Maura Higgins breaks down in tears and admits she 'didn't want to be here' as she suffered with 'dark thoughts' after sudden Love Island fame


Speaking in an emotional new interview on Tuesday, the model, 33, recalled the 'very scary' period in her life which saw her thrust into the public eye with no one she could trust.

She has also previously dated Strictly Come Dancing professional Giovanni Pernice, as well as her Love Island co-stars Christopher Taylor and Curtis Pritchard. Maura and Pete, who were first romantically linked in August and have since kept a low profile, shared a tender moment in the corner at the Pride Of Britain after-party on Monday evening. An onlooker exclusively told MailOnline that the pair were inseparable, whispering in each other's ears and even interlocking legs as they enjoyed a drink alongside Wynne Evans, Tom Dean and Jamie Borthwick.
