Love Island star Maura Higgins says she can’t walk down the street without someone shouting her famous “fanny flutters” catchphrase at her.
But rather than be offended, the Irish beauty loves it.
Maura says: “I get it all the time. I can be walking down the street and people will pull down their windows and shout it at me.
“I had a really young girl say it to me as well – she probably didn’t know what it meant. I just laugh.”
Maura, who is currently appearing in Dancing On Ice, has also teamed up with lingerie firm Ann Summers in a deal thought to be worth six figures.

And as the sexy brunette shows off her amazing curves in the new Valentine’s range, she admits she was thrilled to get the job – as she loves wearing the company’s sexy lingerie.
“I feel incredible in it,” she reveals. “And I love wearing it on a night out as well – I wear the bras underneath an open blazer or the suspenders with a dress.
“I feel insane in every single piece. Doing this photoshoot, I was on cloud nine.”
Maura’s hectic training schedule for Dancing On Ice has left her struggling to see Love Island boyfriend Curtis Pritchard.
The 29-year-old says: “My training is every single day. I don’t have a day off so it is hard. We don’t get to see each other a whole lot, but it’s working.”

But all that exercise is paying off and she looks better than ever.
“My body has definitely changed – it’s toned up a lot,” Maura says. “But I think it would take a lot for my bum to grow, although it’s something I pray for every day!
“Doing the show is so tough, though – it’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done. I’ve never danced or performed, I don’t even go to the gym, and now every week is just getting tougher.
“We only have a week to learn a brand-new routine but I am loving the experience.”
After coming fourth in last year’s Love Island with dancer Curtis, Maura decided to move over to the UK full-time from her County Longford home.

And she reckons that’s been her most significant post-show change.
“I basically started a new life,” Maura says. “It’s not just being in the public eye – it’s moving my whole life over here.
“The biggest difference I’ve seen is the English don’t party as much.
“But I’m so busy now, I don’t have time be out partying all the time.”
Maura has been watching the current series of Love Island and her favourite contestant is straight-talking Shaughna Phillips.

“I think she’s a really good character – she’s fun and bubbly,” says Maura. “I’d be friends with her.
“It’s early days so there’s a lot of being safe, but there will be a point coming soon where they will forget about the cameras and so much more will happen.
‘They need a Maura though, don’t they! Could I do a surprise appearance?
“I don’t think Curtis would be very happy about that.”
Maura is not sure whether she and her fella will be spending Valentine’s Day together.

But she has plenty of advice for women looking to spice up February 14.
Maura says: “Valentine’s Day is about bringing out the spark in a relationship. It’s 100% important for women to be confident when it come to sex.
“If you are confident from within, it will definitely show on the outside.
“Do something spontaneous, put yourself out of your comfort zone – and, of course, wear some sexy lingerie.”
