Maura Higgins confirms new romance with Strictly Come Dancing star

Maura Higgins has confirmed her new romance with a Strictly Come Dancing professional.

The Love Island star shared a snap on Instagram holding hands with her rumoured new boyfriend as they enjoyed a romantic dinner date, reports Irish Mirror.

The Longford-born star has been rumoured to have been secretly dating Strictly star Giovanni Pernice for the last month.

Last week, the lovebirds finally went public with their romance as they were spotted enjoying several dates together.

Posting a snap to Instagram this week, loved-up Maura held hands with Giovanni as they had a glass of wine together.

It is the first time the 30-year-old has shared a social media snap that featured her new love interest since rumours first began to swirl.

Days before, the duo were spotted sharing a cuddle while attending a venue in Blackpool, where Giovanni is currently performing.

Maura has also travelled up to Blackpool to support Giovanni while he performed alongside Anton Du Beke in their show, Me and Him.

Maura's latest romance came just a few short months after she confirmed that she had split from fellow Love Island star, Chris Taylor.
