Maura Higgins displays her jaw-dropping figure in a white bikini as she enjoys boozy lunch during lavish sun-soaked getaway
The Love Island bombshell, 34, looked happier than ever as she showed off her jaw-dropping figure in a white halterneck bikini top, which boasted a large gold star fish on the front.
Maura teamed the stunning swimwear with a matching figure hugging maxi skirt as she hit a beach club during the brand trip with Space NK.
Styling her long dark curly tresses loose, the TV personality shielded from the sun under a large woven beach hat.
She was all smiles during the boozy lunch as she sipped on cocktails alongside pals before showing off her dance moves on the beach.
From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop.
Maura has jetted off to the sunny location with fellow show star Sophie Piper and Samie Elishi for a brand trip.
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.
'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 Sam Thompson makes brutal dig at Harry Cooksley after final
Shakira Khan and Harry Cooksley were named as the runner-up couple on Love Island last night during the live final, with Toni Laites and Cach Mercer instead winning the show Aftersun panelist Sam Thompson has shared his thoughts on Shakira Khan and Harry Cooksley having missed out on winning Love Island. It comes after they were named as the runner-up couple on the reality TV show last night. Shakira, 22, and Harry, 30, placed second in the final after coupling up again less than two weeks. They had previously been involved in a love triangle and Harry has expressed regret over some of his behaviour prior to their recent reconcilation. Some fans have suggested that Shakira would have won if she hadn't been coupled-up with Harry. Love Island fan and companion show panelist Sam, 33, has shared his thoughts whilst discussing the outcome of the live final. Former Made in Chelsea star Sam told the Sun that Shakira was "slightly held back". He told the outlet: "Shakira was slightly held back by Harry yeah, but do you know what he had a bit of a personality transplant at the end." He suggested that Harry is "madly in love" with Shakira, adding that he doesn't believe that will change. Sam told the outlet recently: "They'll come out and he'll see how well she's doing and probably even more in love with her." Sam said that he suspects they will "go strong for a while". He went on to say that Shakira could have won but praised winners Toni Laites, 24, and Cach Mercer, 24. He said: "She could've won it, but I think Toni and Cach are amazing." Shakira and Harry spoke about their relationship after the final. They had been part of a love triangle in the villa, with Harry having also pursued a romance with Helena Ford, 29, prior to his most recent coupling up with Shakira. Asked if they thought they would end up back together, Shakira said: "It was in my dolly daydreams but I didn't think it would be on the cards." Harry said: "I didn't think it was ever reciprocated how I felt. I always wanted it but I just had to bury my emotions and feelings for Shakira because I didn't think there was any going back." Shakira said it had been "tough" as she "wanted him so badly" but had a "battle" between her head and her heart. She added: "If this has taught me anything, it's that I lose in that situation when I let my pride and ego win." Discussing regrets, Harry said: "I definitely regret some of the ways I handled a lot of situations. I think I have learned from them. The main thing was not following my heart when I knew I should have. And not having more time together as a couple." Love Island Series 12 is available on ITVX.
