Love Island's Maura Higgins shows off brand new look as she wows with curly hair

Maura Higgins has shown off a very different look as she debuted her big curly hair.

The Love Island star was compared to Sandy from Grease and a Victoria's Secret model as she unveiled her new style on Instagram.

Maura - who is currently dating Strictly Come Dancing professional Giovanni Pernice - decided to switch-up her hair up for her latest shoot with Ann Summers, and they hinted at more photoshoots ahead as her hairstylist promised to show a different side to the reality contestant turned model.

"Ready for my close up," Maura wrote alongside the snap, which she shared with her 3.3 million Instagram followers.

"Dang woman! Look like a Victoria Secret Model!" one of her friends wrote.

Whilst her hairstylist added: "Loved doing this hair it was a vibe! Bring on tomorrows looks! X"

"Giving me Sandy vibes. Buff," a third shared.

Another person agreed, writing: "Giving me Sandy of Grease vibezzz."

It's a very different look for Maura, who normally has her chocolate brown locks styled dead straight or slicked back in a high ponytail.

Meanwhile, Giovanni's friends are convinced that the dancer could soon propose to Maura as he has been left 'captivated' by her.

"Giovanni has never felt like this about anyone before," the source told The Sun.

"He has fallen for Maura incredibly quickly and right now she comes before everything else in his life. He is still putting the hours in on Strictly but once that’s done he is happiest spending as much time as possible with Maura."

The insider added: "None of his mates have seen him like this before and Maura, who is always in and around set, has become really close to Giovanni’s friends as well.

"Nobody would be surprised if they end up getting married because Giovanni has been saying she is the one he wants to be with forever."

The couple aren't shy of parading their love on social media, with Maura posting a sweet black and white snap of the note that Giovanni left her on the weekend as he headed off to film Strictly.

"I love you so much. Ti ado di piu!! Yours forever," the message read, which translates into "I adore you more".

She has also been incredibly supportive of him and actress Rose Ayling-Ellis' partnership on the show.

"The very best of luck to you beauties tonight. I know you will absolutely smash it @rose.ae @giovannipernice," she wrote ahead of their first live show.
