Love Island 2019 bombshell Maura Higgins has been spotted with Strictly Come Dancing pro Giovanni Pernice for the first time since they started dating.

The pair were seen partying in Blackpool in photos shared by The Sun, after Maura supported Giovanni at his Him & Me dance show on Thursday night last week.

The publication reported that an onlooker said: “They looked totally smitten with each other.

“They were being very touchy-feely and had a smooch on the dance-floor."

The pair have been spotted in various locations in recent weeks.

They raised suspicion from fans when they were both seen to be watching the Italy Euro 2020 match at Wembley.

And they were spotted again when they were seen at a hotel in Cornwall.

Maura, who was born and raised in County Longford, Ireland, used to be a grid girl before shooting to fame in 2019, when she entered the Love Island villa.

The 30-year-old Irish beauty was single up until a matter of weeks ago.

Maura coupled up with her Love Island co-star Chris Taylor in November 2020 when they went Instagram official, after denying relationship speculation in the summer of the same year.
