EXCLUSIVE The secret behind Maura Higgins' BAFTA glow: Love Island star reveals how she got her radiant complexion amid her first red carpet appearance since Danny Jones kiss scandal

Daily Mail​13-05-2025

Maura Higgins has revealed the secret behind her radiant BAFTA glow following her attendance at the awards ceremony on Sunday.
The Love Island star, 34, made her first red carpet appearance since her 'drunken' kiss scandal with McFly 's Danny Jones earlier this year.
And while she dazzled in a billowing pale blue ballgown, Maura also showed off her bright and luminous visage as she posed up a storm for the cameras.
Though a natural beauty, Maura had a little help in achieving her glow and enlisted the help of Dr Rosh (also known as Dr Roshan Ravindran), who is considered the world's number one aesthetics doctor.
Ahead of walking the red carpet, the stunner paid a visit to Dr Rosh, who ensured she looked her best for her big day.
Maura took to Instagram on Monday to publicly thank the cosmetic doctor - who has treated celebrities for botox and fillers - for 'making my skin glow'.
She also branded him 'the best', with Dr Rosh also re-sharing her post on his own Instagram.
Dr Rosh is the go-to aesthetic expert for numerous celebrities, including Molly-Mae Hague, who recently joked about 'getting old ' as she visited his clinic for Botox treatments.
While Lottie Moss recently credited him for 'fixing her face' after having her facial fillers dissolved.
It comes as Maura was pictured sitting alone during the ceremony and reportedly didn't stay long and made a sneaky backdoor exit.
In a photograph exclusively obtained by MailOnline, Maura could be seen sitting by herself on her phone in her stunning ball gown at the event.
Meanwhile, in pictures published on The Sun, the star later risked the wrath of BAFTA as she left an hour into the ceremony as she snuck into a taxi.
A source told the publication: 'Maura wanted her red carpet return to be a big moment. She thinks enough time has passed — she can't hide forever.'
Explaining how her huge dress meant she was uncomfortable in the cramped hall they continued: 'She was talking about her dress taking up too much space and was absolutely boiling.
'So she snuck out with pal Luke Hamnett while a nominations reel was shown. It'll be frowned upon in TV circles as the Baftas is an incredibly prestigious event and leaving is a big no-no.'
MailOnline have contacted Maura's representatives for comment.
Maura and the married McFly singer, 39, hit headlines in March when they were spotted in a compromising clinch at the Universal Music's BRIT Awards afterparty.
Danny is said to no longer have a 'normal relationship' with his wife Georgia, 38, and while they are still living under the same roof, they now have 'separate lives'.
Both Danny and Maura have generally kept away from public events since the scandal but she made sure to make her big return at the BAFTAs, but did not answer any questions about the kiss.
She did not face an awkward reunion with Danny as reportedly skipped the ceremony to avoid 'putting a foot wrong' with his wife.
Danny issued a public apology to his wife and their seven-year-old son Cooper, admitting he was 'deeply sorry' and vowing to deal with things privately.
Sources previously claimed to MailOnline that despite their efforts, Danny and Georgia are like 'passing ships' and friends fear their relationship is hanging on by a thread.

A source said: 'Danny and Georgia have been trying to navigate a very difficult time in their marriage and for the best part they have been taking each day as it comes.
'They may be living under the same roof, but they barely see each other and right now are like passing ships.
'Danny is preparing for his summer gigs with McFly, and Georgia has been attending influencer events and collaborating with brands, all while looking after son, Cooper, who regularly features on her Instagram profile.
'But when they're not working, Danny is out on his motorbike or exercising in the gym, and Georgia is either on her own or spending time with family and girlfriends.
'They haven't actually been publicly seen together for six weeks and behind the scenes, their relationship is anything but normal.'
But now the singer is also making his TV return and will join the second series of You Bet!, ITV's rebooted challenge show, hosted by Stephen Mulhern.
Danny will appear alongside former I'm A Celeb campmate Oti Mabuse and Olympian Greg Rutherford, and has already filmed some segments at London's Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.
In behind-the-scenes clips shared on his Instagram at the weekend, Danny looked upbeat as he returned to work, grinning alongside his co-stars and cheering on contestants tackling extreme rides.

