LOVE Island's Maura Higgins has shared a photo of her cosied up to Curtis Pritchard to silence split rumours.
The former ring girl enjoyed a rare yet romantic date night with the professional dancer at Sheesh in Chigwell on Monday night, after being plagued by speculation they have broken up just weeks after leaving the villa.
Maura slipped into a black body con dress, complete with a Gucci belt, as she sat beside her lover with her hand placed on his leg.
While Curtis also opted for a classic monochrome ensemble as he wore black jeans and a plain white T-shirt.
Maura captioned the Instagram post: "Date night".
The post has received a lot of attention, as it has racked up over 170,000 likes.
Fans flocked to praise the couple to dispel split rumours.
One wrote: "THANK GOD YOU DIDNT BREAK UP", another commented: "They are still together phew."
A third added: "Awww you two, so nice to see a photo of you together. You make such a gorgeous couple."
A separate fan wrote: "Absolutely love that you’ve seen the rumours and just smacked back with this."
Curtis further hit back at break up rumours as he shared a video of Maura in bed, although he had to leave her to go to work.
Maura and Curtis came fourth on the show but have struggled to spend quality time together outside of their work commitments.
Curtis has been on the move almost non-stop since the show, popping up across Britain, as well as Mallorca at Gringos Bingo where he took a girl up on stage for a dance, and has joined The Greatest Dancer.
While Maura has been out and about at numerous public appearances, but her weeks have been busy since leaving the ITV2 dating show she has had to cancel some future PAs following advice from her doctor.

Speaking in an Instagram Story, she said: "I have been with a doctor, and I am feeling good because I had a really good sleep. I need to do it for me because I am shattered, and I have not time for normal stuff. It's a big shock to the system when you come out of the villa, and I have not had a down day."
But last week the pair set tongues wagging they had split after Maura was pictured arm in arm with a mystery man on a wild night out.
Maura and Curtis coupled up with one another on Love Island after he called time on his romance with ex "half girlfriend" Amy Hart, although Curtis had admitted he had previously slipped into Maura's DMs before entering the villa.
