall, dark and handsome.
She said: "I don’t know if he exists! He would be tall, good- looking, dark hair and dark eyes. He would be fit. Personality wise, he would be loyal, kind and emotional. I like the soppy guys. I’m not into cocky boys at all, I like smart and funny."
And there will no doubt be some squabbling this year as Joe Garratt, a catering company owner, isn’t afraid to get in with a girl who is already paired up.
The 22-year-old hunk explained: "I’ve always said that love is a super powerful thing. If I genuinely feel that connection, the chance for love, then I’ll go leaps and bounds to get that… All is fair in love and war."
But there will be no fighting for cabin crew manager Amy Hart as she’s a strong believer in the "girl code" and is hoping to come away with a few new pals.
The 26-year-old beauty said: "I’m going there to find ‘the one’ but I’m also going there to have an amazing summer and meet amazing friends as well."
A 20-year-old semi-professional rugby player called Sherif Lanre is keen to lighten the mood with his upbeat personality.
He said: "I lift anyone’s mood who is around me, whether that is through trying or not. I feel like if you’re down and around me, you’ll end up being a bit more upbeat. I don’t like to get into conflicts, I would rather spare someone’s feelings."
And he may have already met his humorous match as 21-year-old Amber Gill – a beauty therapist – is adamant she is able to make people laugh with ease.
She explained: "I’ve got a big personality and I get on with people really well. People think I’m funny. I don’t take myself too seriously and I’m always up for a laugh."
Lucie Donlan – a 21-year-old surfer from Newquay – already has the upper hand as she has spoken to former ‘TOWIE’ star Joey Essex "on and off."
The cast also includes a 28-year-old aircraft engineer called Callum MacLeod, a 27-year-old fire fighter called Michael Griffiths, a 23-year-old scientist called Yewande Biala and a 24-year-old gym owner called Anton Danyluk.
‘Love Island’ will air on June 3.
