Maura Higgins makes Curtis Pritchard dig on sexy snap as she talks 'giving up'

Maura Higgins appears to have made a cryptic dig at ex-boyfriend Curtis Pritchard while sharing a sexy Instagram snap.

The former couple, who met on last year’s Love Island , split earlier this week following reports the ballroom dancer was jealous of her friendship with Dancing on Ice partner Alexander Demetriou.

Taking to Instagram, the reality TV star uploaded a snap of herself wearing an all-white ensemble, and grinning away from the camera.

Underneath the sizzling shot, she wrote: “A strong woman never gives up on herself, but she may give up on you.”

The picture comes days after she announced on Instagram she had parted ways with boyfriend-of-eight-months Curtis.

“Curtis and I have made the decision to separate,” she began.

“We enjoyed a great experience from our time in the villa and want to thank everyone for supporting our relationship.

“There is no easy way to get through a breakup and no bad feeling on either side. We tried to make it work, but it wasn’t meant to be and I wish Curtis nothing but the best for the future.”

Since the split, reports have surfaced surrounding the Irish beauty’s close friendship with her dancing partner Alex.

While there has been no suggestion Maura and Alex are anything more than just pals, a source informed The Sun that their budding friendship hasn’t go unnoticed by his wife Carlotta.

“Maura spent hours and hours with Alex in rehearsals for weeks and they have got really close,’ an insider told the publication.

“They have grown very friendly and it’s not gone unnoticed with the rest of the cast and crew — or Carlotta.

“She is furious about their increasingly cosy relationship which has continued despite Maura being knocked out of the competition.”

Maura hasn’t spoken publicly about the claims, and Carlotta has posted several loved-up snaps alongside her husband on Instagram.
