Maura Higgins sends pulses racing in a skimpy white bikini as she soaks up the sun during lavish Mykonos trip
sent pulses racing in a skimpy two-piece as she soaked up the sun during a lavish trip to Mykonos on Monday.
The Love Island bombshell, 34, flaunted her incredible physique in the blue and white striped bikini, which featured an elegant flower detail.
She seemed to be fresh out of the pool as the reality TV personality wrapped her brunette tresses into a fluffy white towel in the sizzling Instagram snaps.
To accessorise her pool-side look, she wore a myriad of charm bracelets on one arm and some simple gold bangles on the other.
As she sunbathed on a white sun lounger by the pool, Maura can be seen sipping from a white cup.

Maura also took to her Stories to share sizzling snap of her in a triangle yellow bikini and a white sun hat.
The trip comes after her big return to the red carpet, following her 'drunken' kiss scandal with McFly 's Danny Jones earlier this year.
The brunette beauty pulled out all the stops at the BAFTA TV Awards earlier this month, turning heads in a backless blue gown with a huge skirt.
But while she made sure all eyes were on her on her arrival, Maura was later pictured sitting alone during the ceremony and reportedly didn't stay long before making a sneaky backdoor exit.
In a photograph exclusively obtained by MailOnline, the presenter could be seen sitting by herself on her phone in her stunning ball gown at the event.
Meanwhile, in pictures published on The Sun, she later risked the wrath of BAFTA as she left an hour into the ceremony as she snuck into a taxi.
A source told the publication: 'Maura wanted her red carpet return to be a big moment. She thinks enough time has passed — she can't hide forever.'
Explaining how her huge dress meant she was uncomfortable in the cramped hall they continued: 'She was talking about her dress taking up too much space and was absolutely boiling.
'So she snuck out with pal Luke Hamnett while a nominations reel was shown. It'll be frowned upon in TV circles as the Baftas is an incredibly prestigious event and leaving is a big no-no.'
Maura hit the headlines in March, after she and Danny, 39, were spotted in a compromising clinch at the Universal Music's BRIT Awards afterparty, after appearing on I'm A Celeb together last year.
The married singer is said to no longer have a 'normal relationship' with his wife Georgia, 38, and while they are still living under the same roof, they now have 'separate lives'.
Both Danny and Maura have generally kept away from public events since the scandal, until her big return at the BAFTAs, where she kept mum on the kiss.
While she wasn't at risk of any awkward reunions with Danny as he reportedly skipped the ceremony to avoid 'putting a foot wrong' with his wife.
Danny previously issued a public apology to Georgia and their seven-year-old son Cooper, admitting he was 'deeply sorry' and vowing to deal with things privately.
Sources previously claimed to MailOnline that despite their efforts, the couple are like 'passing ships' and friends fear their relationship is hanging on by a thread.
A source said: 'Danny and Georgia have been trying to navigate a very difficult time in their marriage and for the best part they have been taking each day as it comes.
'They may be living under the same roof, but they barely see each other and right now are like passing ships.
'Danny is preparing for his summer gigs with McFly, and Georgia has been attending influencer events and collaborating with brands, all while looking after son, Cooper, who regularly features on her Instagram profile.
'But when they're not working, Danny is out on his motorbike or exercising in the gym, and Georgia is either on her own or spending time with family and girlfriends.
Maura (L) hit the headlines in March, after she and Danny, 39, (R) were spotted in a compromising clinch at the Universal Music's BRIT Awards afterparty, after appearing on I'm A Celeb together last year (both seen on the show)
'They haven't actually been publicly seen together for six weeks and behind the scenes, their relationship is anything but normal.'
But now the singer is also making his TV return and will join the second series of You Bet!, ITV's rebooted challenge show, hosted by Stephen Mulhern.
Danny will appear alongside former I'm A Celeb campmate Oti Mabuse and Olympian Greg Rutherford, and has already filmed some segments at London's Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.
In behind-the-scenes clips shared on his Instagram last weekend, Danny looked upbeat as he returned to work, grinning alongside his co-stars and cheering on contestants tackling extreme rides.

Love Island's Megan Moore reveals why she really dropped out of last year's series - and insists she doesn't look up to ANY stars of the show
Megan Moore will be stepping into the Love Island villa on Monday and has revealed why she dropped out of last year's series. The payroll specialist, who goes by Meg, is one of the 12 new islanders to jet off to Mallorca and star in the newest instalment of the ITV show. Meg had applied for 2024's season but didn't end up entering the villa. Now, she has admitted she 'felt like I wouldn't really have fitted in'. The 25-year-old from Southampton continued living her normal life until she was approached again this year and thought, 'what have I got to lose?' She explained: 'So I applied and did a few Teams interviews or Zoom and then I went up to London, and obviously met the casting, had an interview with them.' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Meg was then kept up to date with things about the show in a WhatsApp group where she would say who she 'fancied' and who her 'top three' would be. 'Then it just got to the point where I felt like I wouldn't really have fitted in, like I just didn't really think, yeah, we'd really get on with that person,' she admitted. 'So they always kept me in the loop and then it just all happened really quickly, to be honest,' Meg added. 'I didn't really think about it, I was still living my normal life. So then obviously, it come around again this year and then they said, 'Meg, would you go for it again?' And I was like, 'Well, nothing's changed',' she revealed. The new islander went on, 'We've been on no dates, I'm still single, so what have I got to lose?' This series marks the tenth anniversary of the ITV show and despite there being plenty of stars in the villa, Meg admitted she hasn't really 'looked up' to any of the previous islanders and celebrities. Instead, she feels like 'you just have to be you' and get to know others for who they really are. 'I think you take you for you, and I think that's what people need to do, and that's what I'll be doing anyway, because I don't think you should change for anyone,' she added. Meg explained: 'And when you say, look up to people like I look up to people in my family, I'll look up to my mum. 'She doesn't have a man, but that's the type of person I'd look up to, to have the same traits as her. So when it comes to celebrities and islanders, no, you just gotta be you.' Meg boasts a strong social media following and regularly posts photographs of her travels. She hopes to meet someone 'tall with a nice tan' who has a good fashion sense and a funny personality to match her own.

UN calls for probe into mass graves at Libya detention centres
GENEVA, June 4 (Reuters) - The United Nations rights office called on Wednesday for a independent investigation into the discovery of mass graves at detention centres in Libya's capital Tripoli. The Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights said it was "shocked" by gross human rights violations uncovered at official and unofficial detention facilities run by the Stability Support Apparatus, a security institution. It was established to uphold the rule of law and falls under the Presidential Council that came to power in 2021 with the Government of National Unity of Abdulhamid Dbeibah through a U.N.-backed process. But Libya, a major oil producer in the Mediterranean, has known little law and order since a 2011 NATO-backed uprising that toppled dictator Muammar al-Gaddafi and eventually divided the country between warring eastern and western factions. The OHCHR said the discovery of dozens of bodies and suspected instruments of torture and abuse confirmed longstanding findings by the U.N. that human rights violations were committed at such sites. "We call on the Libyan authorities to conduct independent, impartial and transparent investigations into these discoveries," OHCHR said in a statement. It urged the authorities to preserve evidence and grant Libya's forensic teams, as well as the United Nations, full access to the sites. Outright war fighting in Libya abated with a ceasefire in 2020 but efforts to end the political crisis have failed, with major factions occasionally joining forces in armed clashes and competing for control over Libya's substantial energy resources. Armed clashes erupted on Monday evening and gunfire echoed in the centre and other parts of Tripoli following reports that the commander of one of its most powerful armed groups had been killed, three residents told Reuters by phone.
