Love Island star Maura Higgins is totally unrecognisable in pre-fame throwback video

Maura Higgins gave her fans a sizzling treat on Sunday by sharing a saucy throwback video.

The Love Island star, 29, posted a short clip to her Instagram grid where she appeared unrecognisable as she hid her long brunette locks under a bumble gum pink wig.

The former Monster energy drink promotional model pranced about in the sexy video which was filmed at American music festival Coachella before she found fame.

Maura was modelling a white crop top and tiny thong which accentuated her fantastic figure.

She added an extra touch to her barely-there ensemble by wearing a fringed belt decorated with leather strips around her middle.

Maura strutted towards the camera in the playful clip and seductively winked and stuck out her tongue.

Proving she was reminiscing about the fun festival, she captioned the post: "Coachella dreaming."

Maura recently split from her Love Island co-star Curtis Pritchard and has since admitted there were problems in their relationship from the minute she left the Love Island villa last year.

She confessed the weeks after leaving the Majorca paradise with her now-ex was the "worst time" in her life, saying exhaustion and public scrutiny ruined what should have been the most exciting time of their romance.

She was so overworked that she fell ill and could barely make the time to see her then-boyfriend - though she denied carrying on with the relationship as a 'fauxmance'.

"I will never forget coming out of that villa," Maura told the Sun on Sunday's Fabulous magazine.

"I think it was the worst time of my life. I was so busy, I didn't know where I was. I was living out of a hotel, I was so stressed-out I was getting ill. I was so exhausted. I was just working so much - I was getting nothing, no break. Then I got to a stage where my head was not OK. I was upset and feeling really low from exhaustion, and I needed to take some time."

She admitted she and Curtis barely saw each other, which at the time lead to rumours the pair were on the rocks as they rarely appeared in each other's social media snaps.

"At the beginning it was very, very hard because I was so besotted with him, and we never got to see each other," Maura went on.

"When we did, it was really nice because you got the time to miss somebody. But sometimes it would be two weeks. You know when you're in a relationship and you know someone's day to day? We were that busy that we didn't, and it was strange."

It was when she started her gruelling training for Dancing On Ice that the couple's relationship started failing under the pressure.

"He was coming to some of the shows and stuff, but we were still very, very busy and it just took a toll on the relationship in the end," she added.
