Maura Higgins has been having the time of her life celebrating turning 30, after jetting off to Dubai with new boyfriend Chris Taylor and their Love Island pals.
The reality star shared photos and videos of her birthday celebrations on Instagram, revealing that fellow Love Island stars Francesca Allen, Jordan Hames, Danny Williams and Michael Griffiths were in Dubai with her and Chris.
Maura reposted videos of her friends singing Happy Birthday to her as they enjoyed drinks and dinner in the warm weather.
The night appeared to be a big one as Maura later shared a photo of the cup of coffee she was enjoying in bed, having woken up in the afternoon.
She captioned the snap: ‘4pm wake… my birthday was wild… Thankyou each & every one of you who wished me a happy 30th I really felt all the love.’
It comes after Maura and Chris finally confirmed they are dating, having shared a loved-up photo of them together in Dubai just days earlier.
Maura captioned the snap, in which the pair were almost kissing: ‘He’s mine’.
Chris shared the same photo, adding: ‘Turns out I fell in love with my best mate’.
Maura’s new man appeared to go all-out to help her celebrate the milestone birthday, as she revealed: ‘OK he’s spoiled me @christophertaylorofficial.’
She shared a photo of a slice of cake with the words ‘Happy birthday’ on the top, along with a Cartier shopping bag beside it, though didn’t reveal the contents.
Rumours that Maura and Chris might be more than friends have been floating for a while, especially when he almost kissed her while taking part in the ‘kiss your best friend’ TikTok challenge.
The pair met on the 2019 series of Love Island, but Chris ended up coupling up with Harley Brash while Maura reached the final with Curtis Pritchard.
