Maura Higgins sparks concern as she asks for help with painful health issue

Love Island star Maura Higgins asked her fans for their help as she admitted she was suffering severe pain and couldn't find the time to see a specialist
Maura Higgins sparked concerns with her fans after admitting she was struggling with a health condition.

The reality TV star took to Instagram to seek advice from her followers after admitting that her knee is "killing her" and that it felt like it was pulsing. Maura, 34, was seen posing for a selfie with no makeup on and clutching what appeared to be a matcha drink in her hand as he sought assistance from her fans.

The Love Island star wrote, "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. 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 update comes after Maura has had a busy week after moving into her £1.25million five-bedroom dream home in Essex. Maura has earned an estimated £3.2 million in the years since she found fame on the ITV dating show back in 2019.
And she has splashed the cash on a luxury new home - snapping up a five-bedroom property in the south east of England. The semi-detached house boasts an impressive garden and has huge, floor to ceiling windows that allow plenty of natural light to flood in.

But it seems Maura will need to splash a little more money - as it appears she has little to no furniture in her grand new home. Nonetheless, the TV star shared news that she has moved into the dream home this weekend.
On Sunday, the reality star took to Instagram Stories to share a couple of snaps from inside her new pad. She shared a photo from her kitchen looking out to her garden with a vase of flowers, candles, and a bottle of wine visible in the foreground.
She wrote alongside the image: "After the busiest few months.... she's finally in." She added a house emoji and a padlock and key emoji - showing she is now a proud home owner.

She shared a second snap showing professional hairdresser Carl Bembridge perched on the top of a kitchen surface and scrolling on his phone. Maura captioned this image, writing: "No chairs yet but he always finds something to sit on."
Maura's happy home photos come just a couple of months after she was caught kissing married pop star Danny Jones at an afterparty for the 2025 Brit Awards. The Love Island star and the McFly guitarist sparked controversy as their flirty behaviour was captured despite the fact he has been married to model Georgia Horsley since 2014.
Fans blasted Maura and Danny over the scandal and Danny eventually addressed the controversy, issuing a grovelling public apology online. He wrote: "Hello everyone, sorry it's taken me a while to post this but I've taken some time out to be with those closest to me.
"I want to deeply apologise to my wife and family for putting them in this situation. I love them so much and we'll continue to deal with this privately. I love you guys, thank you for your patience, understanding, and support. See you all soon, Danny." Meanwhile, Maura has remained silent on the matter.

Lottie Moss cuts an elegant figure in white beaded dress as she leads the stars at the Materialists gala screening

Lottie Moss cut an elegant figure as she led the stars attending the UK gala screening of Materialists at the Picturehouse Central in London on Tuesday night. The socialite and half-sister, 27, kept it simple in a figure hugging white dress adorned with silver beads. Showing off her array of tattoos down her arms, the star styled her blonde locks in voluminous curls and accessorised with dangly silver earrings. She was joined at the screening by designer Kimberley Garner, TV personality Michelle Heaton and Made In Chelsea stars Yasmine Zweeger, Tabitha Willett and Miles Nazaire. Kimberley, 34, flashed her toned abs in a satin cream strapless bra top and matching long skirt. Meanwhile Michelle, 46, put on a very busty display in a cream mini dress with mesh lace detailing across her chest and shoulders. Romantic comedy Materialists stars Dakota Johnson as a matchmaker in the enviable position of having to choose between leading men Chris Evans and Pedro Pascal. The film, written and directed by Celine Song, received a warm 87-percent rating from the critics at Rotten Tomatoes and audiences responded with a heartfelt $12 million at the box office. Lottie's red carpet look comes after she recently opened up about having her filler dissolved, admitting that she is now opting for a more natural look. The star also had a tattoo removed from her face as part of the transformation that was revealed in an exclusive video to the Daily Mail. Lottie told Dr Rosh, who is regarded as the world's number one aesthetics doctor: 'You fixed me.' She said: 'I've got a bruise on my lip because I'm dissolving all of my filler, but I just feel like myself again. Like, my face looks like me again.' Last month Lottie detailed her nightmare flight after she landed in London Stansted and took to her Instagram to update her followers about the mishap that happened on her way back from St. Tropez in the south of France. Supermodel Lottie tagged British Airways in her Story, where she appeared to be complaining about the airline. She explained how she was feeling worse for wear after going out five nights in a row and was still stressed as her luggage had yet to arrive on time. Wearing oversized sunglasses in her video, Lottie began: 'I cannot explain to you - please ignore my voice, I've been literally out every night for the past five nights in St Tropez - but, I've had the worst experience with British Airways today, I cannot even tell you. 'My journey starts at 8am and it's literally not even finished yet because the bags haven't arrived. The plane was four hours late.' Lottie went on to share how when the flight landed, passengers had to wait for a further 25 minutes before they were allowed off the flight. She continued: 'We landed, sat on the tarmac here for like, 25 minutes, and the bags still aren't here. It doesn't say awaiting baggage, it doesn't say baggage completed.' Visibly agitated, she added: 'I'm gonna lose my f**king mind.'

