Maura Higgins thrills fans as she unleashes curves in microscopic string bikini

Maura Higgins has jetted off on her first holiday in a year, whipping out her passport 12 months after her stint on Love Island.

Celebrating the sun-soaked trip, the 29-year-old bombshell posed for a series of bikini photos by the poolside in Greece.

Wearing a lilac two-piece, her bikini top and briefs were patterned with tropical flowers and nautical stripes.

By way of accessories, she added a golden wristwatch and a chic straw sunhat, keeping her face out of the sun.

Stretching out on a sun lounger with azure blue water in the backdrop, she penned the caption: “I’ll wait for you here…”

And a second exclaimed: “Stunning!”

“Such a dream…” added a third.

The glamorous holiday snaps come just days after Maura appeared to take a swipe at her ex Curtis Pritchard, though the two ended their relationship back in March.

Curtis was pictured kissing the woman he had been accused of cheating on Maura with – a claim he has repeatedly denied.

Apparently referring to his new romance, Maura penned a cryptic tweet, writing: “The truth always comes out in the end.”

When contacted for comment by Daily Star Online, a spokesperson was unavailable for Curtis.

Maura and Curtis landed in fourth place on last year’s Love Island, with the Irish bombshell later announcing their split in a heartfelt statement shared over Instagram.

Admitting there were “no bad feelings” between the former flames in March, she said: “Curtis and I have made the decision to separate. We enjoyed a great experience from our time in the villa and want to thank everyone for supporting our relationship.”
