From being ‘loud’ in bed to her drunken lesbian fling, the brunette beauty, who is worth an impressive £3.2 million, is a mega sex symbol who often leaves men utterly intimidated.
The star, who has 4.1 million Instagram followers and previously dated The Only Way Is Essex icon Pete Wicks, 36, has candidly claimed to ‘love sex’ and isn’t afraid to get frisky even when her mother is home.
Famed for her iconic “fanny flutters” catchphrase, Maura, who has travelled the world as a Monster energy drinks girl, is loved by millions thanks to her sass and sexy innuendos.
And just days after Maura appeared to share a brief drunken kiss with married I’m A Celebrity campmate Danny Jones, 38, at a Brit Awards after-party, here, Fabulous takes a look inside what really goes on behind closed doors for this straight-talking star.
‘Gory’ details and bonking whilst her mother is home
While on I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here!, Maura got candid on her openness when it comes to talking to her mother about what goes on in the sheets.

She explained: “I talk to my mum about… I mean if I slept with a guy, my mum will ask me, ‘Well, what was he like in the bed?’ and she will get every gory detail.”
Not only this, but the star, who is said to have battled a crippling company debt of £678,000 before her jungle stint, also discussed being open about sex.
According to Maura, who has her own beauty line with Inglot, her frank and often honest discussions about sex are what she has always considered “normal”.
She told Her: “Growing up in my house, I was always able to speak about things like that.
“I always talked to my mammy about sex, and I still would now. That’s normal to me.
“You always hear men talking about sex. Why can’t I do the same?
“Even in the villa, so many of the other contestants were so shocked when I’d come out with things, but I was just like, why? It’s normal.
“Men and women are equals so it shouldn’t be shocking.”
Maura Higgins’ Relationship History
EVER since Maura Higgins burst onto the scene back in 2019 as a sassy, bikini-clad babe on Love Island, she has had a number of public relationships…
- James Finnegan (2007-2016)
Before entering the Love Island villa, Maura was in a nine-year relationship with her car salesman ex James Finnegan. The pair were engaged in 2012 – but it wasn’t meant to be and their romance fizzled out four years later before her TV appearance - Curtis Pritchard (2019 -2020)
Maura became a household name when she appeared on Love Island, and she famously coupled up with Curtis Pritchard. The couple continued their romance once the show was over in July 2019. However, it was revealed that they had split but split in March 2020 after a series of blazing rows and public bust-ups - Chris Taylor (2020-2021)
Maura confirmed her relationship with her fellow Love Island star Chris Taylor with an intimate snap in November 2020. But after just a few months together, the couple called time on their relationship and announced they had split up - Giovanni Pernice (2021)
Maura and Strictly Come Dancing pro Giovanni Pernice teased their romance for weeks before confirming they were an item in July 2021. But their relationship hit the rocks days after moving in together just four months after they started dating. By October 2021 they revealed they had split - Joey Essex (2022)
In October 2022, Maura was linked to Towie star Joey Essex. - The pair were pictured snogging at a booze-fuelled Pride of Britain Awards. According to sources, they “spent the night together” and “chatted into the early hours of the morning”
- Bobby Holland Hanton (2023-2024)
Maura started dating American stuntman beau Bobby Holland Hanton in summer 2023. But the couple split in March 2024 after Maura reportedly realised there was no future for them. - Pete Wicks (2024-2025)
Maura and Towie star Pete Wicks were first linked in August 2024 and tried to keep their relationship under wraps. Then in December, Maura and Pete flew to Ireland and spent Christmas together. The pair broke cover and gave fans a glimpse inside their cosy lake house. However, they parted ways in February this year, with Maura even hinting Pete may have cheated. Pete’s pal Olivia Attwood confirmed there had been no infidelity on his part.
As well as this, Maura has also said: “I’d never be ashamed to talk about sex, I was always open about it.
“I could tell my mam about someone I slept with after a night out, I didn’t have to filter anything.”
But that’s not all, as when asked whether she had slept with someone while her mum was home, she replied: “Yes, yes I have.”
Not only this, but she also got candid on her honesty with Daily Star and admitted: “I am upfront about what I want and people respond to it very well.

“They appreciate the fact that I’m not afraid to talk about whatever I want.
“I don’t think anyone should be afraid to do that. We should be able to talk about anything and not be judged for it.
“I have had a lot of young women come up to me and say I have inspired them. That puts a tear in my eye.”
‘Loud’ in bed and ‘10 out of 10’ bedroom antics with Curtis
During her Love Island stint, Maura was seen trying to seduce pro dancer Curtis Pritchard, 29, under the covers.
After he told her: “Tonight’s not the night”, she fumed to the other islanders the next day: “A coffee? An orgasm would be grand.”
Shortly after, speaking to Metro, Maura revealed the real reason why the pair didn’t get intimate – and it’s to do with her volume in the bedroom.
Maura confessed: “I think it was more about keeping people awake! Curtis knows how loud I am.”
Despite this, just days after quitting the villa, Maura wasn’t afraid to hold back when it came to sharing the details of her first bonk with Curtis.
At the time, Maura confirmed that the loved-up pair had sex when they travelled to her home in Ireland.
She told The Sun on Sunday: “I’d give him a ten out of ten.”
Not only this, but Maura also added: “We’ve had a good time. Was he worth the wait? Definitely, 100 per cent.
“I did try a few times in the villa, in the bedroom and on the outside bed.
“I tried but I didn’t succeed. Curtis said that it was for me and him alone, and he didn’t want to do anything in there. And that’s absolutely fine.
“Actually I’m glad now that we waited, because it made it even more special.”
I’m a girl who knows what she wants and goes for it

