Girls gotta stick together!

Maura Higgins has revealed the one dancer she does not want to be paired with for her upcoming stint on Dancing With The Stars US.

Speaking to E! News, she said she will be remaining fiercely "loyal" to her best pal and former contestant Brooks Nader, who dated dancer Gleb Savchenko.

She said: "I’d be happy with anyone but Gleb, That’s only because I’m loyal and I’m friends with Brooks [Nader]."

"I don’t really like the way he speaks about women. I don’t really want to spend all my time with someone like that. I’m like, no thank you," Maura added.

Speaking to the Daily Mail, Gleb said in response: "Until I was asked to comment on this story, I’d genuinely never heard of this girl, Maura, so I’m certainly not going to lose any sleep over the opinions of someone I’ve never met."

"It’s odd to publicly attack someone you’ve never even met, but if that’s how she wants to make headlines before the show starts, that’s her choice."

"I’ll stay focused and leave the unnecessary drama to everyone else," he added.