Newlywed Dani Dyer reflects on THAT postcard meltdown which broke the then-record for highest number of complaints in Love Island history

Love Island series 12 is just around the corner, but on Sunday night, ITV2 pulled out all the stops with an anniversary special, celebrating 10 years of the show. Love Island: A Decade of Love featured chats and iconic moments from past winners and contestants, including newlywed, Dani Dyer. The reality star, 28, famously appeared on the show back in 2018 and went on to win with then-partner Jack Fincham, 32. But despite taking home the huge prize money, one of the moments Dani is most remembered for, is her reaction during season four's Casa Amor twist. The girls were given a video postcard showing what their partners were getting up to in the other villa, with Dani left inconsolable after she was shown a clip of Jack coming face to face with his ex-girlfriend Ellie Jones, implying there was something unsavoury afoot. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. As she watched the footage back, she was joined on the sofa by former contestant Samira Mighty, and reflected on her outburst saying: 'I went from zero to a thousand really quickly didn't I? 'I really really thought... I think it's cos his reaction was so like [gasps]'. Samira agreed saying the whole situation was 'crazy' before giving her friend a reassuring squeeze on the shoulder. Despite the drama and upset, Jack had actually barely spoken to Ellie, remaining loyal to Dani throughout. However the way the clips were shown 2,525 viewers complained, with the then Love Island host, the late Caroline Flack justifying the producers' actions by saying the point of the show is to 'test relationships.' Although Ofcom didn't investigate they confirmed that it broke records at the time for the highest number of complaints about a single issue in Love Island history. Earlier this year, appearing on Jessie Ware's podcast, Table Manners, Dani's dad, actor Danny Dyer admitted he was enraged by the scenes. He said: 'They did a really mean thing on it as well, where they sort of made it look like he was cheating on her. I was fuming. I was like I want numbers, I want f**** numbers. The clip broke records at the time for the highest number of complaints about a single issue in Love Island history and despite the drama, Dani and Jack went on to win the show, but ended up going their separate ways nine months later 'They pretended he was sleeping outside on a bed, and she was crying her eyes out, and I knew this was gonna happen to me. How could you do it to this poor child?' 'So, yeah, really hard to watch, but she came out. She really just went with it. She got a clothing range. She's such a beautiful kid. I'm so proud. I'm proud of all my babies.' Elsewhere in Love Island: A Decade of Love, Dani revealed that her new husband Jarrod Bowen's mother, voted for her and her ex Jack to win Love Island back when they were on it in 2018. After tying the knot with footballer Jarrod on Saturday, Dani confessed that her in-laws were among the thousands of fans who voted for her to take the crown. The mum-of-three was among a slew of past Islanders watching back clips of their time on the show. Sitting with pal Samira, Dani revealed that her now mother-in-law had watched her series and been a fan even back then. She told a shocked Samira: 'You know Jarrod's mum voted for us to win? So my mother-in-law voted for me and Jack to win Love Island.' It comes after Dani shared the heartwarming moment she danced with her dad at her recent lavish wedding. The emotional father-of-the-bride moment saw proud Danny slow dance with his eldest daughter, after walking her down the aisle. In a behind-the-scenes wedding reel shared to Instagram, Danny looked like he could burst with pride as he embraced daughter Dani on the dance floor. The 50 guests watched on as the father and daughter duo slow-danced under a dazzling chandelier. Calling it 'the best day of my entire life,' Dani told fans it was a memory she'd cherish always, adding: 'A day that I will want to re-live forever.'

