Maura Higgins looked red hot in a sizzling red latex dress on Instagram, but it’s her ex Pete Wicks who has been grabbing headlines.
Love Island Games presenter Maura, 34, is currently in the Fiji Islands for another stint of the ITV2 spin-off series, which began last week.
Starting things off with a bang, Maura slipped into a red latex maxi dress for the special occasion, leaving her followers open-mouthed.
But while she’s sunning herself abroad, Pete was kissing Strictly pro dancer Jowita Przystal onstage at the O2, who he was linked to around the time he was dating Maura.
What’s more, the handsome chap was also spotted kissing a mystery blonde just days before seemingly confirming his romance with Jowita.

But Maura appears to be unfazed by it all. She split from Pete in February claiming she had found messages from other women in his phone.
And sharing those racy new images of her look, she wrote on social media: ‘Tight fit but I’m flexible.’
Maura was met with comments from the likes of best pal Molly-Mae, who shared: ‘WOWWWWW.’
Former Love Island pal Leah Taylor added: ‘Are you even real omggggg.’
And a fan commented: ‘I can’t even imagine being this hot like what!’
Last week, Maura’s journey to the Fiji Islands was thwarted when her Apple AirTag – a device used to track belongings – alerted her to the absence of her luggage.
Having landed at LAX Airport, Maura, who previously acted as the show’s social media ambassador, revealed she had been informed that her bag arrived at the carousel but was not present – indicating the luggage was stolen.
Maura, who shot to fame on the UK version in 2019, initially gave a swanky glimpse into her journey, posting an image from the plane featuring her Hermés Birkin, a Louis Vuitton vanity case and diary and her Chanel sunglasses with a glass of wine.
Yet things took a turn for the worse, when she began documenting her panic and admitted she was suffering from anxiety due to the gaffe as she was due to start working as soon as she landed in the South Pacific.

Maura’s work trip was thrown into chaos on Monday, as she alleged her luggage had been stolen at LAX airport as she headed to Fiji to present Love Island Games’ sister show
As well as the image of her luxury goods, she shared a selfie showing her with a face mask alongside the caption: ‘Here’s me for the next 25 hours. Hair mask, bio collaged hair mask, oil all over body’ – prior to her worries beginning.
Following her selfies, Maura then shared an image of her lost luggage alert.
Alongside the screenshot of her AirTag alert, Maura penned: ‘Oh brilliant. Now I have to sit on this flight riddled with anxiety until I land in LAX.’
After landing in LAX, she then revealed her bag had apparently landed in the States -but had been stolen from the carousel.
Speaking to the camera, she said: ‘So everyone in my DMs is like don’t worry the airtag normally does that its probably on the flight. No, it’s not…
‘Actually they’re telling me that it was on the conveyor belt so it looks like it’s been stolen. Stolen! Stolen! I have work when I land. I have work’.
She penned a caption on top of the video reading: ‘Why would they give me more anxiety by telling me someone has took it!! Everyone has left the conveyor belt and I’m just here like… I’M JUST A GIRL that needs her hair extensions and fake tan.’
It was revealed last month that Maura had landed the job on the Peacock show, which has run for four series
A series insider told The Sun: ‘The first series of Love Island Games didn’t have an Aftersun sister show as it was pre-recorded and aired at a later date, but this time around for season 2 it will air in real time like the regular show does…
‘As a result, bosses have commissioned an Aftersun series to run as a companion show and it will be fronted by Maura Higgins, who hosts Aftersun for the regular Love Island USA…
‘Maura was thrilled to be asked to do it, as Games is a totally separate show so there was no guarantee she would be offered it.
‘When bosses approached her, she was over the moon because it proves how happy they are with her and she is seen as a key fixture in the Love Island family.’
The source went on: ‘Her stateside career is going from strength to strength and comes off the back of her doing Traitors US. Maura would love to spend more time doing work in the US and it feels like this is the next step to that.’
