Inside Love Island USA host Maura Higgins’ romantic date night as stuntman boyfriend flies out to Fiji
MAURA Higgins has enjoyed a perfectly romantic dinner date with her stuntman boyfriend as she takes a break from Love Island USA filming.
The Irish ITV2 star, 32, is currently in the picture-perfect surroundings of Fiji as she films for the Stateside version of the hit matchmaking series.
Maura is the official social media presenter for Love Island USA and recently stunned in a barely-there dress prior to filming.
Now the Glow Up Ireland anchor has documented her down-time between takes and captured her stunning sunset dinner on the beach.
Her dinner date was none other than Bobby Holland Hanton – one of Hollywood’s leading stuntmen.
The pair were spotted hopping into a cab together in London back in May.
Now Bobby, who works as a stunt double for pal Chris Hemsworth as a close friend, has posted similar images of the cute evening to his Instagram page.
While Maura documented her “dinner settings” with a short video of her glass of red wine against the backdrop of the sea, Bobby took an image encompassing the bottle of Merlot, olive oil and their sunset surroundings.
In a further snap Maura gave a full glimpse of their feast with two bowls of pasta on the table.
She then shared a cheers with her man in a snap she captioned: “Perfect.”
Bobby, who now lives in London, initially trained to be a plasterer after his dream of becoming an Olympic gymnast failed.
But he decided to become a stunt man after spotting an old friend doing it in Bond film Casino Royale.
His first role was in Quantam of Solace, being Daniel Craig’s double and he went on step in for some of the biggest names in Hollywood – including Henry Cavill, Ryan Reynolds, Channing Tatum and Jake Gyllenhaal.
Bobby struck up a friendship with Chris Hemsworth and has worked with him for over eight years.
In fact the pair are so close, they launched a health and fitness app called Centr together.
Speaking about his extraordinary career to The Sun a few years ago, he said: “I was apprehensive stepping on to the set of Quantum Of Solace in January 2008, but everyone was so welcoming, including Daniel, who was really down to earth.”
