Maura Higgins shot to fame on Love Island five years ago - and is set to arrive in the I'm A Celebrity jungle tonight. But while the 33-year-old Irish model and TV presenter has turned heads since she's been in the public eye - and is even rumoured to be dating TOWIE and Strictly Come Dancing star Pete Wicks - she hasn't always looked like she does now. In 'before' pictures that have resurfaced from a photoshoot in 2012 when she was just 21, Maura is seen with a very different look.
This has prompted speculation she has work done on her face and body. Though Maura claims she has only had lip filler and braces to even out her teeth - and the rest of it is down to her face and body maturing, plus regular exercise and a healthy diet. After looking at the pictures from her younger years, one cosmetic surgery expert told the Mirror he thought Maura may have had facial contouring on her cheeks and jawline to add definition.
But Maura - who recently won praise for showing fans her grey hairs after revealing she went grey at 18 - has hit back at speculation. She told MailOnline : "I got my lips done three months after coming out of Love Island and lip fillers lasts five to six months. I haven’t had anything done since then, I just let it dissolve.
"But people still assume I’ve had my lips done, Botox, people are even saying I’ve had my nose done when I’ve not actually had any work. I had braces on for a long time and since my teeth have moved, they’ve actually pushed my lip.
