Maura Higgins said she’s not ready to marry Curtis Pritchard – despite psychics’ predictions that he will propose within six months.
The Longford born Love Island favourite also told that she and Curtis lied about when they went ‘official’ - revealing it happened a lot longer than they had let on.
Speaking on the red carpet of the annual ITV Palooza in London on Tuesday, Maura said she wanted to clear up a few misconceptions about the her new relationship.
Commenting on headlines suggesting that she said Curtis will propose within six months, she told showbiz YouTube channel On Demand Entertainment: “I didn’t say that.
“Can we just rephrase this and you can change it out in the press. I never said that.
“So the Love Ireland I was doing, the segment with This Morning, it was Willie Daly, the psychic that predicted it.
“It wasn’t me, I never predicted that so no.”
She also revealed she and Curtis told a few white lies to hide their relationship status from the public before they confirmed they were an item last month.
The 28-year-old said: “You think it was longer than it was, we just didn’t tell anyone. We are very secretive, we get asked a lot of questions and I just lie."
However, when asked whether she feels ready to head down the aisle with her Love Island beau, she added: “No, no, god no!”
The former grid girl turned heads on the red carpet in London on Tuesday night as she stepped out in deeply plunging lacy black gown at annual glitz-fest.
Held at the Royal Festival Hall, the night attending by TV royalty Holly Willoughby and X Factor hopeful Megan McKenna celebrated the TV network’s favorite stars.
And as they assembled to toast another successful year of television, Maura revealed she is busy getting ready to star on Dancing on Ice on the network in the New Year.
She told: “I’m definitely progressing slowly, I still fall a lot, but you know what, I’m really enjoying it.
“I didn’t think I’d enjoy it this much but I am loving it.
“Like every morning that I have to get up and get on to the ice, I’m up up out of bed, and I’m not a morning person.
“But it is dangerous. I’ve had some lumps and bumps but I’ve got a lot of competition just to let you know.
“Perrie is big competition, I’ve seen him.. And also Joe is very good and H is very good, everyone is very good which is scary but I just have to do my best.”