Secret rift tearing Katie Price and daughter Princess apart as distraught mum says ‘I feel like Brooklyn Beckham'

AS 18-year-old Princess Andre gears up for a debut TV series, the similarities between her and mum Katie Price are stark. Pneumatic model Katie also got her big break aged 18, with big-money deals, frenzied press speculation and reality television shows to follow. 8 8 Which makes the secret rift between mother and daughter, which we can lay bare for the first time today, all the more heartbreaking. While Katie, 47, adores her eldest daughter — who she had with first husband Peter Andre — she has been left devastated after the teenager was told to 'distance herself' from her 'low-rent' relative. Telly bosses deliberately cut the former glamour model out of forthcoming ITV2 show, The Princess Diaries, because it is 'not good for Princess to be seen with Katie '. In a bid to market the youngster as a pretty, middle-class influencer, they even turned down Katie's team's offer to film for free for three days. 'A BIT MOLLY-CODDLED' The snub, says a friend, has crushed the mum of five, with parallels, they say, to the ongoing Beckham family feud. Says one: 'Katie feels isolated and disregarded. She loves Princess so much and is supremely proud of the young woman she is becoming. But with all her expertise in the field, Kate obviously hoped to help steer her career — oversee contracts, advise her on press, that sort of thing. 'She has seen and done it all, and hoped to instil some wisdom and advice on how to handle fame. 'But ITV2 execs have made it clear they want nothing to do with her. Princess has been advised to distance herself from her outspoken mum, and is perhaps too young and shy to defy orders. 'Katie has been made to feel like a pariah when it comes to Princess's professional life. 'It's almost as though her working class roots and salt-of-the-earth attitude — one that has seen her make millions and remain a household name 25 years on — aren't good enough. Trailer for the upcoming series of The Princess Diaries starring Princess Andre 'Princess told her mum that she needed to distance herself publicly and yet chats to her all the time behind closed doors. 'She will always love her mum but there is just a personal/professional divide right now, which is tough for Kate. 'Kate is really embarrassed. She even offered to give up her own time to film for the new show but got an email back saying her services weren't required. Kate is really embarrassed. She feels a bit like Brooklyn Beckham, with no one in the Andre family really speaking to her. 'She feels a bit like Brooklyn Beckham, with no one in the Andre family really speaking to her. 'Even Kate's mum, Amy, who cherishes Princess, has been dragged into it all. She is so heartbroken about what is going on.' The Prices were banned from attending Princess's 18th birthday party in June due to filming. Katie, meanwhile, got a bucket-load of online stick after accidentally sharing a happy birthday Instagram message 36 hours before the big day. 8 8 The new ITV2 series, which will feature Princess's older brother Junior and her dad Peter, begins on Sunday. It also stars Pete's second wife Emily, a doctor with whom he appears blissfully happy. For the past few months, cameras have followed Princess around as she launches her influencing career, having already signed money- spinning deals with brands including Morphe and Superdrug. 'INCREDIBLY ALIENATED' She has more than 1.5million followers on social media and a dedicated legion of young fans. In the fly-on-the-wall series, the teenager addresses the traumatic memories of her parents' divorce, admitting she grew up in her household knowing her parents 'didn't like each other'. After bosses turned down Katie's offer to appear in the show for free, they instead asked for historic YouTube archive material to use. Furious Kate's team staunchly refused. Another concern of the Price family is that Princess is being handed fame too easily. 8 8 The friend adds: 'Katie had to graft for her celebrity, going to castings on foot and by bus, and hustling for every bit of success. In contrast, Princess is maybe being a bit molly-coddled. 'She has chauffeur-driven cars taking her to and from events, and a management team doing all the commercial deals and paperwork for her. 'Technically, Princess, who is an absolutely lovely girl and remarkably grounded given her privilege and famous parentage, is a nepo-baby. 'There would be no TV series without Katie, so Kate feels it's imperative she doesn't take fame for granted. 'In short, she would love to be there for her daughter and be allowed more of a say in her career. CHILDHOOD TRAUMA 'Personally they remain a constant in one another's lives, but professionally Kate feels incredibly alienated.' Princess is managed by her Aussie dad's management company, who previously represented Katie when the couple were together. However, when the Mysterious Girl singer and Katie, who met when they were both contestants on 2004's I'm A Celebrity, divorced in 2009 after four years of marriage, their management went with Team Andre. The couple famously had their own hit ITV2 reality show Katie & Peter from 2004. The second and final series gave a telling insight into their problems, with the couple bickering badly during filming. They split up acrimoniously not long after. Relations between Peter and his loyal managers on one side and Katie on the other have been fractious for years. Although the former couple are now on civil terms, WhatsApping about their two children, it is fair to suggest there is little love lost. It is a topic that gets explored on the new show, and Princess has been doing a round of PR interviews to promote the series. 8 She has admitted to having therapy to help with some of her childhood trauma. In one interview she said: 'I do wish I could have had a happier childhood. 'In the sense of, like, I had so many things on my plate at a young age.' While acknowledging the 'good times' in her childhood, she opened up about her mum's bitter split from third husband Kieran Hayler when she was ten. She does, though, also speak of her love for both parents. Katie is currently dating Married At First star JJ Slater, a man who gets on well with all the family. Although publicly Princess and Katie are not allowed to be photographed together, privately, I'm told, they speak 'pretty much' every day. Certainly, the last time I visited Kate at home in East Sussex, Princess was there alongside big brother Junior and his girlfriend, as well as the duo's older half-brother, Harvey. With three dogs, five bald Sphynx cats, including a pregnant one, a baby (Kate's niece Olive), two cameramen, Harvey, Kate's podcast partner, a cleaner, Junior and Princess and one of their mates, a photographer, and JJ, it was absolute chaos. But happy chaos. I chatted to Princess over chicken Caesar baguettes and golden syrup cookies and she was an utter delight — charming, polite and endearingly shy. We discussed fame and the pressures within it, and she seemed excited yet level-headed about whatever is to follow. She and her mum cracked jokes and chatted freely. Their bond was clear to see. Princess is a credit to both her parents. If only, then, she was able to be as proud of her mum as her mum is of her. The Princess Diaries begins on Sunday at 9pm on ITV2.
