Maura Higgins, 35, reveals the tweakments she’s undergone however denies beauty surgical procedure as she blames her ‘altering’ face on ‘make-up and lighting’

Maura Higgins has revealed the tweakments she has undergone after leaving fans stunned by her equally ageless and unrecognisable appearance. 

The TV personality, 35, opened up about her changing face but denied going under the knife during an Instagram Q&A with followers on Friday.

Maura explained that she gets regular Botox but no longer partakes in filler, before claiming her drastically different appearance was in fact down to ‘make-up and lighting’. 

When one fan asked her secret, the star replied: ‘I’ve always been very open about this, I do get Botox every 6-8 months, and I had lip filler years ago but haven’t had any in over 3.5 years now. Other than that, I haven’t had anything else done’.

‘I see so many videos online breaking down all these different procedures people think I’ve had and honestly it’s not true. We all change over the years,’

She went on: ‘And things like make-up lighting, angles, even how you do your brows or contour can completely change how your face looks. There are so many factors that go into it’.

‘I also don’t sunbathe, which I genuinely think is one of the biggest factors in keeping your skin looking youthful, and I take my skincare very seriously’. 

Meanwhile  Maura is reportedly in talks for a project with Disney fresh off her success on The Traitor US.

She has been attempting to crack America in recent months after she made it to the final of the murder mystery show.

According to The Sun, the Irish model has been telling friends she is in talks for a role in a Disney project.

The insider said: ‘Maura is keeping her cards close to her chest but she couldn’t help but tell pals she’s reading scripts for Disney. 

‘Everyone – including Maura – is stunned at how well her career in the US is going. This is just the beginning.’

Daily Mail has contacted representatives of Maura Higgins for comment. 

Maura is also reportedly being lined up for another huge gig – the next season of The Bachelorette after the show was axed in the wake of Taylor Frankie Paul’s domestic violence arrest.

At the 2025 BAFTAs she thanked aesthetics doctor, Dr Rosh (also known as Dr Roshan Ravindran), – who has treated celebrities for Botox and fillers – for ‘making my skin glow’

The Love Island star is said to be among the names being considered following the sudden cancellation of the upcoming season.

Season 22 of The Bachelorette had been due to premiere on March 22, with Mormon Wives star Taylor, 31, set to lead the series.

However, the network pulled the show just days before launch after a shocking 2023 video surfaced of Taylor attacking her ex-boyfriend, Dakota Mortensen, 33, with her minor daughter present.

Now, according to gossip site Deux Moi, an anonymous tip has suggested that Maura could step in as a replacement, following her growing popularity in the US.

It claimed: ‘ABC exec friend said that they are looking into getting Maura Higgins to be the new Bachelorette and do a live shooting of it.

‘They shut down Layla and Miranda as a dual season and are trying to steer away from the SLOMW girlies.’

The video, which was first published by TMZ, has sparked a backlash and saw Taylor’s season of the Bachelorette canned just three days before it was due to air. 

In a statement, Disney executives blamed the decision to cancel the series on the clip and said their focus was on ‘supporting the family’.

The statement said: ‘In light of the newly released video just surfaced today, we have made the decision to not move forward with the new season of The Bachelorette at this time, and our focus is on supporting the family.’

The bombshell decision to cancel the show could cost ABC up to $28 million, with filming costs for The Bachelorette totting up to $2 million per episode.
