Maura Higgins and Curtis Pritchard have been getting closer ever since they met on Love Island, earlier this summer.

But it has been claimed the couple – who finished the series in fourth place – actually knew each other before coming face-to-face in the villa.

In fact, Dancing With The Stars judge Brian Redmond claimed the ring girl ‘cast eyes’ at the 23-year-old backstage on the dance show.

‘Maura knows the show because she has been a brand ambassador for Bellamianta, who are the tanning company for Dancing With The Stars,’ he said.

‘I believe Maura had been out a few times to watch the show and apparently she and Curtis had cast eyes at each other across a busy dance floor years ago.’

The professional dancer was honest about his connection to the 28-year-old on the show, admitting he had slid right into her Instagram DMs before they stumbled into the ITV2 dating show together.

Brian also revealed he would be keen to get Maura on the show, following her Love Island success.

‘She knows the show and being with Curtis she obviously knows what it involves. It would be great to have her on but probably not this year,’ he continued to the Irish Mirror.

‘But I’m sure she will be supporting him in the new series so we will wait and see what happens.’

However, she might be a little busy as ITV bosses are reportedly hoping to get her on an activities-based show soon.

And we need this to happen.

An insider told The Sun she has ‘ratings-winner potential’, and are hoping to get her signed up ASAP.

‘She is great on screen so bosses want to create a platform where viewers can still get their fix,’ they claimed.

The source added that producers don’t know how long Maura and Curtis will stay together, so they’re unwilling to give the couple a spin-off show together.

‘While her and Curtis are still together, no-one really knows what the future holds for them as a couple so producers are focusing on Maura,’ they alleged.

‘They are ironing out details at the moment. She has ratings-winner potential, they just have to settle on the right tone.’

It sounds like our next binge watch.
