As a dedicated fan of Maura Higgins, it’s fascinating to witness her transformation over the years, particularly from this throwback bikini snap that resurfaced after her I’m A Celebrity stint. It’s hard to believe that the radiant, confident woman we see today was once just a budding star!


In a throwback photo, Maura Higgins appeared nearly unrecognizable as she donned an older swimsuit, prompting recognition after her entry into the I’m A Celebrity jungle.

The photo was captured prior to Maura, aged 33, gaining notoriety on Love Island in 2019, when she emerged as a popular figure due to her spirited and humorous demeanor within the show.

Maura has significantly changed her public image from her early reality TV years, and she’s openly discussed her cosmetic enhancements in an interview with TopMob.

Eight years prior to her television debut, a photograph captured Maura, then 21, sporting a distinctly different look compared to her present-day image.

Maura displayed an equally breathtaking appearance, showcasing her athletic physique in a vibrant purple swimsuit, as she struck poses contrasted by a pristine white background.

She was wearing a full face of make-up with her glossy brunette locks styled in tumbling curls.

Maura, who posed by pulling at her bikini bottoms, also sported a collection of colorful bracelets.

In a conversation, it was mentioned that the previous ring girl discussed the aesthetic procedures she underwent following her stint on the ITV2 reality dating program back in 2021.

She mentioned that she underwent a lip enhancement procedure approximately three months following her exit from Love Island. These lip fillers usually last between five to six months. Since then, she hasn’t undergone any additional treatments; instead, she allowed the effects to naturally fade away.

Despite my best efforts to maintain a natural appearance, others persist in thinking I’ve gotten lip and Botox enhancements, or even suggesting that I’ve altered my nose – all of which is untrue.

She shared: ‘I wore braces for quite some time, and since then, my teeth have shifted which has caused my lips to protrude slightly. I feel that I no longer require them. If I were to get lip augmentation now with my straight teeth, it wouldn’t suit me well.’

This past week, Maura opted for no clothes while rejoicing her 34th birthday by taking a chilly shower under the jungle’s sprays.

During Monday’s episode, the TV personality faced the chilly waters as a means to start celebrating her birthday while in the jungle.

Maura stepped under the unique jungle shower, revealing a miniature black triangle swimsuit adorned with flowers.

Doesn’t it feel awful, doesn’t it?” That’s what GK said to Maura sympathetically, as she screamed due to the chilly weather.

Later on, the TikTok user was overheard commenting: “What a terrible spot to celebrate a birthday, poor thing. Perhaps we could share some birthday treats with her since it’s such a significant milestone.

‘Happy birthday,’ Jane says in the morning as she hugs Maura. ‘What a weird birthday to have.  

Later on, Maura mused: ‘My birthday in the jungle was truly unforgettable – a celebration I’ll remember for a lifetime.’

Initially, Tulisa chose to have a lie-in. However, she was eventually roused from sleep by the melodies of a musical theater performance.

After leaving the Leaders’ Lodge, Tulisa advised me against any morning musical theater performances. To fulfill her request, I took it upon myself to ensure our camp awoke today to the pleasant sounds of singing instead!

After receiving the revised assignments from new leaders Barry and Danny, the campers got down to work, taking care of their tasks for the day.

On her birthday, it turned out that Maura had to clean the toilet (dunny) with Colleen. This wasn’t a typical birthday celebration, but an unusual event that Maura would likely remember for quite some time.

Before setting foot into the jungle, Maura confessed to TopMob that she hadn’t given much consideration to taking a dip in the jungle shower, an experience reminiscent of Myleene Klass’s iconic white bikini incident in 2006.

In a light-hearted manner, she playfully remarked, “Well, it might turn out to be more disastrous than glamorous. You know, I might trip and sprain an ankle – or worse, end up with a broken leg. That’s probably what happened to me.

I’ve got my swimsuits all ready, yet I haven’t given the matter much thought. I’m a tad anxious because I suspect the water might be quite chilly.

‘I hate cold water, so, um, I could be the girl that doesn’t shower the whole time.’
