Dancing On Ice star Maura Higgins poses in black lace lingerie ahead of tonight’s show

DANCING On Ice star Maura Higgins is well strapped in as she poses in black lace lingerie.

But the ex-Love Islander, 29, feels more exposed by her “headbanger” routine for tonight’s show. Maura wore a helmet while practising being spun by her ankles by pro Alexander Demetriou — but still bumped her head.

She admitted: “My life is in his hands.”

Irish lass Maura and pro partner Alexander, 28, will on Sunday night dance a flamenco to Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood by Santa Esmeralda.

She said: “I hit my head doing the headbanger for the second time.

“It was definitely a shock and put a bit of fear in me.

“It’s a really weird feeling – first of all you feel like your ankle is going to snap off and all the blood was rushing to my head.

“This is the most dangerous trick on ice so it just can’t go wrong.

“I could really hurt myself.
