Curtis Pritchard thanks trolls for fat-shaming after weight loss transformation

Curtis Pritchard has opened up about his weight loss journey, thanking online trolls for fat-shaming him as it motivated him to make a change. The 24-year-old Love Island star, who appeared on the 2019 series of the ITV2 show, has been showing off his body transformation after joining Weight Watchers one year ago.

In an interview with Metro.co.uk, the professional dancer said he had always been focused on his diet and body, but not always in the correct way. After leaving the villa and being fat-shamed, he became an ambassador for WW (Weight Watchers). He said: 'On a truthful note it isn't nice to say something nasty about someone. It isn't nice to do and be on the receiving end. But you know what, look at me now.'

Curtis added that he is now 'so positive and confident' in how he looks and feels, and thanked the trolls for helping him focus. He said: 'I can only say thank you to them because it changed the way I am. But obviously it's not nice when that stuff happens and I would never wish that on anyone.'
