Maura Higgins' dramatic hair transformation as she goes blonde and asks fans for advice

Love Island star Maura Higgins took to her Instagram Stories to show off her new hairstyle with her 3.8 million followers

Love Island US guest host Maura Higgins looked out of this world as she debuted her new lighter hair.

The TV personality, who rose to fame on the UK version of the dating programme, recently finished filming for the US show and decided to change her look. She usually has dark brown hair but decided to go a few shades lighter. The star posted a gorgeous selfie to her Instagram Stories.

Her new hair was styled in loose waves and she rocked a black corset. She captioned the post: "Lightened my hair because the sun in Fiji already did the hard part!! Do we like it? I'm unsure." Maura, 33, spent several months in Fiji filming for the popular dating programme.

Not only does she guest host the show, but she also hosts Love Island : Aftersun. A few weeks ago, Maura was left flustered after filming with Love Island USA contestant Harrison Luna. She was shown an unseen clip of her wooing over the contestant and was embarrassed at being caught.

She was drooling over Harrison during behind-the-scenes footage on the spin-off show, AfterSun. The hunky finance worker, who resembles actor Charlie Hunnam, seemed to have Maura in a fluster as a member of production changed Harrison's microphone. Using her prompt card to calm herself down, she said: "I'll just sweat over here. It's this fire." Oblivious to the fire pit, Harrison replied: "Yeah it's pretty hot here in Fiji."

When their interview came to an end, Harrison stood up, took Maura's hand and said: "Nice to see you again." And as he turned to leave, she looked at him dreamily and made a heart shape with her hands as she mimed "Love you." She then said: "What a man. Can I go in as a bombshell?" Realising that her moment of flirty behaviour was captured, she said: "I'm actually weirded out by how much I was staring at him."

Earlier this year, The Sun revealed that she had broken up with her boyfriend Bobby Holland Hanton - who is Chris Hemsworth's stunt double. The duo started dating last summer but in March, sources told the publication that the reality TV star realised that there was no future for them as a couple.

A source said: "It was really fun for a while. But they're different people. It's over between them."