Former PM Liz Truss helps notorious bare-knuckle fighter launch his new whiskey in bizarre promo video - just months after he was freed from jail

Liz Truss joined a notorious bare-knuckle fighter as he launched his new whiskey brand in a bizarre promotional video. The former Prime Minister looked in great spirits as she waved a bottle of Dougie Joyce's booze towards the camera just months after he was freed from jail. After Joyce points to the lens and says, 'just remember Dougie Joyce loves ya', Ms Truss, who led the nation for 49 days in 2022, repeats his catchphrase, saying: 'Liz Truss loves you.' The ex Conservative leader offers an awkward laugh as the traveller boxer, who attacked a 78-year-old man in a bar in 2022, adds: 'Just remember that, people, we love you all.' Ms Truss, 49, could also be seen sitting down next to Joyce for a few drinks during the launch event, which took place at Scunthorpe United's stadium last month according to a post on the fighter's Instagram. A source told The Sun that the former PM had not been paid to attend the party. 'Liz Truss either doesn't understand the implications or doesn't care,' one source said. 'Either way this is a serious lapse. 'She's a former Prime Minister and has to be extremely careful who she associates herself with. 'You have to wonder if anyone did the due diligence.' Joyce, 36, said on Instagram: 'It was a great honour to have former Prime Minister as a special guest. 'Having her there truly meant a lot and added a distinguished touch to the occasion.' MailOnline has approached representatives of Ms Truss for comment. Joyce claims to have turned over a new leaf, insisting he is devoting himself to charity work, after being released from prison. The father-of-three, who once boasted he was 'the next Tyson Fury', was jailed for the second time in quick succession in May 2024 after finding himself involved in a violent brawl with a rival family at a wake. He and his brother Tom, then 27, were handed the sentences for violent disorder by Manchester Crown Court after a shocking incident unfolded in the Vine pub in Collyhurst, Manchester. Chaos erupted in the pub for about half-an-hour as members of the Joyce and Doherty family clashed in the latest episode of a long-running feud. The two families had attended the establishment as part of a wake following the death of two young men who were part of the traveller community on October 2, 2020. Two members of the Doherty family were taken to hospital with 'significant injuries', one of whom Tom had struck on the head with a smashed beer bottle. Prosecutors explained how trouble began at about 5pm, as footage from the pub showed signs of conflict and verbal rows before it turned violent about 20 minutes later, with two groups of about 10 young men forming distinct groups. At one point Tom grabbed a bottle of beer inside the pub and smashed it, before wielding it and striking a member of the Doherty family to the face with it in the pub car park, the court heard. The victim could be seen 'covered in copious amounts of blood', before Tom was then assaulted by others. Dougie also smashed a bottle in the build up, but did not use it and dropped it. Instead, he armed himself with a plastic pipe and threw it at another man, prosecutor Constance Halliwell said. The injured men were bundled into a car and taken to the Manchester Royal Infirmary. They refused to provide statements to police and were interviewed the following year, providing no comment to questions. Dougie was handed a 13-month jail term, while Tom was sentenced to 22 months in prison. The boxer, who turned down a role on reality TV show My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding, was already serving a 19-month sentence for causing grievous bodily harm after launching a sickening attack on a 78-year-old man in a pub. A shocking video of the attack showed the traveller and businessman knock the recently widowed elderly man off his chair with three savage blows, before flooring him again after he got to his feet. The injuries to the man's face were exacerbated by the large golden pyramid ring he was wearing. During his time behind bars, the thug smuggled in a phone to film himself chuckling in his cell. Ms Truss's name came up in a somewhat negative context on Thursday as Keir Starmer compared Reform leader Nigel Farage's economic plans to her infamous 2022 mini-Budget. Mr Farage has sought to woo working class Labour voters by leaning left with support for scrapping the two-child benefit cap and fully reinstating winter fuel payments. But he simultaneously backs a series of tax cuts, which left experts at the Institute for Fiscal Studies saying there could be an £85billion hole in the maths. Sir Keir further questioned his ability, pointing out that Mr Farage, the Clacton MP, is currently in Las Vegas to speak at a conference promoting bitcoin. Speaking in Warrington Sir Keir said: 'Can you trust him? Can you trust him with your future? Can you trust him with your jobs? Can you trust him with your mortgages, your pensions, your bills? 'And he gave the answer on Tuesday. A resounding no.' He added: 'Apparently (Mr Farage) is in Las Vegas today at a casino, and it's not a surprise, because he said that the Liz Truss budget in his view was the best since 1986. That shows his judgment.' Over the weekend, Ms Truss appeared alongside Hungarian PM Viktor Orban at a press conference.
