Her ex Giovanni Pernice has reportedly moved on with MIC star Verity Bowditch.

But Maura Higgins didn’t let the news of her former flame’s love life get her down as she soaked up the sun in The Maldives on Saturday.

The former Love Island star, 31, showed off her pert posterior in a very skimpy green thong ʙικιɴι as she posed up a storm on the beach.

The professional dancer, 31, and the reality star turned entrepreneur, 26, have reportedly been enjoying a string of secret meet ups.

A source told The Sun: ‘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.’

Representatives for Giovanni and Verity have been contacted by MailOnline for a comment.

Giovanni has a string of famous exes including Maura, Ashley Roberts, TOWIE’s Jess Wright, fellow dance pro Luba Mushtuk, 32, and former celeb dance partner Georgia May Foote.

Meanwhile Verity has previously dated DJ Cameron Jack as well as fellow MIC stars James Taylor and Tristan Phipps.

Their new romance comes after Maura reportedly joined the celebrity dating app Raya, just one month on from her split with Strictly’s Giovanni.

The Sun reported Maura had joined the exclusive app and was on the rebound after her failed romance with the professional dancer.

A source told the publication: ‘Maura is a stunning girl and has already been bombarded with offers and swipes. She won’t be single for long.’
