He's probably seen how much Curtis has managed to make compared to him from just doing 8 weeks on Love Island compared to the effort they have to go to on Strictly for a much weaker pay packet. I get the impression (I could be wrong) that the BBC are very strict with their stars' contracts in terms of what extra work they can do etc (for example on EastEnders Danny Dyer is allowed to do other shows with the BBC but was refused to do any with Dani Love Island related, whilst Jacqueline Jossa declined an invitation to go back to it because they wouldn't allow her to earn money from Instagram sponsorships and the like).
