Love Island's Maura Higgins about turning down DWTS and her relationship with Curtis
Maura Higgins got candid about her relationship with Love Island beau Curtis Pritchard and reveals that she turned down Dancing With The Stars for Dancing On Ice.
Yesterday, the three Love Island stars Maura Higgins, India Reynolds and Tommy Fury got together to talk about their work with fashion retailer boohoo. But of course, the conversation didn't only revolve around clothes and make-up. The trio got pretty candid about their relationships, next projects and their time on Love Island.
Talking about her relationship with Curtis Pritchard, Ireland's very own Maura Higgins revealed that she hasn't seen the DWTS dancer for two weeks. But according to her, everything is going well between them. "Obviously it's very different from coming out of the villa where you're together 24/7 but I mean... Coming out, this is a normal relationship. You're not gonna see each other every single day", she explains, adding, "I'm happy with the pace we're going in and I think he is as well and we don't feel any pressure to rush things."
For the next months, the fan favourite will be even more busy as she started training for Dancing On Ice on Monday. "I don't go to the gym so I think my body is gonna take an awful toll but yeah, I'm very excited. I mean, it's a massive show, it's a massive opportunity and I'm gonna get stuck in", Higgins said during the event.
Speaking about Dancing On Ice, she also confirmed that she actually turned down Dancing With The Stars to take part in the ice skating show: "I was asked to give them a call but I can't take everything, can I? I'm only human, I can only do so much."
Tommy Fury also gave an update on his relationship with Molly-Mae. Apparently things are going really well between the two love birds considering that they moved in together two weeks ago. "Now we see each other so much but we never had one argument", he smiles, "We picked out an apartment together, the furniture, filled up the fridge and we never had an argument."
In addition to new clothing lines in collaboration with the Love Island stars, boohoo launched their very first podcast Get The Scoop with Maura Higgins as the host. The first episode is already online.
