Maura Higgins looked almost unrecognizable in an old bikini photo that has resurfaced after her arrival in the I’m A Celebrity jungle.
The photo was taken before Maura, 33, found fame on Love Island in 2019 and became a breakout star of the series due to her fiery and funny personality.
Maura has undergone an image overhaul since her early reality TV days and has spoken candidly to MailOnline about her adjustments.
A photo taken eight years before her arrival on the show showed Maura, then 21 years old, looking very different from her current appearance.
Maura looked equally stunning as she showed off her toned figure in a purple bikini as she posed against a white background.
She wore a full face of makeup and her glossy brunette locks were styled in tumbling curls.

Maura, who posed by pulling on her bikini bottoms, also wore a collection of colorful bracelets.
The former ring girl spoke about cosmetic work done following her appearance on the ITV2 reality dating show in 2021.
She said: ‘I had my lips done three months after coming out of Love Island and lip fillers last five to six months. I haven’t done anything since; I just let it resolve.
“But people still assume I got Botox done on my lips. People even say I had my nose done, even though I actually had no work.’
She explained, “I’ve had braces for a long time, and since my teeth shifted, they’ve actually pushed my lips out a little bit. I feel like I don’t need it. If I were to get my lips done now with my straight teeth, it just wouldn’t be a pretty sight.’
Earlier this week, Maura stripped down to her birthday suit as she celebrated her 34th birthday with a chilly jungle shower.
The reality star braved the cold water to kick off her birthday in the jungle during Monday’s episode.
Maura had her own iconic jungle shower moment when she stripped down to a tiny black triangle bikini, complete with floral accessories.

“It’s horrible, isn’t it?” GK said to Maura in support as she screamed from the cold temperatures.
The TikToker was later heard saying, “I can’t imagine a worse place to spend your birthday, bless her.” Maybe we’ll all get a piece of birthday cake for her 24th? It’s a milestone.’
“Happy birthday,” Jane says in the morning as she hugs Maura. ‘What a strange birthday to have.
Maura later reflected, “Birthday in the jungle! This will definitely be one I will never, ever forget.”
In the meantime, Tulisa decided to sleep in. That is, until the camp decided to wake her up to the sound of musical theater.
Dean said, “Now that she’s out of the Leaders’ Lodge, Tulisa has warned me that there should be no musical theater early in the morning, so I made it my mission to make sure the camp woke up this morning to the sound of lovely music. sing!’
After receiving updated assignments from new leaders Barry and Danny, the campmates began completing their chores for the day.

Maura later reflected, “Birthday in the jungle! This will definitely be one I will never forget.”
This meant that birthday girl Maura had to do the job of cleaning the dunny with Coleen. Not a usual birthday experience, but one she certainly wouldn’t forget.
Ahead of her arrival in the jungle, Maura admitted to MailOnline that she ‘didn’t think much about jumping in the jungle shower’, made famous by Myleene Klass’ white bikini moment in 2006.
She teased that it could be more chaos than sexy, joking: “I mean, I’d probably fall over and break my leg.” That’s probably what happened to me.
‘I packed my bikinis, but I didn’t really think about it. I’m a little concerned that the water is ice cold.
“I hate cold water, so I could be the girl who doesn’t shower all the time.”
