Their friendship is still going strong today after it blossomed during the fifth series of Love Island in 2019. 

And Francesca Allen, 26, and Maura Higgins, 31, enjoyed a catch up as they left Zuma restaurant in London on Wednesday night.

The girls nearly matched with their outfits, with both Francesca and Maura wearing black jackets and trousers in the same colour which they teamed with cropped tops.

Francesca wore a top in a pastel pink while Maura opted for one in green, with both items leaving their impressively toned stomachs on show.

Maura wore a black face mask as she walked along the street in a bid to protect herself and others from coronavirus.

She carried a green handbag and a gift bag as she walked alongside Francesca who wore lashings of make-up to highlight her pretty facial features. 

The pair no doubt had plenty to talk about following Francesca's recent engagement.

Francesca's fiancé was recently revealed as her family friend, businessman Ed Crossan, who previously dated TOWIE's Amber Turner.

The Love Island beauty revealed in December that Ed, the vice chairman of London-based waste management company Powerday, had popped the question in an idyllic festive proposal, having previously stayed coy on his identity.

Francesca said yes to Ed's proposal at Marylebone's swanky members club Home House and shared images of the moment with her Instagram followers.

Meanwhile Maura also had news after she recently sprung to her friend Molly-Mae Hague's defence when Shaughna Phillips weighed in on Molly's 'tone-deaf' comments about wealth inequality on the recent Diary of a CEO YouTube series. 

Molly, 22, appeared on Love Island in 2019 and last year was named the creative director of clothing brand PrettyLittleThing, a title with a seven-figure salary.

A clip of her December interview on The Diary of a CEO then went viral last week, with Molly's comments that she has 'worked my a**e off' for her wealth and that 'everyone has the same 24 hours in a day' to achieve sparked a backlash.

Shaughna, who appeared on the winter 2020 series of the reality show, tweeted: 'Molly Mae is young, who's had a lot of success really quickly, and not a lot of 'life'.

Adding that she believed Molly would come to regret her comments, she continued: 'So I can understand why she holds those views. We all say things when we're younger and look back and think 'well that was stupid' lol. No shade, I wanna live in her bubble.' 

The tweet wasn't taken lightly with Molly's good friend and fellow 2019 show star Maura who blasted Shaughna for even getting involved.

She wrote: 'Surely you know as someone in this industry how lonely and scary it can be
