Maura Higgins and Giovanni Pernice have made their romance Instagram official after the Love Island star shared a snap of them holding hands.
The 30-year-old reality star, who is rumoured to have been secretly dating Giovanni for the last month, appeared to finally confirm that she is very much loved up in her latest post.
In the snap, that Maura shared with her 3.2 million Instagram followers, the bombshell tenderly held onto Giovanni's hand as they enjoyed a romantic dinner.
The picture didn't feature their faces, but included a close-up of Maura's pretty pink manicure. Her Strictly Come Dancing beau also opted for his classic navy suit as well as a luxury watch as he held her hand.
It is the first time that Maura has shared a social media snap that featured Giovanni, appearing to firmly confirm that their romance is getting serious.
A representative for Maura and Giovanni has been approached by The Mirror for comment.
It comes days after the duo were spotted sharing a cuddle while attending a venue in Blackpool, where Giovanni is currently performing.
Last week, the lovebirds finally went public with their romance as they were spotted enjoying several dates together.
First they were spied at the Euro cup football match in London before being spotted in Blackpool enjoying a romantic cuddle.
Maura had travelled up to Blackpool to support Giovanni while he performs alongside Anton Du Beke in their show, Me and Him.
It was also reported that Maura had been introduced to the rest of Giovanni's castmates and the pair had spent several nights together at a hotel.
According to OK! Magazine, it looks like the couple will officially confirm their relationship 'very soon' after they were pictured together.
“Maura and Giovanni have a lovely connection and they are getting on really well. They do really like each other,” the insider explained.
“Now their relationship is out there, they’ll probably go official soon and announce they’re seeing each other. Giovanni is very keen on her – she’s a beautiful girl.”
Maura's latest romance came just a few short months after she confirmed that she had split from fellow Love Island star, Chris Taylor.
While they didn't get together on the show, the reality stars grew close following their television stint and fans were thrilled when they confirmed their relationship last year.
However, their romance was short-lived and they confirmed in May that they had split amicably, after realising that they were better off as friends.
