On 27 December 2018, Pritchard and his brother Curtis, along with two others, were attacked in an "unprovoked assault" on a night out in Nantwich. Pritchard suffered bruising to his face, arms, legs and body, while Curtis needed an emergency operation to his knee and would no longer appear on Dancing with the Stars in Ireland in January 2019. A 20-year-old man was arrested and "released under investigation pending further enquiries".[10]
