Maura Higgins looks unrecognisable after Dancing On Ice skater Alex splits from his wife

Maura Higgins looked completely unrecognisable after her Dancing On Ice partner Alex Demetriou confirmed his split from his wife.

The Love Island beauty, 29, showed off her rock-hard abs in a tight crop top and multicoloured jeans as she gave a sultry look into the camera.

Maura's hair was curled to perfection as she let her brown locks flow in little pigtails which gave her a dramatically different look to her typically straight locks.

The Irish grid girl dropped the sizzling selfie for the eyes of her 2.8 million followers. She wrote: "Daily commute to the shops."

Maura oozed sex appeal in the skimpy ensemble while she pouted to the camera.

He wrote: "I'm sorry I have been quiet on social media recently but it's been a tough time for me personally," he wrote in a statement.

"Carlotta and I have separated. Although it saddens me that we can no longer be together, I feel this is best for both of us.

"I'm looking forward to what the future will bring but in the meantime let's all say home and stay safe. Alex xx."
