Maura Higgins and Mark Ballas have ‘tension’ on DWTS and feel ‘disappointed’ to stay
'They don't feel like they're sharing a moment'
Mark Ballas and Maura Higgins are believed to be experiencing tension on Dancing With The Stars. They are said to “feel disappointed” to have stayed in the competition after being saved while in the bottom two, according to body language expert Inbaal Honigman.
We all saw the chemistry, and I thought they were besties, but it looks like the excitement is no longer here as the competition gets close to the end. After they were saved, Inbaal told Covers: “Both Mark and Maura’s faces drop upon understanding they’re in the bottom two.”
“They stop smiling, and their faces turn neutral for a split second, but both fix that reaction almost immediately. Maura lowers her chin and stares directly ahead, adopting her ‘model face’. This expression of prominent cheekbones and wide-open eyes acts as a mask,” he added.

Inbaal continued: “While Julia and Ezra smile and hug, Maura and Mark glance downwards and let out big exhalations, like they’re sighing. They appear disappointed to be staying. The lack of eye contact reveals that Mark and Maura don’t feel they’re sharing a moment.
“They’re not searching for each other’s gaze in order to experience this together. They’re both exasperated to learn of the results, which suggests that there has been some tension between them recently. It could be said the pair could be finding their time frustrating.”
Maura recently revealed she was unwell around the week they were saved. She said: “This week was definitely one of the toughest I’ve had so far. I was really unwell, running on very little energy and trying to learn two dances, but I gave it absolutely everything I had❤️.”
