Marty Morrissey backs Irish Love Island star Maura Higgins to join RTE's Dancing with the Stars

Marty Morrissey says Irish Love Island star Maura Higgins would be an "ideal candidate" for RTE's Dancing with the Stars.

The popular GAA broadcaster appeared on the second series of the dance show in 2018 with partner Ksenia Zsikhotska.

And the RTE commentator has now backed Longford grid girl Maura to make an appearance on the show.

Marty told the Irish Sun: "I do like Maura, I have to say. What I love about her is that she says it as it is. I think she has a huge future, I think she'd be an ideal candidate for Dancing with the Stars.

"I don't know if she can dance, but I couldn't dance either."

The Irish model has caused a stir on the hit ITV show since her arrival last month.

Maura and dancer Curtis finally decided to give romance a go this week, sealing things with a kiss.

The pair were seen getting steamy under the covers of one of the garden beds in Tuesday’s episode.

And some Love Island fans are convinced Maura and her new partner have already had sex.

Curtis and Maura were shown getting cosy, before pulling the duvet over them, covering them entirely.

Viewers then witnessed some suspicious activity and movement going on under said duvet, racing to Twitter to share their observations.

Their suspicions were risen when commentator Iain Stirling appeared to confirm something had happened.

He made a comment to Maura complimenting Curtis’ “dancing” skills.

Curtis himself said their moment together was “hot, sweaty and close”, when the boys questioned whether he’d had sex.
