Former Love Island star Maura Higgins has shared details of her mystery illness which has left her bed-bound for three days.
Appearing a far cry from her usual perky self, Maura, 31, jumped onto her Instagram story to provide insight into how she was feeling with fans.
The TV star wore a grey jumper as she lay down on her bed while telling fans that she “lost a stone” from her unknown sickness.
Opening up to her 3.4million followers, she explained: “This is the first time that I’ve been out of bed in I don’t know how long.
“And if you’re wondering what the noise is, it’s a fan, because the sweat that’s protruding out of my body, I can’t even explain.”

She added: “If I’ve not lost a stone from this illness, I’d be shocked.
“I don’t think I have ever been so unwell.”
Sharing an image of her bath with fans on her Instagram story, the star captioned the photo: “After three full days in bed, I finally have the energy to wash myself. (Disgusting I know).”
The star later tucked into a bowl of cereal, sharing the image, she penned: “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.”

The news comes after Maura was forced to defend herself against online trolls who made remarks on her physique and claimed she was “too skinny”.
Addressing the criticisms, the brunette bombshell shut down trolls who also made comments on the size of her breasts.
Speaking to The Sun, she exclaimed: “Why is it OK for people to turn around to your face and say ‘God, you’re too skinny?’ Would you ever say to somebody, ‘God, you’re too fat’? No, you wouldn’t.”

Talking about her views on cosmetic surgery, the Dancing On Ice star explained that she is open to having procedures but she is happy with the size of her boobs.
She continued: “I don’t need a boob job, because I feel sexy with the size of my boobs. I’m not going to get one to suit what some random person tells me.
“[Though] if it’s going to help somebody else feel more confident [to have surgery], then work away.”
