WHEN he and his brother were set upon in a brutal nightclub attack 18 months ago, Curtis Pritchard feared he would never dance again.
While sibling AJ, 25, from BBC1’s Strictly Come Dancing, escaped with cuts and bruises, 24-year-old Curtis needed emergency knee surgery.
And the former pro on Ireland’s Dancing With The Stars, who came fourth on Love Island last year with Maura Higgins, credits the NHS with saving his career.
He says: “Honestly, the NHS were just so incredible. From the ambulance to the hospital to the after-care, I couldn’t fault the amazing medical staff. “I had to have a knee operation quite quickly, and naturally I was worried I wouldn’t be able to dance again.
