Maura Higgins looked absolutely incredible as she shared a sizzling bikini snap of herself.

The Love Island beauty proved that recent reports of her ex Giovanni Pernice secretly dating Made in Chelsea's Verity Bowditch were the furthest thing on her mind as she took to Instagram to upload the stunning snap on Saturday 27 November.

Soaking up the sunshine from her idyllic Maldives getaway, the 31 year old showed off her envy-inducing toned figure in a tiny green bikini for the stunning profile shot taken from the beach.

Clutching onto a beer, the brunette accessorised with gold hoop earrings and a straw hat for the snap entitled: "Thirsty?"

Proving she was making the most of her time in the sunshine, Maura shared another snap of herself in a black and white swimsuit for a spot of jet-skiing.

With barely any make-up and her hair scraped up into a tight bun, the beauty was all smiles as she posed for the camera.

Her stunning Instagram display comes after it's been reported her professional dancer ex Giovanni, 31, has hit it off with MIC's Verity just weeks after their split.

A source has said: "Giovanni has fallen head over heels for Verity.

"They are smitten. He's been training really hard, but has made time for her. They're very sweet together," they added to The Sun.

OK! has contacted representatives for Giovanni and Verity for comment.

Giovanni is currently competing on Strictly with EastEnders' Rose Ayling-Ellis, and the pair are firm favourites to lift the Glitterball trophy this year.

The Italian was dating Maura when the series kicked off, but weeks into the competition, rumours were rife that the pair had split.

Giovanni later confirmed the couple had parted ways with a statement on his Instagram story.

He said: "Hey guys – Going into another wonderful training week – thank you so much for your amazing messages & your support this weekend.

"I get to live my dream every single day because of you – so thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I wanted to say a couple of things…"

"Firstly, great relationships with great people can come to a natural end," Giovanni then explained. "This has been the case for me recently.

"There was absolutely no wrong-doing, and this should be the end of any speculation."

Later a source revealed Maura had hoped to rekindle things with Giovanni.

The insider told OK!: "Their relationship came to a natural end.

"Giovanni is so busy with Strictly, and the show is a big commitment, so he just couldn't give her his time."

They added: "Giovanni won't rekindle it. Secretly, Maura probably hopes that they could try. But Giovanni is done."

Maura has since reportedly signed up to celebrity dating app Raya, as a source told The Sun: "Maura is a stunning girl and has already been bombarded with offers and swipes. She won't be single for long."
