Molly-Mae Hague and Maura Higgins DID meet before Love Island after old picture emerges – OK! magazine

Molly-Mae Hague and Maura Higgins have confirmed they crossed paths before starring on the hit ITV dating show Love Island in 2019.

Taking to her Instagram Stories, 20 year old Molly-Mae posted a photo of herself wearing a stunning white swimsuit with an orange shirt over it.

Molly-Mae, who was recently left heartbroken as her beloved cat was left fighting for its life after being hit by a car, looked beautiful as she wore her hair up in a high bun with a pair of round sunglasses resting on her head.

She captioned it: “No word of a life when i say @maurahiggins was sat at the table opposite me when this pic was taken in dubai.”

“Remember it so clearly seeing her and thinking who is that unreal girl,” she said with three laughing emojis before continuing, “little did we know..

“When she came into the villa it took me two days to realise why I recognised her so much,” alongside a laughing emoji and two mind blown emojis.

Above it, she added: “The world is a very small place….”

Seeing this, Maura immediately took a screenshot and posted to her own Instagram Stories, seemingly confirming the story for herself.

While the reality stars may have admitted to crossing paths before going on the show, Molly-Mae previously denied actually meeting the 29 year old in March last year.

Back in June 2019, a representative for Molly-Mae exclusively told OK! Online: “There is absolutely no truth in that.

“She’s never met Maura before. She’s one hundred percent never been on an influencer trip to Dubai with her before.”

It comes as Maura recently slammed rumours she is romantically linked to her married Dancing On Ice professional partner Alexander Demetriou after he was seen leaving her house.

Alexander, 29, is married to Carlotta Edwards, who also stars on the hit ITV skating show, but was reported to have grown close to Maura during their time together on the ratings hit.

Just weeks after leaving the competition, Maura announced her split from ballroom dancer Curtis Pritchard, and was seen having an emotional conversation with Alexander in a coffee shop.

But the rumour mill went into overdrive this weekend when Alexander was spotted leaving Maura’s home and walking to his car, seemingly looking as if he was trying to go unnoticed.

Newly single Irish beauty Maura has now taken to social media to hit out at the claims.

She wrote to her 154,000 Twitter followers: “2020 & yet again a man & woman can not be friends!

“Me & Alex are friends + joe and I are friends! YES I have more male friends than female! GET OVER IT!!!” [sic]
