“At the time I was accused of cheating, but I never did. I was always faithful to Maura,” he exclusively tells The Sun.

“The worst thing is the amount of hate and trash that was thrown at me when we split – there were so many accusations about me, even though nothing ever happened.”

The Sun exclusively revealed photos that prove that Curtis is now more than just “friends” with the blonde he was accused of cheating with behind ex Maura’s back.

Curtis and Amber Pierson couldn’t keep their hands off each other as they walked together through a park in London.

Curtis took Amber on a double date in August with ex-Strictly star brother AJ, 25, and his girlfriend Abbie Quinnen – shortly after his split from Maura.

The 29-year-old Irish star recently took a swipe at Curtis after a Love Island fan slammed the ballroom dancer on social media.

Maura liked a tweet calling her ex Curtis “a villain” after he kissed the girl he was accused of cheating on her with.

The Love Islander even took to social media to vent her anguish.

There was previously speculation about Curtis’ relationship with Amber, and Irish beauty Maura is raging that she didn’t “follow her gut”.

Maura tweeted, “The truth always comes out in the end” then posted on Instagram: “Always trust your first gut instincts. If you genuinely feel in your heart and soul that something is wrong, it usually is.”

A source told us: “Maura feels humiliated, as she had suspicions of Curtis cheating and believes now she should have trusted her gut feeling at the time. She feels she stayed in the relationship too long and should have cut ties when she started to have doubts.

“Curtis is adamant his relationship with Maura ended long before his romance started with Amber.

An insider said: “It’s game over for Curtis and Amber pretending they are just pals. Their ‘friends’ line fooled no one.”
