Maura Higgins is all smiles as boyfriend Pete Wicks arrives at her house to celebrate his birthday

JUNGLE star Maura Higgins looks wild and untamed as she poses for a racy photoshoot — before camping out at home with her new man, Pete Wicks.

The Love Island star, 33, is set to head to Australia this month after signing up for I’m A Celebrity.

And she was all smiles as Strictly Come Dancing’s Pete was spotted at her house on his 36th birthday.

After her all-black leather and lace outfit for the Ann Summers pic, Maura relaxed in a black tracksuit as she left the Essex flat on Friday.

She emerged shortly after Pete was seen getting into his car outside her pad.

The pair confirmed their romance last month — and are sure to have a croc-ing time before she leaves for Oz.

The reality TV star scooped up the role after former islander, Tommy Fury pulled out just weeks before the show started.

Tommy's late exit helped pave the way for the Irish model and TV host because it meant there wouldn't be two stars from the ITV2 dating show going into the jungle in the same year.

A Jungle insider said: "With Tommy Fury pulling out it gave show bosses the opportunity to look at other Love Island stars and Maura stood out as the perfect candidate.

"She'll bringing a bit of glamour to the jungle and make a brilliant campmate because she's got a great sense of humour and is bound to get on with everyone."

Pete, who is currently on Strictly Come Dancing, had sent fans into a whirlwind of speculation after he 'kissed' his dance partner Jowita Przystał during a steamy performance during a week of non-stop speculation over 'will they/won't they'.

The kiss led Strictly fans to be convinced that there was something going on, on a romantic level, between Pete and Jowita.
