MAURA Higgins flashed her rock hard abs in a stylish co-ord on her way to Dancing With The Stars rehearsals after claims she is being “set up to win”.
The Love Island alum, who The Sun revealed has banked a huge six-figure pay cheque for appearing on the glitzy series, opted for a grey sports bra from Alo Yoga and matching leggings as she stepped out in LA.
Clearly set for a hard day’s training, Maura, 35, swept her brunette locks into a tight bun up-do and went make-up free.
She padded through the venue car park in comfy black flip flops, carrying a big see-through bag which contained her dance shoes.
The Irish beauty looked calm and relaxed as she prepared for her long day.
We recently reported how The US Traitors alum now looks to be sashaying towards the glitterball trophy alongside Strictly head judge Shirley Ballas’s son Mark after the Dancing With The Stars pairings were revealed.

A source told us: “Maura’s been rubbing everyone up the wrong way, even before their first spray tans have dried.
“She was desperate to be partnered with Mark, who’s hugely popular, and was dead against Gleb, who’s now out of a job.
“It’s as if what Maura says goes.
“She’s even made sure to get close to judge Bruno Tonioli and wasted no time posing arm-in-arm with him after a night out.
“It’s not gone unnoticed within the cast that she’s being favoured.
“It’s as if she’s being set up to win.”
Maura made a name for herself in America on The Traitors US, where she reached the final with pro dancer Mark this year.
Now she hopes starring in America’s biggest dance show will help win over more fans ahead of the reboot of former Saturday night dating show classic, Blind Date, which she is set to host on Disney+.
She has also been revealed as the US I’m A Celeb host as her dominance Stateside continues.
With DWTS, we were first to report how she will bank a mega £280K pay cheque if she makes the final stages – and will get £93K even if she’s kicked out in two weeks.
It is an astronomical sum compared to the UK’s Strictly Come Dancing, which reportedly includes a £25k initial fee.
