MAURA Higgins set pulses racing with a sizzling bikini snap from her holiday in Crete.
The Love Island beauty showed off her trim figure in the blue swimwear covered in an orange starfish print.
She tied her dark hair up in a casual top knot and accessorised with hooped earrings, bracelet and a watch.
There wasn’t a cloud in the sky, and the sea was an inviting shade of blue behind her.
Maura’s good pal Molly-Mae Hague wrote: “The bod 
.”
While one fan commented: “Holy moly!!!”
As another shared: “Wow On 
Maura.”
The Irish telly star whipped herself into the shape of her life during lockdown at her home in Essex, where she lives with her hairdresser friend.
She began exercising for the first time, ditched her “atrocious” junk food diet and, in a bid to get her head straight after splitting from fellow Love Islander Curtis Pritchard, imposed a man ban that has sparked – to date – six months of celibacy.
Speaking to HOAR’s Fabulous magazine earlier this month, Maura pondered whether it was the longest she’d been without sex.
She then said: “No, I don’t think so, because after a nine-year relationship I didn’t meet a guy until seven months later. That was a long time. Although, during lockdown it was nice not having the pressure of thinking about dating.
“I’ve never jumped back into a relationship and I’ve never had a one-night stand, so even if lockdown hadn’t happened, I don’t think I would have been with any guys. But now I definitely feel like I’m ready to be with somebody. I’m 100% single and ready to mingle!”
“God help the next man I meet, I’m not sure he’ll be able to put up with me!” chuckled the former model and ring girl.
Maura, who turns 30 in November and is in insane shape after her lockdown fitness drive, said she feels more confident now than ever.
“I 100 per cent feel the sexiest of my life. I’m getting sexy for my new man!” she laughed.
“I’d like to have a child some day and I do want a big wedding. I always thought: 33 marriage, 38 a baby. I want someone that’s caring, funny, who’s similar to me – who doesn’t take life too seriously – keeps their private life private and is mature!”
