The former 'Love Island' star is set to follow the slimming company's health eating plan to shed some pounds, after previously admitting he put on around two stone during his time on the ITV2 dating show.

A source told The Sun newspaper's Bizarre TV column: "Curtis is delighted with the deal and can't wait to get started on the healthy recipes.

"He wants to feel confident in his swimwear again and get a six-pack again like his brother AJ."

Last month, the pro dancer admitted he piled on the pounds in the villa because he was "enjoying himself" and not exercising much.

He said: "I gained around two stone. I enjoyed myself in the villa and I didn't exercise a lot.

"I liked to treat myself every now and again with food. I'm hoping to start training again soon. I find it good, physically and mentally. I need to sort my diet out, that's the main thing."

And the 23-year-old star - who is dating fellow 'Love Island' star Maura Higgins - is hoping his 'Strictly Come Dancing' pro dancer brother AJ Pritchard can give him some advice about getting a six-pack back.

He added: "You can work out but if you don't have a meal plan with a decent diet you've got no chance.

"Hopefully AJ will give me some tips on getting a six-pack back."

Earlier this month, Curtis praised his family for "always supporting" him, and admitted his mum sometimes writes things down to help with his dyslexia.

He said: "My family have always supported me in a massive way ... everyone in life has strengths and weaknesses. My weakness is being dyslexic, slightly.

"I focus on my strengths a little bit more sometimes and I know I can speak quite well so I turn everything in my speaking.

"So, I don't have to write everything down. I will go 'Mum, can you write this down instead of me, you can write it faster or spell it a bit faster.' "
