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 to flash plenty of skin as she was seen arriving at the airport in Brisbane on Tuesday. 

The Love Islander, 34, showcased her toned physique as she opted for a plunging black Alo sports bra and matching black leggings for the plane. 

Tying a white hoody around her waist for when it got chilly in the cabin, the reality star completed her look with a pair of black UGGs and matching Alo socks. 

Embracing her natural beauty after her stint in the jungle, Maura went bare-faced and tied her brunette locks back in French plaits. 

The star beamed as she wheeled her Louis Vuitton case 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 that she was dating the Strictly star after they were seen kissing a few weeks before she headed down under. 

When asked by Oti Mabuse whether or not she was single, Maura replied: 'I am but I was seeing someone before I came in but I'm not in a relationship.'

Reverend Richard then asked: 'Was it exclusive? Or if I've put you on the spot, sorry!', to which she replied after a long pause: 'I dunno'.

And appearing on This Morning last Friday she shared her excitement to see Pete and admitted he had been so supportive. 

She confessed: 'Honestly he's been so supportive. I didn't know if he was still in 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 pair's wedding - with Maura giggling before agreeing to the request: 'Yes, you can be a bridesmaid Alison.'

During I'm A Celeb Maura revealed that the pair had known each other for longer than fans might expect - and said Pete had pursued her relentlessly.

'Yeah, we've known each other since five years and never once..." she told Oti.

'He would always say, "Oh no, like, we are gonna go on a date somewhere." And I'd be like, "We're actually not." And I was deadly serious, "We're actually not. You're delusional."'

When asked why she eventually changed her mind, Maura explained: 'He wouldn't give up. And then I was like, "Oh fine".

'I brought my friends with me, and I was like, "see it's a friendship date." And then the next time I went, just me.'

Recounting their first date, Maura revealed no expense was spared, noting: 'We went out for oysters and wine. Yeah, come on. It was super nice.'

As for their chemistry, Maura quipped: 'Yeah, a lot of fun. We just dial up 24/7 with each other. We've got the very same humour.'

Despite his busy Strictly stint, Pete has showed that he still has Maura on his mind as he reposted Maura's Instagram which is being run by her friends and family while she's Down Under -and urging people to vote for her. 

He quipped: '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 that Pete has put a stop to his romantic liaison with his Strictly partner Jowita Przystal - because he is determined to win the heart of Maura.

Sources close to Pete say he is telling friends he is completely smitten with the jungle star who he has been casually dating for the past five months.

When he began Strictly and met Jowita, Maura gave up any hope of the relationship continuing.

A friend said: ‘Before Maura entered the jungle, Pete wanted to make their relationship exclusive.

'But Maura, aware of Pete’s reputation and his close bond with Jowita, decided to slow things down.

'She gave him an ultimatum: either commit to her or let it go. So she went off a single woman.

'Since then, Pete has gone all-in, openly expressing his feelings to anyone who’ll listen'. 

But while Pete may have finally decided Maura is the one for him, the reality star's mother issued a stern warning about her daughter. 

And following 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? That just shows you, anyone who's to date her - watch out: don't cross Maura!'.

Sharon went on to say that she hasn't watched the star on Strictly Come Dancing and has no plans to.

She explained she had yet to meet the reality star and hadn't been keeping up with his TV appearances.

She said: 'I never watch Strictly. I've never had interest in it. It's not a show I've ever watched, so I'm not going to start now.'
