Maura Higgins looked in the highest spirits on Sunday night, as she made a glamorous exit from a friend’s birthday dinner in Camden.
The Love Island star, 34, couldn’t hold back her giggles as she left the restaurant with the birthday girl, before warmly kissing her pal goodbye.
Flaunting her incredible figure once again, Maura slipped into a black halterneck jumpsuit that hugged every inch of her svelte frame.
The backless number boasted a plunging neckline to display some major cleavage, while the corsetted bodice and leather belt accentuated her tiny waist.
She flashed her gleaming white smile, sporting a full face of radiant makeup and sweeping her hair up into a chic bun with several curls left down to frame her face.
Maura completed her striking look with a pair of statement red earrings and a matching pleather clutch, as she climbed into her waiting car to whisk her home.

Her cheerful outing comes after her big return to the red carpet, following her ‘drunken’ kiss scandal with McFly’s Danny Jones earlier this year.
The brunette beauty pulled out all the stops at the BAFTA TV Awards last Sunday, turning heads in a backless blue gown with a huge skirt.
But while she made sure all eyes were on her on her arrival, Maura was later pictured sitting alone during the ceremony and reportedly didn’t stay long before making a sneaky backdoor exit.
In a photograph exclusively obtained by MailOnline last week, the presenter could be seen sitting by herself on her phone in her stunning ball gown at the event.
Meanwhile, in pictures published on The Sun, she later risked the wrath of BAFTA as she left an hour into the ceremony as she snuck into a taxi.
A source told the publication: ‘Maura wanted her red carpet return to be a big moment. She thinks enough time has passed — she can’t hide forever.’
Explaining how her huge dress meant she was uncomfortable in the cramped hall they continued: ‘She was talking about her dress taking up too much space and was absolutely boiling.
‘So she snuck out with pal Luke Hamnett while a nominations reel was shown. It’ll be frowned upon in TV circles as the Baftas is an incredibly prestigious event and leaving is a big no-no.’

Maura hit the headlines in March, after she and Danny, 39, were spotted in a compromising clinch at the Universal Music’s BRIT Awards afterparty, after appearing on I’m A Celeb together last year.
The married singer is said to no longer have a ‘normal relationship’ with his wife Georgia, 38, and while they are still living under the same roof, they now have ‘separate lives’.
Both Danny and Maura have generally kept away from public events since the scandal, until her big return at the BAFTAs, where she kept mum on the kiss.
While she wasn’t at risk of any awkward reunions with Danny as he reportedly skipped the ceremony to avoid ‘putting a foot wrong’ with his wife.
Danny previously issued a public apology to Georgia and their seven-year-old son Cooper, admitting he was ‘deeply sorry’ and vowing to deal with things privately.
Sources previously claimed to MailOnline that despite their efforts, the couple are like ‘passing ships’ and friends fear their relationship is hanging on by a thread.
A source said: ‘Danny and Georgia have been trying to navigate a very difficult time in their marriage and for the best part they have been taking each day as it comes.
‘They may be living under the same roof, but they barely see each other and right now are like passing ships.

‘Danny is preparing for his summer gigs with McFly, and Georgia has been attending influencer events and collaborating with brands, all while looking after son, Cooper, who regularly features on her Instagram profile.
‘But when they’re not working, Danny is out on his motorbike or exercising in the gym, and Georgia is either on her own or spending time with family and girlfriends.
‘They haven’t actually been publicly seen together for six weeks and behind the scenes, their relationship is anything but normal.’
But now the singer is also making his TV return and will join the second series of You Bet!, ITV’s rebooted challenge show, hosted by Stephen Mulhern.
Danny will appear alongside former I’m A Celeb campmate Oti Mabuse and Olympian Greg Rutherford, and has already filmed some segments at London’s Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.
In behind-the-scenes clips shared on his Instagram last weekend, Danny looked upbeat as he returned to work, grinning alongside his co-stars and cheering on contestants tackling extreme rides.
