This comes after The Sun revealed that following her split from Pete, Maura had a profile on dating app Raya.
Raya is a very exclusive dating app, which is notoriously hard to join.
Pete Wicks breaks silence on Strictly curse after split from I’m A Celeb’s Maura Higgins
The dating platform only accepts 8 in every 100 applications.
But despite Maura recently popping up on Raya, some of her pals have said she was not interested in finding someone again so soon after leaving Pete.
A friend explained this week: "Maura’s had a really tough time after everything with Pete.
"Dating again isn’t something she’s interested in, she just wants to be single.
Pete Wicks and Maura Higgins' relationship timeline
Maura and Pete are believed to have met for the first time in 2019, following her stint on Love Island. She late said they "just clicked".
In August 2024, the pair were spotted enjoying a lunch date together in London's Soho.
The following month, Maura showed her support to Pete following the release of his book Never Enough: My Words Unfiltered. She wrote online: "Proud of you."
In October, Pete appeared on Olivia Attwood's podcast and was grilled about his romance with Maura. Olivia said: "Your dating life. Maura Higgins." Pete replied: "Me and Maura have known each other for a long time." Olivia told him she'd seen a photo of them kissing.
Maura spoke briefly about Pete on Paul C Brunson's We Need To Talk podcast in the same month. She said: "We just get on very, very well. I adore him, he's an amazing person."
Later in October, Maura and Pete were spotted kissing and cuddling several times; once at the Pride Of Britain afterparty and again during a dinner date.
Maura jetted off to the jungle for I'm A Celebrity in November. But she continued to pretend nothing was going on. Maura told GK Barry: “No, I'm single. People can date and not be in a relationship and take things slow. What’s the point in getting them involved too soon, when you just don’t know where it’s gonna go, you know?”
In December, Maura and Pete flew to Ireland and spent Christmas together. The pair broke cover and gave fans a glimpse inside their cosy lake house.
Just weeks later, Pete told The Times that he was "s*** scared" of settling down. He also appeared in Loose Women in February and spoke about his fears of commitment.
On February 14, Valentine's Day, it was reported that Pete and Maura had split up.
"Her account popped up on Raya but she’s deactivated it and said she’s not used it in a year."
Joking about the cost of the app, which starts from £9.99 a month, last year, Maura said: “Who would have thought we have to pay for dates nowadays?”
We told last week how I’m A Celeb contestant Maura dumped Towie and Strictly Come Dancing star Pete, 37, after finding messages to other women on his phone.
The pair started dating in August last year.
A source recently said of their split: “Maura was suspicious of Pete and whether he might have been messing her around.
"There’s been some rows over trust.
“She felt she was proved right when she saw loads of messages with other women on his phone.
“She knew she’d never be able to feel like she could trust him — even if the messages were all innocent, it’s not something she could get past.
“She didn’t want to be constantly worried about what her man was doing.
“But Maura remained coy about the relationship the whole time and isn’t going to start bad-mouthing him after the split — she is now just determined to move on from him.”

The Sun on Sunday then later told how Maura was asked where Pete was as she left a restaurant alone on Valentine’s Day.
She was filmed saying: “I don’t know, probably cheating.”
