Former Love Island sensation Maura Higgins has openly shared the rigorous fitness regime behind her enviable figure while simultaneously confirming her use of Botox in a remarkably transparent Instagram Q&A session with followers.
From Grid Girl to Aspiring Actress
The 34-year-old reality star turned model and presenter has undergone a significant career transformation since her early days as a Formula 1 grid girl. Her career trajectory continues to ascend with her recent film debut in the 2025 Irish comedy The Spin, which has reportedly captured Hollywood's attention.
During her holiday in Marrakesh, where she posed in a festive red and white bikini, Higgins responded frankly to fan inquiries about maintaining her physique, marking a departure from her previous cosmetic procedure denials.
The Fitness Regime Behind the Figure
When questioned about her abdominal routine, the television personality didn't hold back: "I've honestly been working my (tiny) ass off in the gym the last few months!!" she exclaimed. "It's not been easy but this is the best I've felt in such a long time!!"
She detailed her preferred workout methods, revealing: "I do a lot of power yoga & pilates!" The intensive fitness commitment appears connected to future career plans, with Higgins hinting: "Next year is super super exciting for me so I want to be in the best shape of my life."
Setting the Record Straight on Cosmetic Procedures
In a notable shift from previous statements, Higgins openly acknowledged receiving Botox treatments from practitioner @drroshoffical. This confession comes five years after she explicitly told OK! magazine in 2020: "I probably will get Botox some day, but I'm afraid to right now. I don't want to change myself."
The admission emerged when a fan inquired: 'Will you ever talk about skin treatments you have? You are glowing! Xx.' Higgins responded honestly about her skincare journey, explaining she ceased facials after developing perioral dermatitis, now relying solely on skincare and "of course with the help of Botox from the best @drroshoffical."
This isn't the first time Higgins has faced speculation about cosmetic enhancements. In 2022, she addressed comparisons to Michael Jackson during an appearance on Shopping With Keith Lemon, joking about her "perfect nose" that "people would pay a lot of money to have."
Following her praised appearance on I'm A Celebrity last year, a cosmetic surgery expert suggested she might have had facial contouring on her cheeks and jawline. However, Higgins has consistently denied most procedures, attributing changes to orthodontic treatment: "I had braces on for a long time and since my teeth have moved, they've actually pushed my lips out slightly."
The media personality, who recently won admiration for showing fans her grey hairs after revealing she went grey at 18, continues to navigate public scrutiny while maintaining her candid approach with followers about both her fitness achievements and personal choices.
