Maura Higgins<\/strong><\/a> is only thinking about lacing up her ballroom shoes on Dancing With the Stars<\/em><\/a> season 35 \u2014 and no romances.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo be honest, I just want to put my focus on the dancing<\/a>,\u201d Higgins, 35, exclusively told Us<\/em> on Wednesday, September 2, when asked if a relationship was off the table, as partner Mark Ballas<\/strong> chimed in, \u201cAin\u2019t nobody got time for that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Higgins agreed with her partner\u2019s sentiment, saying, \u201cYeah, there\u2019s no time. These rehearsals are like \u2026\u201d Ballas, 40, interjected to add, \u201cWe\u2019re busy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Higgins was previously announced before Wednesday as one of the celebrities<\/a> competing on the beloved reality show, where she is partnered with her former Traitors<\/em> costar Ballas. While the pair already have some history together, Higgins shared that she didn\u2019t learn \u201canything\u201d from the NBC show that she will bring with her to DWTS<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI learned that I\u2019m a very bad game player. I don\u2019t do well playing games. I mean, I knew that before going in. I don\u2019t think there\u2019s anything I can really bring from Traitors to the ballroom,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s such a different show. Obviously you\u2019re looking over your shoulder and you can\u2019t trust anyone in there. But it\u2019s nice now because this show, everyone is like a family. I can actually trust Mark. He\u2019s the professional. He\u2019s not going to want to let me down. I don\u2019t want to let him down. So we\u2019re a team.\u201d<\/p>\n

While all pairings are vying for the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy, the former Love Island<\/em> star shared that she\u2019s \u201cnot looking at it like a competition.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI just want to put my focus on working really hard. Doing the best I can do and have fun along with it. Everyone is so lovely. I can\u2019t look at someone like competition because everyone is so sweet,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
