MAURA Higgins cuddled up to Curtis Pritchard as they put on a united front at the Strictly Come Dancing launch last night.

The Love Island couple have been dogged by split rumours this week, but taking to Instagram this morning, Maura was determined to prove they are happier than ever.

Posting a glam shot of them in front of the band area on the Strictly Come Dancing set after watching Curtis' brother AJ meet his new celebrity partner for the 2019 series, Maura wrapped her arms around Curtis' waist.

Meanwhile the 23-year-old ballroom dancer grinned for the camera as he placed a hand on Maura's back, pulling her in to him.

Curtis looked smart in a black tuxedo style jacket and open necked white shirt, while Maura, 28, pulled out all the stops in a glittering black and gold embellished mini dress.

The former grid girl added statement earrings and wore her brunette hair up in a loose top knot style.

The couple's former Love Island co-stars were quick to comment on the loved up snap, with Anton Danyluk writing: "Looking great guys" while India Reynolds added: "Amaze!!"

Earlier this week, Maura shared another cosy snap with Curtis on a date night to silence any split rumours. 

The couple enjoyed a rare yet romantic date night at Sheesh in Chigwell on Monday night, after being plagued by speculation they have broken up just weeks after leaving the villa.

Maura captioned the Instagram post: "Date night".

Curtis further hit back at break up rumours as he shared a video of Maura in bed, although he had to leave her to go to work.

Maura and Curtis came fourth on the show but have struggled to spend quality time together outside of their work commitments.

Curtis has been on the move almost non-stop since the show, popping up across Britain, as well as Mallorca at Gringos Bingo where he took a girl up on stage for a dance, and has joined The Greatest Dancer.

While Maura has been out and about at numerous public appearances, but her weeks have been busy since leaving the ITV2 dating show she has had to cancel some future PAs following advice from her doctor.

The Sun has also revealed how the Irish beauty has signed a six-figure deal with lingerie brand Ann Summers, which is bound to keep her even busier in the coming months.
