Maura Higgins has revealed she is currently undergoing tests with her doctor after she was struck down by a mystery illness a few weeks ago.
The former Love Island star revealed she felt like she had lost a stone in weight after being bedbound and unable to eat for days due to a nasty illness.
The Longford native said she has been “living off cereal” all week after being floored by the sickness.
Maura told her followers she is now undergoing tests with doctors to find out what is wrong – but told fans she is doing ok.

Speaking after sharing a series of behind the scenes pics from her new Ann Summers lingerie campaign, she thanked fans for their “lovely DMs”.
She said: “Just going through all of your lovely DMs… I really do have the most amazing supportive followers and I probably don’t say it enough but thank you from the bottom of my heart for always being so kind.
“Also a lot of you asking why I was back at the doctors today… I am currently getting tests done to find out what the problem is but I am ok.”, adding a smiley face emoiji.
Several weeks ago, Maura shared with her followers she was bedridden for days after picking up the mystery bug a day after she attended various shows at London Fashion week.
The Ballymahon born star attended the Oh Polly show on Saturday.
“I don’t think I have ever been so unwell,” she said.
Posting a picture of a bubble bath, the 31-year-old added: “After three full days in bed, I finally have the energy to wash myself. (Disgusting I know).”
Posting a picture of a bowl of Coco Pops cereal in bed, she asked: “For those of you who live on your own, what do you eat when you are too ill to cook?
“I’ve been living off cereal.”
She went on to post a video speaking to the camera and said: “This is the first time for me to be out of bed in I don’t know how long.
“And if you are wondering what that noise is, it is a fan, because the sweat that is protruding out through my body I can’t even explain.
“If I have not lost a stone from this illness, I’ll be shocked,” she added.
