It's curtain time for AJ Pritchard and his acting career after deciding to throw in the towel after one stint, however brother Curtis has been spurred on by the criticism
It seems it's 'once bitten, twice shy' for ex-professional Strictly dancer AJ Pritchard as he confirms that he's done with acting.
The sibling pair starred as dancer brothers Marco and Jacob but their appearance was marred by criticism from various soap actors who were adamant that casting should be selected based on talent and not social media followers. Others were also quick to jump on the vicious bandwagon, with Parry Glasspool who plated Harry Thompson on the Channel 4 soap from 2013 to 2019 reached for his Instagram stories at the time to comment: "As if budding actors didn't struggle enough, now they have to compete with folks with zero interest in acting, but have s*** tone of followers.
Focusing on "being fit, healthy and positive" he admitted he's spending more time building his YouTube content, and launching a new business.
