Maura Higgins has given fans a sneak peek inside her plush £1.25million Essex mansion – unveiling a dramatic living room transformation.
The Love Island favourite, 34, shared a before-and-after look with her 3.7million Instagram followers on Monday on her new home Instagram account.
Maura showed how the once sparse space, pictured with just two slouchy white beanbags and a boxed-up TV, has been completely transformed into a snug lounge.
Gone were the empty walls and floors and in their place, a plush white and cream sofa, a matching ottoman, soft rugs, candles and warm lighting.
The Irish beauty, who first shot to fame in 2019, has finally fulfilled her dream of upgrading from her modest one-bed flat to a five-bedroom home.
The upgrade comes after Maura’s meteoric rise to fame, from her breakout stint on Love Island to presenting Love Island USA, starring in I’m A Celebrity, and bagging her latest role in The Traitors US.
Speaking about her ambitions, Maura previously said she always knew she wasn’t destined to stay in rural County Longford, marry her teenage boyfriend and open a hair salon. ‘That wasn’t my dream, I wanted more,’ she once declared.

The Irish beauty, who first shot to fame in 2019, has finally fulfilled her dream of upgrading from her modest one-bed flat to a five-bedroom home
Earlier this year, she splashed her hard-earned £3.2million fortune on the luxury pad, which boasts an en-suite master bedroom, four further bedrooms, an expansive kitchen with an island, and black French doors leading to a landscaped garden.
Overjoyed, Maura shared to her Instagram followers a picture of her new kitchen with a chandelier and grey floors, which she bought in October, with the caption ‘Bought my dream house’.
Maura’s previous home was raided by three-masked men and so the Love Island star has ensured her new home was in a gated development which provides privacy and security.
After first sharing the news of her new home in October, Maura had barely gotten the keys to her new house when she entered the jungle in November for a four-week stint in Australia.
Maura entered the Love Island villa in 2019 and after almost six years in the spotlight with lucrative brand deals, she has amassed a fortune of an estimated £3.2million.
Maura recently shared how she escaped working in a hair salon in Ireland to become a ring girl for the brand Monster against the wishes of her then-boyfriend and dad.
The influencer said: ‘I wanted to do more and travel the world. I’m young, why not?’
Her time with Monster caught the eye of ITV recruiters for Love Island, who approached Maura multiple times before she finally accepted as revenge against her boyfriend, which has now landed her a multi-million-pound fortune.
The newly decorated space might look like something straight out of an interiors magazine, but Maura has revealed she is still keeping things real and has bought some of her home wear from high street stores H&M and Primark

Maura’s big home purchase came after she treated herself to a new £60,000 Porsche just before heading into the I’m A Celebrity jungle in November

Her big home purchase came after she treated herself to a new £60,000 Porsche just before heading into the I’m A Celebrity jungle in November.
Maura became the proud owner of a Porsche Macan, which typically ranges in price from £60,000 to £98,00.
Sharing a photo from inside her new car, she showed off its luxurious all-white leather interior.
Maura captioned the post: ‘My baby has arrived finally,’ along with a white heart emoji.
It comes after Maura displayed her toned physique in a summer minidress on the weekend as she shared a glimpse of her lavish lifestyle in an Instagram post.
The former Love Island star, 34, stunned as she enjoyed a picnic in the sun while wearing an ivory and pink milkmaids dress.
In a second image she looked happier than ever after pulling on a pair of thigh-skimming shorts and fedora hat for a bike ride

Another snap captures Maura enjoying a mint ice cream, while wearing a ruffled dress in a similar colour.
She also shared a glimpse of herself in more casual attire, including a bright pink T-shirt dress branded with the Love Island logo.
The brunette later posed for a fun snap with her pals as they made funny faces for a photo collage.
