She was seen returning to the rink during Dancing On Ice’s nail-biting season finale on Sunday, as she watched fellow competitor Joe Swash scoop the 2020 crown.
And Maura Higgins, 29, who was voted off the show weeks before the finale, showed she’s still a winner in her own right, as she unveiled a fresh batch of snaps showing her posing in a range of sizzling swimwear for Ann Summers.
The Love Island beauty’s sensational snapshots come as her ex-boyfriend Curtis Pritchard, 24, has revealed the cheap and cheerful gift he purchased her for Valentine’s Day – just weeks before the couple announced their split.

The unveiling of the new set of pictures comes as Maura’s ex-boyfriend Curtis, whom she met when they appeared on Love Island together in 2018, revealed that he bought her a low budget gift for Valentine’s Day ahead of their split.
During a new interview with Heat magazine alongside his brother AJ Pritchard, Curtis revealed that his gift came about because he was pushed for time with his schedule on The Greatest Dancer, while she was busy with Dancing On Ice.
After a round of playful jibes from his brother about who was the most romantic – and being accused of not doing ‘anything’ for Maura on Valentine’s Day – Curtis responded: ‘I got Maura a bouquet of roses and a nice bottle of wine. Tesco’s Finest.’
Last Monday, a source confirmed to MailOnline that Maura and Curtis had officially split, just eight months after they met in the Love Island villa.

Within days, Dancing On Ice couple Alexander Demetriou and Carlotta Edwards were hit by bold claims that their three-year marriage had reportedly collapsed after he was paired with Maura .
It has been claimed that the couple are close to announcing their separation, after Alex allegedly became ‘besotted’ with Maura during their time skating on the ITV show, leaving Carlotta, 34, ‘furious’.
It comes just days after it was claimed that Maura split from her Love Island boyfriend Curtis after rows over her friendship with skater Alexander, 29.
A source told The Sun On Sunday that the cracks reportedly first appeared in Alexander and Carlotta’s marriage in 2019, when he was paired with Pussycat Doll Melody Thornton.

Carlotta was reportedly left jealous of their friendship, and thought she and Alexander had overcome the difficult patch when that series came to an end.
But things are said to have only got worse this year when Alexander was paired with Maura.
It has also been claimed that Alexander confided in Maura about his marital problems, even after the pair were eliminated from the show several weeks ago, with their chemistry catching the eye of several Dancing On Ice co-stars.
Alexander and Carlotta are reportedly trying to put on a united front, but once the currently series is over will allegedly begin announcing their separation.

The source told The Sun: ‘They haven’t been happy together in months, and Alex has been confiding in Maura about their personal problems, which hasn’t helped.’
They added: ‘Their marriage seems to be broken beyond repair, and friends and family are now expecting them to make that publicly known once Dancing On Ice is over.’
Despite the claims, Alexander and Carlotta both appeared on each other’s social media as recently as last month.
Maura’s spokesperson has since dismissed any suggestion that Maura’s partnership with Alex contributed to her recent split, telling MailOnline: ‘Maura and Curtis mutually decided to separate due to busy schedules.’

A representative for Dancing On Ice declined to comment when approached by MailOnline.
Alex and Carlotta met in 2008 while performing on Disney On Ice together, and married in 2016.

Last week, Maura and Curtis were hit by claims that they had secretly split three months earlier.
The former grid girl allegedly felt pressured to stay in her relationship with the professional dancer in a bid to boost their profile, despite only announcing their split one week ago – claims that Curtis strongly denies.
According to a source speaking to The Sun, Maura and Curtis’ relationship turned sour following their row at the National Television Awards in January.
The couple were reportedly told that if they stayed together they could make millions.
The source said: ‘Maura felt pressured to stick with him. They had booked jobs together, parties they had to attend. When they met in Love Island it was genuine. But when the showbiz treadmill started on the outside, it was a sham.’
A representative for Curtis told MailOnline that Curtis had not been unfaithful to Maura and the pair had not faked any aspect of their relationship.
