Former Love Island contestant reveals romance with Strictly Come Dancing ace

Former Love Island contestant Maura Higgins has revealed to her 3.2 million Instagram followers her new love interest - and it's another famous face from British television.

The 30-year old, who finished fourth in season five on the ITV show alongside Curtis Pritchard, is dating BBC's Strictly Come Dancing star Giovanni Pernice.

Posting on the social media platform, alongside of photograph of their embrace, she simply said 'I'm yours', tagging the Italian dancer.

Penrice, meanwhile, also took to Instagram with his own post, stating 'You're mine'.

Several fellow former Love Island contestants were quick to offer their congratulations to the pair, including Molly-Mae Hague, Lucie Donlan and Luke Mabbott.

Higgins, who has also appeared on Dancing on Ice, had previously been in a relationship with another former contestant in Chris Taylor, but the couple split last year.
