Good Morning Britain host Adil Ray has been criticised for pushing Curtis Pritchard to “label his sexuality” during a particularly awkward interview today.
The Love Island star’s sexuality has been a hot topic as of late, after he recently said he wouldn’t rule out dating a man in the future.
During an interview on GMB this morning, Curtis was once again pressed about his sexuality, and Adil asked him, “Are you saying you are bisexual?”
Curtis replied: “I’m not labelling anything, I don’t feel like I have to. Everyone puts labels on it. What I have learned from the villa is heads get turned.”

The interview then took an awkward turn when Adil suggested that bisexual men who have found it difficult to reveal their sexuality may find his stance confusing.
In response, Curtis said: “I don’t feel like I’m going to label anything, because I don’t think that is the wrong thing to do.”
After his interview aired, viewers took to Twitter to slam the show’s host for pushing Curtis to label his sexuality.
Why is the media hell bent on forcing @CurtisPritchard to discuss his sexuality? His life his choice if he has anything to say it should be in his own time not forced out of him for viewing figures. #GMB he should stop doing these interviews for his own sanity

Why should Curtis label his sexuality?! Shame on the presenters for pressuring him so much! You want him to label himself so it’s easier for you to understand! #gmb

Who cares if #loveisland Curtis likes men and women. That is his choice and no one else’s business. Bit annoyed with #gmb trying to get him to confirm it. FFS! Get back to the real news! ????

This is honestly so boring. Who cares if Curtis (in the future) wants to have a relationship with a man? Why is he essentially being forced to label his sexuality?! He’s in a relationship with a girl, let him get on with his life. #GoodMorningBritain #GMB pic.twitter.com/Tn7PB8TAKP
