Maura Higgins from Love Island and Bradley James DATING from Underworld

She split from Love Island boyfriend Curtis Pritchard in March.

And MailOnline can show that Maura Higgins (29) is now with the underworld actor Bradley James (37) after the couple got off together in Mayfair in London on Tuesday evening.

The handsome movie star, who has an impressive 488,000 Instagram followers, first rose to fame in 2008 when he landed the role of young King Arthur on the BBC television series Merlin.

The Love Island star looked sensational as she highlighted her toned body in a bright pink mini dress while enjoying a night out with the big movie star at the swanky Amazonico restaurant.

Although he was born in Devon, England and originally lived in Wiltshire, he moved early to his father’s homeland, America.

He returned to England from Florida as a teenager, shortly before beginning his classical training at the Drama Center London.

After starring in Merlin, Bradley was cast as the male villain Varga in Underworld: Blood Wars in 2015, along with A-listers Kate Beckinsale and Charles Dance.

In 2018, Bradley landed the lead role of American war hero Brigadier General Felix Sparks in Netflix’s World War II four-part drama series The Liberator, due to be released on November 11.

The Arsenal FC supporter who has boyfriended Fleabag actress Sian Clifford now lives between London and Los Angeles.

On Tuesday night, Maura beamed in her tiny pink dress for her date with Bradley style and let her poker locks slide over her shoulders as she turned to smile at her actor.

Meanwhile, Bradley wore jeans and a white sweater under a sleek black jacket for the evening.

MailOnline has reached out to Bradley James and Maura Higgins representatives for comment.

Their new romance comes after Dancing On Ice star Maura downplayed her reputation as a “man eater” by admitting she was “only on a date” and “scared” of meeting a new boyfriend.

Speaking to MailOnline recently, she said, “I’m ready to start dating again. But the thing is, besides Love Island, I’ve only ever had one date.

“I know we’ve been on the show together a lot, but you’re in a completely different environment.

Jet set: Arsenal FC’s supporter, who has Fleabag actress Sian Clifford as a boyfriend, splits his time between London and Los Angeles (pictured January 2019).

“Besides that, I was on a date and that was with the guy I was with before Love Island, so I’m not used to the dating scene at all.

“I’m 29 and I had a date! When I think about it, it’s pretty scary.

“I’d be a nervous wreck on a date, which sounds crazy because I’m a confident woman, but I wouldn’t know what to do myself.”

The star split from ex-Curtis Pritchard back in March after they teamed up during last year’s Love Island series.

Since breaking up with her former boyfriend, Maura has sparked speculation that she was dating another co-star, Chris Hughes.

A case of the ex: He was previously in a relationship with Merlin co-star Angel Coulby (40), with whom he has been together since 2011 (picture 2012).

In pictures from The Sun, the two returned to his apartment after a night out in September.

And while they said their relationship was purely platonic, they did little to stop talking when they flirted a storm on Love Island: What Happened Next.

During a confessional, Maura admitted that she was regularly asked about their relationship and said, “I get so much messages about me and Chris!”

The beauty left Chris, 30, feeling hot under her collar as she joked that she needed a “good glue” because of her lackluster dating life in Lockdown.

While Maura also joked during the show that the couple: “One day we might be friends with benefits who knows!”

She was also linked with her Dancing on Ice pro partner Alex Demetriou, 29, after appearing on the show earlier this year.

Maura was still with Curtis at the time when Alexander was married to fellow skater Carlotta Edwards.

Curtis and Maura broke up – although she always denied any romance with her pro partner. And in April, shortly after the series ended, so did Alexander and Carlotta.

Alexander and Carlotta have been removed from the line-up for the upcoming series and replaced by another married duo, Andy Buchanan and Robin Johnstone.
