Maura Higgins Is Back On The Ice

After taking a few days off work, Maura Higgins is back on the rink ahead of her appearance on Dancing On Ice.

The Love Island star spent Christmas at home with her family in Longford but it didn’t take her too long to get back into her skating boots, if that’s the correct sporting terminology.

Posting videos from Mullingar on Ice, Mullingar’s first indoor winter ice rink, she seems to be really getting into the swing of things.

The 29-year-old will be competing against Michael Barrymore, Eastender’s Joe Swash, H from Steps, Diversity’s Perri Kiely, Corrie star Lisa George, Paralympic champ Libbi Clegg and her guide dog Hattie, former chat show host Trisha Goddard, ITV newsreader Lucrezia Millarini, footballer Kevin Kilbane, magician Ben Hanlin and glamour model Caprice Bourret.

Dancing On Ice comes to ITV on January 5, so that means Maura will be having a very low-key New Year’s Eve, but at least we have weeks of entertainment lying ahead of us.

She’s never let us down before now, has she?
