Love Island's Maura Higgins sports a salmon hoodie and leggings as she heads home after a day at the rink for Dancing On Ice training
She was the first celebrity confirmed to be taking part in Dancing On Ice.
And Maura Higgins showed she was wasting no time getting prepared for the role as she was spotted chatting to her skating instructor following rehearsals on Monday.
The Love Island star, 28, also stopped to stroke a fan's dog as she packed up her belongings after a busy day preparing for her debut performance in January.

Maura said on the show: 'I've skated once in my life for fun, so I've no experience at all. I'm up for the challenge.'

The star admitted she is nervous about performing the headbanger move on the ice, which involves a skater being picked up by the ankle and spun around by their partner.
'[The headbanger] is what frightens me. I'm more excited than scared. I'm competitive so I think that will drive me.'
The contestants have not been paired with their professional dance partners yet but Maura admitted she's hoping to have someone who will crack the whip.

During the interview Maura was quizzed on whether Curtis had finally asked her to be his girlfriend.
'He's not,' she said, adding: 'So we haven't seen each other in two weeks but that's because of our hectic schedules, but I mean, I'm happy with the pace we're going and I think he is as well.'
On how they manage with such hectic schedules, Maura said: 'I mean, it's not hard. I don't find it hard because I'm kept busy and he is too.
'Obviously it's very different after coming out of the villa where you were with each other 24/7, but coming out, it's a whole new relationship.'
They revealed they were officially boyfriend and girlfriend in an interview in last week's OK magazine.