Not only did Maura not succeed in doing the deed whilst filming for the ITV show, but she also stirred up a storm in her first episode when she set her sights on Tommy Fury, famously giggling that he gave her “fanny flutters”.
She raised eyebrows when she tried to kiss the boxer, who was then coupled with Molly-Mae Hague, and asked him: “Does she turn you on like I do?”
The episode sparked 709 viewer complaints to Ofcom – the highest over a single incident for the whole series – with fans accusing Maura of “predatory behaviour.”
But she hit back: “I’m a girl who knows what she wants and goes for it.
“Tommy and I had chemistry on our date but a lot of what I said was banter and I think Tommy would agree.
“Watching it back I could have approached it differently, but I just went for it.”
‘Lots’ of sex with Chris Taylor
Not only was she candid on her bonk with Curtis, but just months later, she also revealed more on what happened in the sheet with her and BFF Chris Taylor.

Eight months after Maura’s split from Curtis Pritchard, it dawned on her that she and Chris had something much deeper than friendship.
And during their joint interview with Fabulous after falling head over heels for each other, when asked, ‘Is this the best sex you’ve ever had?, Chris confirmed: “Yeah. I was pleasantly surprised! How much do you want me to say?”
Following this, Maura then confirmed: “Yeah. I do love sex.”
Moments later, Chris chimed in: “We have great sex, and lots of it.”
Drunken lesbian fling
Despite Maura having ‘lots’ of ‘great’ sex with Chris, 34, Maura previously revealed that she spent a “drunken night” with a woman when she was younger.

The reality TV star spoke about the steamy fling on ITV2‘s Shopping with Keith Lemon.
During the programme, Maura went toiletry shopping with the comedian, who grilled her about her love life.
Whilst he asked, “Have you been with a lady?”, Maura confirmed: “I actually have.”
The Irish beauty then explained: “It was years and years ago and it was just a drunken night thing.”
But despite this, she admitted: “I am more… man.”

Keith then questioned if she found it different kissing a woman instead of a man, to which Maura confirmed: “It was but I was very drunk, you know.”
However, Maura said she doesn’t consider herself bisexual, as she clarified: “I’m 100% into guys, it was just a drunken crazy night.
“A bit of fun. It was a work friend.”
Top orgasm advice
Also on ITV2’s Shopping with Keith Lemon, Maura got candid on her belief that women need to stop relying on men being “good” in bed and instead should learn how to give themselves an orgasm.
She stressed: “Most girls I know have never had an orgasm.
“But do you know what it is? I don’t think people understand – you actually have to teach yourself how to orgasm, it’s not about how good the man is or whatever, it’s about you as a woman.
Be open if you are not happy with how it is going, but don’t fake a f*****g orgasm
Maura Higgins
“Us women don’t understand how lucky we are, the women that can, do you know what I mean?”
As well as this, as reported by the Irish Independent, Maura claimed: “Sex is a natural thing.
“Be open if you are not happy with how it is going, but don’t fake a f*****g orgasm.
“He is not going to fake it for you. No guy is going to fake it, are they?
“I don’t know why some girls do that. Like, some of my friends would, and I am like, ‘Why? Why would you do that?’”
‘Ruining’ her life with Jerry the sex toy
And on the top of orgasms and self-pleasure, whilst the pubs, clubs and restaurants shut down across the UK during the Coronavirus lockdown, it appeared that Maura didn’t seem to mind the self-isolation too much.
She even called her sex toy “Jerry”[/caption]
At the time, the Dancing on Ice star was seen waving around a sex toy on Instagram.
During a social media clip, Maura held a large pink sex toy and joking around, told the person filming: “His name is Jerry.”
The brunette then turned the toy on, before waving it around manically at two men who were sitting on the sofa.
Joking about the cheeky video, the bombshell quipped: “I am about to ruin my own life with these videos.
“But…this is a bit of entertainment for you all.”

What your sexual fantasies say about you
By Emma Kenny, a TV presenter and psychologist
Raucous Role Play: If your partner enjoys dressing up for fun, it shows creativity and a desire to keep things exciting. However, it might signal that he struggles with responsibility.
Multi-Partner Fantasies: Craving variety doesn’t always mean he wants to cheat. However, it could indicate deeper feelings of unfulfillment.
Power & Control: A little dominance is normal, but if it’s always about control, it may hide insecurities.
Adventure: Men seeking thrills may push boundaries, so be sure your comfort zone is respected.
Passion: If he’s romantic, he’s emotionally tuned in—though occasionally avoiding tough conversations.
Flexibility: Openness to new experiences is great, but constant novelty-seeking could mean avoiding emotional connection.
Red Flag: If control is his ultimate fantasy, it may signal a deeper struggle with power dynamics.
