Love Island star Maura Higgins’ mystery new man revealed as hunky Merlin actor Bradley James
MAURA Higgins’ mystery new man has been revealed as hunky Underworld actor Bradley James.
The 29-year-old Love Island star was spotted on a romantic date with her new beau earlier this week – but his protective face mask obscured his identity.
He has now been identified as 37-year-old English actor Bradley.
The blonde star first shot to fame as King Arthur in BBC series Merlin back in 2008.
He has also starred alongside A-listers such as Kate Beckinsale and Charles Dance in other high-profile roles; including Underworld, and Damien.
Two years ago, Bradley secured the lead role in Netflix four-part drama series The Liberator, which will see him play American World War II hero Brigadier General Felix Sparks.
It is due to be released on 11 November, with Bradley said to divide his time between London and Los Angeles.
Despite being in the industry for over a decade, the hunk is incredibly private about his personal life and has had no other high-profile romances.
He and Maura were spotted leaving Amazonico Restaurant in Mayfair, London on the 28th October.
