LOVE ISLAND star Maura Higgins is used to setting pules racing having worked as a ring girl before finding fame.
The reality star, 30, was once a ring girl for boxing superstar Anthony Joshua.

Maura, who appeared on the ITV2 dating show in 2019, initially had her sights set on boxer Tommy Fury.
In a bid to impress him, she revealed that she was a ring girl, she said: “You’re a boxer – you know I’m a ring girl?”
Tommy was pleasantly surprised, she continued: “I’ve only been doing it like two years. Joshua. His last two or three fights in London.”

Maura is now a model and media personality, regularly sharing stunning snaps on Instagram.
