Maura Higgins and Giovanni Pernice might just be our favourite new couple of the year, but it's claimed she has some reservations.
The Love Island star is said to be "going slow" with the Strictly Come Dancing hunk as she worries he's a bit of a player.
She also isn't looking for anything serious after her relationship with fellow Islander Chris Taylor recently came to an end, it's claimed.
"Giovanni is smitten," a source said. "He always fancied her and slid into her DMs. It's very early days."
"Maura is enjoying the attention and she thinks he's so hot," the source added.
"He's really charming, but she is a little worried he might be a player," the insider told OK! magazine.
The source continued: "She doesn't want to get hurt, so she's taking it slow.
"She’s enjoying single life so won't rush into anything."
The Mirror has contacted reps for Maura and Giovanni and is currently awaiting comment.
