Love Island's Maura Higgins and Strictly's Giovanni Pernice enjoy night at 5-star hotel

Love Island beauty Maura Higgins and Strictly Come Dancing star Giovanni Pernice checked into an ultra swanky hotel on Sunday afternoon.

Posting to her Instagram Stories, 30-year-old Maura revealed that the loved-up pair were enjoying a stay at the Shangri-La in London, the luxury five star hotel that is located in The Shard.

"Dear Ms. Higgins & Mr. Pernice," a message from the swanky hotel written on the star's bedroom window began.

"Welcome in the clouds! Wishing you a magical stay."

Clearly already impressed with the romantic getaway, the Irish stunner then went on to share a breathtaking view from her home for the evening.

Posting a short clip to her 3.3 million followers, Maura captured the scene perfectly as she filmed the stunning sights of London from her skyscraper abode.

Beau Giovanni seemed to be equally as impressed with their romantic getaway together, also sharing some snaps with his fans online.

The Strictly dancer posted a stunning shot of his beautiful girlfriend nursing a glass of fizz as the two love birds enjoyed a swanky meal out.

Clearly besotted with the Glow Up Ireland presenter, the BBC star captioned the candid snap "And when you smile", adding Bruno Mars' hit song Just The Way You Are as the background music.

The pair's romantic break comes just a week after the Italian dancer admitted he was pining for his "babygirl".

Sharing a snap of himself cuddled up to the Love Island beauty in a pool on Instagram, Giovanni told his followers that he was "Missing my babygirl ♥️ @maurahiggins."

The 30-year-old reality TV star replied to the public display of affection, commenting: "Not long now baby."

It seems the smitten duo have finally been reunited as they checked into the luxury London hotel on Sunday.

Starting on level 34 of The Shard, Shangri-La occupies 18 floors of Western Europe's tallest building and boasts breathtaking views as it towers 125 metres high from the ground.

A Sunday night stay in August can set guests back up to £10,000 per night if they opt for picturesque Shangri-La Suite - with smaller rooms ranging in price from £595 to £3320 per night.

Maura and Giovanni confirmed their romance earlier this year, after rumours surrounding them dating began to circulate.

However, some fans where shocked when they revealed their love for one another online in July, both sharing separate photos kissing to their respective Instagrams.

Both sweet posts were captioned: “I’m yours.”

Love Island fans and Strictly Come Dancing viewers were equally surprised by the news the two reality stars had found love with one another.

“Well this came out of nowhere!” one commenter wrote, while another fan asked: "Since when???”

Maura was previously in a relationship with Love Island partner Curtis Pritchard (ITV)

“What the actual wasn’t expecting [this] at all,” one Instagram user commented under the Strictly dancer's snap.

The Italian, who has starred on the BBC show since 2015, has previously had romances with former Strictly partners Georgia May Foote and Pussycat Doll Ashley Roberts.

Meanwhile, Maura was once in a relationship with Love Island co-star Curtis Pritchard, whose brother AJ Pritchard used to also appear on the BBC dancing competition.
