Maura Higgins tells of her two biggest turn offs when it comes to men

Maura Higgins has told how arrogance and a small penis are her two biggest turn offs when it comes to men.

The Longford beauty joked to her 2.8 million Instagram followers during a Q&A session that she would rather never have sex again when asked by a fan if she would sleep with British Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

The 29-year-old is currently on lockdown in her UK home and spent Sunday night answering questions about how she was passing her time in quarantine.

The Love Island star said: “I found it really, really difficult adapting to fame. 

“When I came out of the villa I didn't know where I was or what I was doing. 

“Most days I’m actually enjoying being on lockdown because I’ve had a good break from work.

“I feel re-energized and feel like I needed it as well.

“I was constantly going since I got out of the villa. 

“It’s been so intense so this time off is really nice.

 “I’ve started exercising a few times a week so that kills a half an hour I was going to say an hour but that would be a lie. I started doing puzzles too.”

When asked about her love life and rumours about a romance with her dance partner Alex Demetriou on ITV’s hit show Dancing on Ice, Maura insisted she was single.

And said she doesn’t engage with trolls on social media. 

She said: “I don’t respond to negative messages, to be honest I really couldn’t give a sh*t.

“And if they are taking the time out of their day to write they obviously care about you.

“Again it doesn’t bother me, we’re in 2020 and a man and a woman still cannot just be friends.”

When one follower asked the former grid girl what turned her off men she said: “Arrogance I suppose and small willys.”

While she said she “would rather never have sex again” when one fan asked her would she sleep with Boris Johnson.

The beauty also insisted she has never had any plastic surgery but said she has “had her lips done,” and revealed she has had grey hairs since she was 18 years old.

Maura told fans she credits her upbringing for her confidence but said she still gets overwhelmed by people when she’s out and about.

She said: “It’s crazy because I’m just a normal girl from the middle of Ireland and I came out of the villa and now everyone knows me.

“When I came out of the villa I saw loads of articles saying ‘oh she had her nose, her bum, her t*ts, her jaw, her whole body done.’

“I’ve had my lips done, that's the only thing I’ve had done.

“Everyone’s different and you just need to love yourself. 

“Something that a lot of people don’t know about me is I am very grey, so I have to dye my hair all of the time, I think I’ve been grey since I was 18-years-old.”
