Maura Higgins says she's compared to Michael Jackson because of 'perfect' nose and filler

Maura Higgins says she gets compared to Michael Jackson because of her "perfect" nose.

The Love Island star, 31, was speaking about being trolled on Shopping With Keith Lemon, when she revealed the comparison.

Standing in a supermarket with the flame-haired presenter, she said: "I get trolled. The main thing I get is that I look like Michael Jackson."

An incredulous Keith replied: "Well you're the fittest Michael Jackson I've ever seen" to which Maura said: "I think it's because people think I've had a nose job.

"I will admit my nose is very perfect," she mused. "People would pay a lot of money to have my nose."

The former ring girl then revealed she also gets trolled for being fat.

"Where are you fat? Keith guffawed? "On your ears?"

Speaking about the pressure to look good, Maura said she used to get lip filler "all the time" before going on Love Island.

However, she said she hasn't had any since she left the villa.

"I think you can end up looking older if you get too much," she suggested before telling Keith he'd be surprised how many men had dabbled with Botox.

Maura made headlines earlier this week when she was papped snogging Joey Essex at the Pride of Britain Awards.

The pair looked very cosy as they jumped in a cab together after the bash, but Maura has since said their embrace was 'just the way she greets people'.

The Irish Islander shared her friend’s clip to her Instagram Story on Tuesday where the brunette bombshell could be seen licking her pal’s face.

“She’s a licker,” her makeup artist friend Krystal Dawn wrote on the video - seeming to allude to the smooch Maura shared with Joey the night before.

Maura replied "It's how I greet people".

However she and Joey are reportedly planning their first date after they were photographed snogging on Monday night.

The reality stars are said to have since swapped numbers after "flirting like crazy" at the awards do.

And now they are said to be excitedly planning their first date together.

A source said: "Maura’s really keen for a date with Joey and they’ve been messaging nonstop since."

* Shopping with Keith Lemon concludes tonight on ITV2 at 10pm.
