Maura Higgins looked totally different before TV fame.
Five years after becoming a Love Island sensation, Maura Higgins is all set to step into the 'I'm A Celebrity' jungle tonight. This 33 year old Irish bombshell and small screen queen is unrecognisable in throwback snaps from before her villa stint.
Rumoured to be cosying up with TOWIE and Strictly hunk Pete Wicks, snaps from her past have surfaced showing Maura at 21 with a decidedly different vibe.

Previously clapping back at surgery rumours, Maura 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 lips out slightly and I feel like I don't need it. If I were to get my lips down now with my straight teeth, it just wouldn't be a good look."
When it comes to her body looking different, Maura has admitted that at one point she developed an 'obsession' with exercise that got so bad she didn't have a period for four months. It was only when her mum Sharon and then boyfriend Chris Taylor brought it to her attention after becoming increasingly concerned about her that Maura was forced to address the issue.
She said in the same interview: "I'm not working out as much as I was, I ended up losing too much weight. I'm not doing it as much, once, twice a week max, and to be honest I'm just really good with my diet. It's all about balance."
"At the weekends I eat what I want and during the week I obviously try my best to eat healthier foods. But with the exercise, it's very easy to get obsessed with it. It got to a stage where it was actually affecting my periods; I lost my period for four months. Especially at my age, it's obviously not good. I want to have kids someday so I know that's just not a good thing to happen."
Maura, who confesses to being more of an 'indoor girl' and has never camped before, is set for a 'shock of her life' as she's dropped into the Junkyard Jungle tonight. This is a secret camp separate from the other celebs.
Viewers will have to stay tuned to see how she copes away from her usual luxurious lifestyle.
