It's no secret that Maura Higgins is a force to be reckoned with on the reality TV scene. The stunning Love Island Games presenter has been turning heads with her sultry red latex maxi dress, which she showcased on Instagram for all to see. But while she's basking in the sun on the picturesque Fiji Islands, her ex Pete Wicks has been making waves of his own - and it's a drama-filled love triangle that's got everyone talking.

Maura, 34, was spotted looking absolutely scorching hot as she posed in her red-hot latex dress. The sizzling snap sent her fans into overdrive, with best pal Molly-Mae Hague commenting "WOWWWWW" and former Love Island pal Leah Taylor exclaiming "Are you even real omggggg." Meanwhile, a devoted fan gushed "I can't even imagine being this hot like what!"

Starting things off with a bang, Maura slipped into a red latex maxi dress for the special occasion, leaving her followers open-mouthed

But it's not just Maura's on-screen presence that's got everyone talking - her off-screen antics are also making headlines. It seems Pete Wicks has moved on from their short-lived romance, and is now cozying up to Strictly pro dancer Jowita Przystal onstage at the O2 Arena. The dashing hunk was even spotted kissing a mystery blonde just days before seemingly confirming his romance with Jowita.

But here's the kicker: Maura has broken her silence on the drama, and it seems she's not fazed by Pete's new fling. In fact, the gorgeous brunette has been too busy focusing on her work commitments - including hosting Love Island Games' Aftersun series. As one insider revealed to The Scholarly Note, "Maura was thrilled to be asked to do it, as Games is a totally separate show so there was no guarantee she would be offered it."

However, Maura's journey to the Fiji Islands wasn't without its hiccups. Her Apple AirTag - a device used to track belongings - alerted her to the absence of her luggage upon landing at LAX Airport. The stunning presenter revealed that her bag had apparently landed in the States, but had been stolen from the carousel. As she documented her panic on social media, Maura admitted she was suffering from anxiety due to the gaffe, saying "I have work when I land. I have work."

The drama didn't end there - as Maura frantically searched for a solution, she took to Instagram to share an image of her lost luggage alert. Alongside the screenshot of her AirTag alert, Maura penned "Oh brilliant. Now I have to sit on this flight riddled with anxiety until I land in LAX." The caption was met with sympathy from fans, who could only imagine how stressful the situation must be.

But what's really got everyone talking is Maura's rise to stardom. As one source revealed last month, "Maura had landed the job on the Peacock show, which has run for four series...Bosses have commissioned an Aftersun series to run as a companion show and it will be fronted by Maura Higgins..." It seems Maura's stateside career is going from strength to strength - and we can't wait to see what's next!

As for Pete Wicks, it looks like he's got his hands full with two new loves. But does this mean the end of his romance with Jowita? Only time will tell. One thing's for sure: Maura Higgins is still sizzling hot on-screen - and off-screen drama only adds to her appeal.

Sources close to the couple confirmed the pair are now officially dating, having grown close while performing together on Strictly Come Dancing in 2024, around the time he was dating Maura

In related news, The Scholarly Note has learned that Love Island Games presenter Maura Higgins is set to host Aftersun series alongside her other TV commitments. As a source revealed, "Her stateside career is going from strength to strength and comes off the back of her doing Traitors US...Maura would love to spend more time doing work in the US and it feels like this is the next step to that."

Maura was met with comments from the likes of best pal Molly-Mae, who shared: 'WOWWWWW'
