It seems the Strictly curse has struck once again, as it appears that Love Island star Maura Higgins and Strictly Come Dancing pro Giovanni Pernice have called it a day on their relationship.
It was noted earlier this week that the pair had deleted all photos of each other from their social media channels, only days after Maura celebrated the move into her new London flat which was speculated to be with Giovanni. Sharing her happiness to be in the new space on social media, Maura confessed that it was “finally moving day”.
According to sources speaking to The Sun, the Longford lady is said to be “devastated”, with friends hoping the pair can “patch things up”, but neither Maura or Giovanni has yet to give a comment.
Giovanni is currently working on Strictly, putting Rose Ayling-Ellis through her paces on the show, while Maura has been busy working on all her brand collabs from Bellamianta to Ann Summers, Ego and Primark to name a few, so maybe it was their busy careers which caused an issue for this pair, with a lot of time spent on the road, at various events and filming/shooting different things.
Whatever the case may be, it looks as though this four month relationship might have come to an end. Prior to this, Maura Higgins was dating Love Island co-star and friend, Chris Taylor. The pair made things official last year before splitting at the beginning of this year.
Giovanni has previously been linked to reality TV star Jess Wright, Ashley Roberts and Coronation Street’s Georgia May Foote. He was also reported to be dating one of this year’s Strictly contestants in the past too, Hollyoaks star Katie McGlynn.
