Maura Higgins looks gloomy as she breaks cover for first time after Chris split

Maura Higgins appeared downcast when she was seen for the first time after her break up from Chris Taylor.

She and her ex have been keeping a low profile since the couple announced they had broken up on social media.

Newly-single Maura wiped her brow as she refilled the car with petrol at a garage.

Worlds away from her glamorous Instagram, the newly-single star kept her look comfortable with loungewear.

Her make-up still had an immaculate finish and her brunette locks were tamed into a low ponytail.

In need of girly time, she had the company of her Love Island BFF Molly-Mae Hague who was sat in the car.

Rumours were swirling Maura had moved into Molly-Mae's plush flat while her boyfriend Tommy Fury has jetted out to the US for boxing camp.

However, the PrettyLittleThing ambassador told fans on her Instagram stories that she and Maura were in the same support bubble but they weren't living under the same roof.

Those living on their own or caring for a vulnerable person could form support bubbles with people outside of their household for additional help during the coronavirus pandemic.

It comes as Maura and Chris sent shockwaves around the showbiz circuit with news of their split.

They told their fans they had plans on staying friends, given they had built their romance on the foundations of their friendship.

The Love Island bombshell said her heart was "breaking" when she announced the break up to the world.

Her statement read: "It breaks my heart to even type this. But I wanted to let everyone know that myself and Chris have made the joint decision to end our relationship.

"There is no wrong doing on either side. We still love, care and respect each other deeply from the minute we met each other we've been very close friends and that will never change.

"There is no regret, life is about taking chances. We wanted to make this work, but we have realised we work better being friends.

"While I appreciate people may speculate or create false stories, this is the truth.

"I wish Chris nothing but the best and I will always be one of his biggest supporters. Thank you for all of the love and support."

Chris also shed some light on the "heartfelt conversations" going on behind closed doors before their split.

"We are both still on very good terms and this was a mutual decision where nobody had done anything wrong. We will remain friends, as we have been since day 1 and I will always be in Mauras corner and have her back.

"We are both going through a very tough time with this atm, so please take any speculation with a metric tonne of salt, cos this is the only truth (and as always, trolls can kindly f*** off).

"Thank you for all the love and support you've given us, it's truly been appreciated."
