Maura Higgins showcases her toned physique in plunging black sports bra as she arrives at Brisbane airport ahead of reunion with Pete Wicks
Maura Higgins made sure she showed off plenty of skin as she arrived at Brisbane airport on Tuesday.
The Love Islander, 34, showed off her toned physique as she opted for a plunging black Alo sports bra and matching black leggings for the plane ride.
The reality star tied a white hoodie around her waist for when it got chilly in the cabin and completed her look with a pair of black UGGs and matching Alo socks.
Maura embraced her natural beauty after her time in the jungle, going bare-faced and tying her brunette locks into French braids.
The star beamed as she wheeled her Louis Vuitton suitcase through the airport as she prepared to head home to reunite with Pete Wicks.
During her time on I’m A Celeb, Maura seemingly confirmed she was dating the Strictly star after they were seen kissing for a few weeks before she went down.

When asked by Oti Mabuse whether or not she was single, Maura replied: “I am, but I had been seeing someone before I came in, but I’m not in a relationship.”
Rev. Richard then asked, “Was it exclusive?” Or if I put you on the spot, sorry!’, to which she replied after a long silence: ‘I don’t know’.
And appearing on This Morning last Friday, she shared her excitement to see Pete and admitted he had been so helpful.
She confessed, “Honestly, he’s been so helpful. I didn’t know if he was still on Strictly. I’m so proud of him and he’s proud of me and I can’t wait to see him.”
Alison then cheekily asked if he could be a bridesmaid at the couple’s wedding – with Maura giggling before agreeing to the request: “Yes, you can be a bridesmaid, Alison.”
During I’m A Celeb, Maura revealed the pair had known each other for longer than fans would expect – and said Pete had pursued her relentlessly.
“Yes, we’ve known each other for five years and never…” she said to Oti.
‘He always said, “Oh no, we’re going on a date somewhere.” And I would say, “Actually no.” And I was dead serious: ‘Actually no. You’re delusional.’

When asked why she ultimately changed her mind, Maura explained: ‘He wouldn’t give up. And then I thought, “Oh, great.”
“I brought my friends along and I thought, ‘Look, this is a friendship date.’ And the next time I went, it was just me.”
Talking about their first date, Maura revealed that no expense was spared, noting: ‘We went out for oysters and wine. Yes, come on. It was great fun.’
As for their chemistry, Maura joked, “Yes, very nice. We just call each other 24/7. We have exactly the same sense of humor.’
Despite his busy Strictly stint, Pete has shown he is still thinking about Maura as he reposted Maura’s Instagram, which is run by her friends and family while she is Down Under, and urged people to vote for her.
He joked: “I’ve been George of the Jungle, but now it’s time to vote for Maura of the Jungle.”
The Mail on Sunday previously revealed Pete has ended his romantic relationship with his Strictly partner Jowita Przystal – as he is determined to win Maura’s heart.
Sources close to Pete say he is telling friends he is completely in love with the jungle star he has been casually dating for the past five months.

When he started Strictly and met Jowita, Maura gave up all hope of the relationship lasting.
A friend said: ‘Before Maura went into the jungle, Pete wanted to make their relationship exclusive.
‘But Maura, aware of Pete’s reputation and his close relationship with Jowita, decided to take things easier.
‘She gave him an ultimatum: be faithful to her or let it go. So she left a single woman.
“Since then, Pete has gone all in and openly expressed his feelings to anyone who will listen.”
But while Pete has ultimately decided that Maura is the one for him, the reality star’s mother issued a stern warning about her daughter.
And after Maura’s confession, her mother Sharon told The Sun what her one piece of advice for Pete would be.
She told the publication: “But you know something? Just goes to show, anyone dating her, be careful, don’t get in Maura’s way!’.
Sharon went on to say that she has not seen the star on Strictly Come Dancing and has no plans to do so.
She explained that she had yet to meet the reality star and had not followed his TV appearances.
She said: ‘I never watch Strictly. I’ve never been interested in it. It’s not a show I’ve ever seen, so I’m not going to start it now.’
