Sharing a make-up free selfie from her car while clutching a green juice, the reality favourite penned: 'Don't have the time right now to see a specialist, but if anyone has any recommendations for something I can buy to stop my knee from KILLING please DM me.'
Maura continued: 'It feels like there's a pulse inside of it & it's also on fire.
'The running around with the house move has not helped it. (yes my greys are out too, no time for that either.'
The injured star is currently slap bang in the middle of a house move.
It was back in January when Maura first announced the news, and wrote: 'Bought my dream home,' and posted a photo of the incredible open kitchen which boasts a marble island in the middle.
The sleek space has a gorgeous chandelier and grey floors and leads to an outdoor area.
She's since been sharing glimpses of the house on social media, including elegant items she's purchased to kit it out.
I'm A Celeb star Maura told fans she'd also splashed cash on a Porsche this year, after her previous car 'went up in flames.'
And earlier this month, Maura made a shock return to Love Island USA after she was 'replaced' during the series.
Earlier on in the series, Love Island UK stunner Maura was the host of Love Island USA: Aftersun.
But fans were baffled when Maura vanished and was subsequently replaced by Sophie Monk who hosts the Australian version of the show.
It was reported that Maura would not be returning for this season of Aftersun as she filmed The Traitors USA.
Maura has now returned, with her return teased on social media on Saturday.
On the Love Island USA Instagram page, a video of Maura making a comeback was shared.
The Irish stunner looked amazing as she strutted her stuff into the villa.
She could be seen wearing a silver-colored co-ord comprising of a mesh skirt and bra top.
Fans went wild in the comments section, with many fans overjoyed about Maura's return.
"The best host of all time," said one person.
"Our girl is coming back sir the finale. Babe we needed you the whole season," penned a second.
"Yay glad she is back. She would also make a great host I think," added a third.
A fourth then wrote: "Maura is back to try to save the show but it's too late."

Pete Davidson reveals his biggest tattoo regret after cringe Kim Kardashian lawyer inking
Pete Davidson regrets getting numerous tattoos, as evidenced by the many painful laser tattoo removal sessions he has undergone in recent months. But there's one bit of ink that particularly makes the 31-year-old comedian grimace when he looks back on it. In his July 28 appearance on Hot Ones — the interview show in which guests eat increasingly spicy chicken wings while host Sean Evans quizzes them on their careers — Davidson admitted that a sizable tattoo on his chest that was inspired by a run-in with Dave Chappelle is his biggest source of tattoo-related regret. The ink joined other embarrassing tattoos, including multiple tats inspired by his short-lived romance with Kim Kardashian. 'I've never admitted this because it's so humiliating,' Davidson began. 'But when I was like 20 at a comedy club — it might have been the Knitting Factory when Hannibal Buress used to run it — I did a set. I was like 19 or 20.' Pete — who recently broke his silence about his impending fatherhood — hadn't yet made his Saturday Night Live debut at the time, recalled how his set featured a celebrity guest in the audience: Chappelle. The comedian was in his wilderness period at the time, after he stepped back from his Comedy Central series Chappelle's Show in 2005 due to dissatisfaction over the direction of its delayed third season. According to Pete, his comedy set was likely in 2012 or 2013, and it wasn't until 2014 that Chappelle started making high-profile guest appearances in the lead up to his return to doing major comedy tours and releasing high-profile stand-up specials. 'So seeing him was crazy,' Davidson said. 'He was like, "I watched your whole set. It was really good."' The future SNL star couldn't pass up the opportunity to pick a veteran comedian's brain. 'How do you keep coming up with new stuff? I'm working on new stuff. It's difficult,' he recalled asking Chappelle. Davidson said the Half Baked star replied, 'Jokes come and go, but swag is forever.' Something about the pedestrian statements spoke to Davidson at that moment, and he was inspired enough to add it to his burgeoning tattoo collection. The rising star got the quotation inked high up on his chest, just above one of his nipples, but he didn't bother to include anything indicating that the phrase was said by Chappelle. Davidson explained that friends and fans who saw him shirtless assumed that he had come up with the expression. 'You know, I could have just told people he said that to me,' he admitted. 'I didn't put "dash Chappelle."' His solution, rather than to add credit to the ink, was to simply 'black it out' with an enormous 'Jaws' tattoo featuring a shark inspired by the Great White in Steven Spielberg's 1975 blockbuster. 'I just put a giant shark over it,' he admitted. Although Davidson appears to have felt awkward about seeming to take credit for Chappelle said at the time, the tattoo might have created other problems for him in subsequent years after Chappelle developed a reputation for devoting large portions of his latter-day stand-up shows to jokes that some fans consider to be transphobic. But Davidson's fans will be seeing much less of his Jaws tattoo and the embarrassing ink that it covered, as the comic is now engaged in a lengthy, costly and painful campaign to erase his infamous ink. In October of last year, Pete revealed the extent of the removal sessions so far when he flashed his bare arms, revealing that the ink was significantly faded. In January, People reported that he had already spent at least $200,000 on the procedure. Then, in February, Davidson admitted on Late Night with Seth Meyers that he hopes to have all of his tattoos erased by the time he's 40, which is a doable timeline, as it could take about a decade to remove all of his ink. In April, he delved into why he covered his body with tattoos and why he now wants to clear the slate in an interview with Variety. 'I used to be a drug addict and I was a sad person, and I felt ugly and that I needed to be covered up,' Davidson admitted. 'So I'm just removing them and starting fresh, because that's what I think works best for me and for my brain. 'When I look in the mirror, I don't want the reminder of "Oh yeah, you were a f***ing drug addict. Like, that's why you have SpongeBob smoking a joint on your back,"' he joked at the time. Davidson described the tattoo removal process as 'horrible' in the profile. 'It's like putting your arm on a grill and burning off a layer,' he explained. 'It sucks, I'm not gonna lie.' Davidson first shared his plans to remove at least some of his tattoos in 2021. At the time, he told Seth Meyers that it was a practical decision, as he wastes multiple hours getting the ink covered with makeup when he's shooting films and TV shows. 'You have to get there three hours earlier to cover all your tattoos, because for some reason, people in movies, they don't have them that much,' he said. He later added more cringey tattoos, including several related to his former girlfriend Kim Kardashian. Among the most embarrassing was the text, 'My girlfriend is a lawyer,' which he had linked above his clavicle. He also had her name inked on his chest and got a tattoo of Disney's Aladdin with Jasmine, a reference to the SNL sketch they starred in together when he was the guest host, which helped spark their romance. Pete will now get a fresh start as he prepares to welcome his first child with his girlfriend, the English-born model and actress Elsie Hewitt. She shared their baby news earlier this month with an Instagram post featuring Davidson lovingly caressing her midriff and a sonogram image showing the fetus.

