Love Island viewers saw Curtis getting close to Amy during a sweet first date on Wednesday night's episode.
And after telling his new romantic interest about his three year relationship with his former dance partner during their dinner date, it's been revealed just how much Curtis' ex looks like Amy.
Curtis, 23, and Emily, 22, were dance partners as children before reconnecting later in life professionally and beginning a romance which ended late last year.

Curtis' Instagram page is still full of photos of blonde Emily, including one loved-up snap with the caption: 'Home is to look into the eyes of someone you love' @emilybarker123 #love.'
In an ITV interview ahead of his Love Island debut, Curtis explained he had had one long-term romance: 'My ex-girlfriend was my dance partner. We danced with each other from when we were 12 until we were 14, we were the champions.
'When we got older we got into a relationship. You spend a lot of time with each other when you’re dancing together. You’re always in a close proximity so it would be weird not to get feelings even if it’s just to be a best friend or if it’s to fall in love.'
