They're the most backed couple to win since last night's episode.
Curtis Pritchard and Maura Higgins have had their odds of winning Love Island slashed from 22/1 as far as 7/1 since last night’s antics.
Prices tumbled after revelations from Maura about her supposedly deep-lying feelings for Curtis, which culminated in the Irish ring girl pulling him for a chat to reveal all during last night’s show.
The pair were seen practicing their cha-cha-cha by the pool as Maura waltzed right to the top of Curtis’ coffee list.
Punters have reacted accordingly, with new second favourites Curtis and Maura the most backed in the last 24 hours having accrued 38% of bets on the market.
The professional ballroom dancer dramatically split from Amy Hart after ‘having his head turned’ by new girl Jourdan.
Curtis is still officially coupled up with Amy for now, but it looks like Maura could have caught his eye and bookies are taking no chances.
Elsewhere, Tommy and Molly remain the clear favourites at a best price of 5/18. Jordan and Anna are the other big movers in the market, into as short as 16/1 after they rekindled their romance last night.
Oddschecker spokesperson Callum Wilson: "Having dodged Amy's advances of a dance for a whole month, Curtis' head spun like *a* pirouetting ballerina at the chance to get up *close* and personal with Maura at the first opportunity.
"That's resulted in a whopping 38% of bets backing the unlikely duo getting to grips with more than a simple Riverdance."