Stephen Colbert on Trump's Scotland trip: ‘A grift for the whole family'
Late-night hosts recap Donald Trump using his taxpayer-funded time to open up a golf course in Scotland and an effort to rename the Kennedy Center after him. 'Folks, I read once that if you're a passenger in an auto accident, it helps if you're just a little drunk,' said Stephen Colbert on Tuesday evening. 'Because – and the science backs this up – a drunk passenger is a little loose. And if you're a little loose, you're less likely to get severely injured than if you tense up right before impact.' 'Which brings me to our president,' the Late Show host continued. 'I think at this point, it would help if we were all just a little drunk. Because maybe then it wouldn't be so painful when he drives the world into a telephone pole. 'We all know that he's crazy,' he added, 'but some of the crazy stuff is just to distract us from the crazier stuff. And maybe we should stop trying to stop every crazy, because stopping some of crazy makes the crazy stuff seem less crazy than he could possibly craze. And let's face it – if you think we're going to stop all the crazy, you cray-cray.' The latest 'case of cuckoo' came courtesy of a Republican lawmaker who introduced a bill to rename the John F Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts to the Donald J Trump Center for the Performing Arts. The bill's sponsor claimed that 'Trump is a patron of the arts and a staple of the pop-culture landscape'. 'I'm sorry, but it's true: Trump is a staple of pop culture. Just last week, he was great on South Park,' Colbert quipped, referring to the Comedy Central animated program whose latest season premiere showed a naked Trump in bed with Satan. The center was originally named for Kennedy just months after his assassination, as a living memorial for the slain president. 'You know what they say about those who forget the past: they name stuff after Donald Trump,' Colbert joked. In other presidential news, Trump spent the past few days in Scotland, 'to negotiate trade golf over his golf tariffs on European golf, because he went there to play golf,' Colbert explained. 'He spent your tax dollars to open his new course in Aberdeen', designed by his middle son, Eric – an occasion, as Colbert put it, that celebrated 'a grift for the whole family'. On Late Night, Seth Meyers recapped a recent JD Vance event in Ohio, where the vice-president was asked about the Jeffrey Epstein files still dogging Trump. Vance said Trump has been 'incredibly transparent about that stuff'. 'And I agree – we can absolutely see right through him,' said Meyers. On Monday, Trump said that the baseline tariff rate for the world would be between 15 and 20%, and added: 'You can't sit down and make 200 deals.' 'I mean, come on, where would he find the time?' Meyers joked. In a post over the weekend on Truth Social, Trump suggested that NBC – Late Night's network – should lose its broadcasting license. 'Oh, come on, the show wasn't that bad,' said Meyers next to an old still from Trump's NBC reality program The Apprentice. And during a media appearance over the weekend, Trump was asked whether he rushed to finish a trade deal with the European Union to 'knock the Jeffrey Epstein story out'. 'Oh yeah, I'm sure all the conspiracy theorists in Maga will stop talking about Epstein now that there's a new trade deal,' Meyers joked. ''So you think Trump was on the list or what?' 'Who cares! We can get cheaper sardines from Portugal!'' It's starting to seem like being president of the United States is Trump's side hustle 'Trump is in Scotland right now, seeing as his favorite island destination has been shut down,' said Daily Show guest host Desi Lydic next to a photo of Trump with Epstein. 'When a president is overseas, it's important for them to project strength and dignity, although an uninvited insect made that a little harder for President Trump,' Lydic said before a clip of Trump freaking out about an apparent bug in his shirt. 'Feels like Trump's accidental dance moves are way more impressive than his intentional ones.' 'I do understand why he was so frantic: that mosquito was also asking Trump about Jeffrey Epstein,' Lydic quipped. 'Now, Trump was not just wasting time playing golf,' she continued. 'He was also wasting time profiting off golf,' as he opened his latest golf course in Aberdeen. Lydic was not impressed. 'Just a reminder, this man is still the president of the United States,' she said. 'There's a lot going on in the world, and he's at a ribbon-cutting ceremony to promote his golf course? Is this his side hustle, or is America his side hustle?' 'We're just used to this now,' she added, 'but imagine if when Obama was still in office, he kept flying on Air Force One to open up Pizza Hut/Taco Bell franchises.'
