Former Love Island star Maura Higgins whisked her Strictly pro boyfriend away to the five-star Corinthia London for a luxurious relaxing break
Maura Higgins and Giovanni Pernice shared snaps from their romantic spa break as they celebrated the Strictly professional’s recent birthday.
Former Love Island star Maura, 30, whisked Giovanni away to the five-star Corinthia London for a luxurious relaxing break as the dancer turned 31 on 4 September.
Maura shared several snaps of the mini break on her Instagram Stories, beginning with a sweet photo of the couple wearing matching white robes as they traveled down to the spa in a wood-panelled lift.
She then posted a glimpse of their hotel room which featured a huge floor-to-ceiling balloon display, to celebrate Giovanni’s birthday.
The black and gold balloons were complemented by a stunning floral arrangement, which was entwined within the balloon arch, and a black placard spelling out the Strictly star’s name could be seen.
In front of the display was a bottle of champagne chilling on ice, alongside two glasses, and a delicious looking chocolate cake.
Giovanni reposted the video on his own Instagram page, and wrote: “You are the best @maurahiggins.”
Maura then shared a picture of the serene looking spa, as well as a snap of their breakfast, which featured pancakes, fruit, orange juice and croissants.
While the former Love Island star munched on crepes and fruit dusted with icing sugar, it appeared Giovanni was tucking into a healthier breakfast of avocado and poached eggs on toast.
She then have her followers a glimpse of the couple’s stunning view from their room, as she played Silk Sonic’s saucy track Leave the Door, which features the lyrics, “I’m sipping wine, in a robe, I look too good to be alone.”
The last video from their trip was a close up of the food at their romantic dinner, as she filmed fillets of beef sizzling on a hot plate.
Giovanni also shared sweet snaps from their trip to London, including a black-and-white picture of the couple cuddled up in bed as they woke up in the morning.

In the photo, Maura can be seen wearing an eyemask and holding a teddy bear, as she cradled her boyfriend’s face with her hand.
The trip was to coincide with Giovanni’s birthday, and it could be the last time the couple will be able to spend some quality time together before the rigorous Strictly filming schedule begins later this month.
Maura and Giovanni reportedly began dating earlier this year, but went Instagram official with their blossoming romance in August.
Giovanni is due to return to the Strictly ballroom for the upcoming series, as it’s rumoured he will be paired up with Coronation Street actress Katie McGlynn.
The duo previously enjoyed a brief romance five years ago, and according to The Sun, Maura has warned the Italian hunk to “be respectful” during his time on the show.
