Love Island All Stars' Curtis Pritchard has already indulged in luxury before the show starts.
The 28-year-old reality TV star and ballroom dancer arrived in South Africa to prepare for the spin-off show, where he'll join Gabby Allen, Kaz Crossley, Nas Majeed, and others in another attempt at finding love.
However, before entering the villa, Curtis treated himself to an upgrade. He was spotted checking into the luxury desk for a Virgin Atlantic flight at Heathrow Airport, opting for upper class while his fellow contestants flew premium economy with British Airways, the Mirror reports.
According to the Sun, Curtis used his own money to upgrade to the fancier seats. During his initial stint on Love Island in 2019, Curtis gained fame for making coffees in the morning, which became a viral moment.
Speaking about his All Stars appearance, he said: "I feel like I'm in a different stage in my life. The idea of settling down is a serious idea in my life right now. I haven't found my true love... that sounds so cheesy doesn't it.
"So, I thought, let's give it another go. It was great fun last time; a lot of emotions. I feel excited to go back. I'm going to have a great fun time and hopefully leave with someone. It's exciting."

When asked if his comment followed him everywhere, he responded: "It follows me everywhere! In hindsight, if I do find a girl this time, I will perhaps cuddle her in bed rather than make coffee... so Amy taught me a lesson."
Curtis reportedly seized the opportunity after parting ways with his partner Sophie Sheridan towards the end of last year. In 2019, he was initially paired with Amy Hart but ended up reaching the final with Maura Higgins, whom he dated for eight months post-series.
The former Celebs Go Dating cast member later appeared on Love Island Games and was briefly paired with Lisa Celander. However, they were both evicted from the villa less than a week into the show.
Curtis' most recent relationship was with performer Sophie, who he is believed to have met when they starred in a pantomime production of Cinderella in Wolverhampton in 2021. There was speculation about a potential romance between them the following year and it was reported that they rekindled their connection following his stint on Love Island Games.

However, it's his ex Maura who is most concerned about his appearance on Love Island All Stars, especially given her new relationship with Pete Wicks.
A source revealed to The Sun: "Curtis signing for All Stars is more than awkward for Maura just as she's fallen for Pete and they've finally gone public with their love. Her break up with Curtis wasn't the best and Maura always worried he'd be the ex that could blab. It's also less than ideal when she's hoping to build on her I'm A Celebrity profile and advance her career."
