Maura Higgins looks so different as she poses without make-up or fake tan

Maura Higgins has outed herself as a natural beauty by posing without a hint of make-up or fake tan on Instagram .

The typically glamorous star embraced her natural looks as she headed home to her native Ireland for the Christmas holidays.

Giving fans a glimpse of how she looks without all the slap, Maura shared a selfie with her followers as she tried to recreate an old childhood photo.

As she showed off baby Maura, the Love Island beauty flipped the camera back on herself as she tried to impersonate her younger ways.

But with her hair-scraped back, cute smile and glowing skin shining through, 29-year-old Maura was looking as youthful as ever.

The now Ann Summers model has been making the most of some down time at home before the Dancing On Ice competition kicks off in January.

As her social media feed can account for, the reality star has been having a blast with her family and friends in Ireland over the festive season.

As well as taking a break from work, Maura has also been spending some time away from boyfriend Curtis Pritchard.

The two made their relationship official back in October, after first meeting on Love Island over the summer.

But despite being one of a few couples still standing, Maura and Curtis have thrown their union into doubt in recent weeks after they've rarely been seen together.

Currently, Curtis is appearing in panto while Maura is training for the ITV skating show.

Appearing on Lorraine with brother AJ, Curtis admitted he and Maura were having some distance.

He told host Lorraine Kelly: "We are quite busy. It means we haven't had time to spend with everyone."

The dancer added: "We're lucky these days, we have mobile phones - you can contact people so easily. But it is a shame."

Aside from Love Island 2019 runners up Molly Mae Hague and Tommy Pritchard, Curtis and Maura are the only couple from the series still together.
