Maura Higgins and Chris Taylor have shown off their “first pet”.
Following months of romance rumours, the Love Island stars finally confirmed their relationship on Tuesday.
The couple are currently in Dubai, where they celebrated Maura’s 30th birthday on Wednesday.
Taking to Instagram on Saturday, the couple posed beside a camel in the Dubai desert, with Chris joking that the humped backed animal named Reginald was their first pet.
Chris wrote: “BIG DAY!…after a lot of consideration myself & @maurahiggins took home our first pet 🎉 Everyone…meet Reginald 🐪.
“He sh*ts 87 times a day and has breath that could KO Dwayne Johnson hiding behind a Walrus, but he’s our little guy.
“I’ll be starting an Instagram page for Reginald in due course, so keep your 👀 out for it. He’ll mostly be promoting oral hygiene products, so give him a follow when he pops up.”
Maura commented on the snap, writing: “His name is humpy 😤”
