Maura Higgins sparks concern as she begs fans to help her with painful injured knee admitting it feels like it is 'on fire' and is 'killing her'
The Irish TV star, 34, reached out for help from her fans on Instagram on Friday, explaining her knee felt like it was pulsing.
Posing in a make-up free selfie as she held a drink in her hand, the Love Island alum wrote: 'Don't have the time right now to see a specialist, but if anyone has any recommendations for something I can buy to stop my knee from KILLING please DM me.
'It feels like there's a pulse inside of it & it's also on fire.
'The running around with the house move has not helped it. (yes my greys are out too, no time for that either.'
The concerning update comes after Maura moved into her £1.25million five-bedroom 'dream house' in Essex.

Maura, who has amassed an estimated £3.2million fortune from her TV appearances, took to Instagram earlier this month to share the news that she had finally moved in.
Sharing the news she posted a picture of stunning black French doors looking on to a garden, with a huge bouquet of glowers in a vase, Ferrari sparkling wine and a Diptyque candle.
'After the busiest few months.... she's finally in,' the former Love Island star captioned the snap.
Sharing another snap of the kitchen featuring her pal, celebrity hairdresser Carl Bembridge, she wrote: 'No chairs yet but he always finds something to sit on.'
As a young woman in rural Ireland, Maura's future was set - stay in the town, marry her teenage boyfriend and open up a hair salon.
'But that's not what I wanted. That was not my dream. That was my father's and boyfriend's dream. I wanted to do more,' Maura previously defiantly declared.
And leave Ireland she did, going on to star in two ITV reality shows, Love Island and most recently I'm A Celebrity, as well as taking on presenting duties.

In her next big move, the girl from remote County Longford purchased her huge house in Essex.
Her riches have allowed the presenter to upgrade from her previous one-bedroom property in Essex to one with an en-suite master bedroom with four further rooms.
Overjoyed, Maura shared to her Instagram followers a picture of her new kitchen with a chandelier and grey floors, which she bought in October, with the caption 'Bought my dream house'.
An expansive kitchen, with an island, leads out past the dining area, out bi-folding doors to a large walled garden with a neat lawn.
Maura's previous home was raided by three-masked men and so the Love Island star has ensured her new home was in a gated development which provides privacy and security.

He added: "I just feel like, with Shakira it was way more natural in my opinion. "It was more relationship-focused, more emotional. I feel like I was way more into her."

Newlyweds Jack P. Shepherd and wife Hanni Treweek emerge the morning after their wedding wearing shades after partying until 1am
Jack P. Shepherd and his wife Hanni Treweek were spotted leaving their hotel today after partying until the small hours after tying the knot on Saturday. The Coronation Street star, 37, and his bride, 35, covered their eyes with sunglasses after celebrating with their loved ones at a Manchester hotel until 1am. The couple were surrounded by friends, family and colleagues as they tied the knot at Manchester Cathedral, just over one year after he popped the question while on safari in Tanzania, Africa. Hanni carried her bridal gown in a protective bag as they headed home with Jack's son Reuben, 11, who he shares with ex Lauren Shippey. The happy couple flashed beaming smiles as they departed laden with luggage from their big day, including suitcases and gift bags. Jack looked dapper in a navy Ralph Lauren shirt, which he teamed with a pair of skinny jeans and chunky black boots. Meanwhile, Hanni continued the bridal theme in a white dress and denim jacket, which she styled with chic shades and sandals. Reuben helped out as he carried two dog beds out to the car, suggesting that the families pooches -Baby and David - had joined them for the occasion. Their second dog is named after Jack's iconic Cobbles character, who he has played on the ITV show since 2000. Their latest appearance comes after Jack and Hanni were pictured leaving their reception on Sunday morning alongside their bleary-eyed guests. They then headed on to the reception before departing back to their hotel in Manchester in the early hours of the morning after the raucous celebrations. As she left her wedding Hanni had changed out of her lace ceremony dress and into a gorgeous silk strapless number. She wore her dark tresses pinned up and opted for a radiant makeup look as the pair climbed into a waiting car to head back. Real life Corrie couple Sally Carman and Joe Duttine were also seen leaving the party and the bleary-eyed pair put on a loved-up display as they had a smooch. Earlier in the day, the newlyweds shared a passionate kiss as white confetti fell on them after the romantic ceremony. Jack had arrived in a red mustang with his mother and his son Reuben, who he shares with his ex Lauren Shippey. Hanni arrived shortly after, and looked gorgeous in an elegant white gown, with lace detail and a long trail. Fellow Corrie star Lucy Fallon, who plays David's niece Bethany Platt, turned heads in a plunging yellow gown, teamed with gold strappy heels. Tina O'Brien, who plays his sister Sarah, looked typically chic in a plunging blue and white gown, while his on-screen wife Julia Goulding opted for a turquoise number. Other Corrie stars in attendance included Samia Longchambon, Colson Smith, Ben Price, Alan Halsall and Jayne Danson. Jack, who won Celebrity Big Brother earlier this year, previously revealed he took part in the show in order to pay for the wedding. And a source previously told The Sun the pair were going all out to make sure it was their 'dream day'. 'Jack and Hanni are having their big white wedding at Manchester Cathedral on Saturday,' a source said. 'They have gone all out to make sure it's their dream day and there has been no expensed spared.' 'It's a very grand setting getting wed at the cathedral, and it will be packed with guests, including many of Jack's Corrie co-stars.' It came after Hanni got wedding ready during a girls' day out at The Ivy restaurant for her hen party earlier this month. Hanni, who was a colleague of Jack's as a storyline writer and researcher on Corrie, looked stunning in a high-neck white lace mini-dress as she danced the night away to live music. It came after she enjoyed lunch and cocktails at The Ivy, where she posed for snaps with her pals and drank from a giant 'Bride' straw - with her hens all wearing Jack masks. Taking to her Instagram Story on Sunday, Hanni also revealed that she and Jack had been at a lesson for their first dance, as she shared a mirror selfie of the pair in a studio captioned: 'Hungover but dancing through as Mrs Shepherd to be .' She captioned her hen party snaps: 'The non hen party party, two weeks before the wedding. 25 years of a special friendship with these beautiful girlies, how lucky are we. 'I love you all so much, thank you for throwing me a non hen party party it was perfect. The next time I see you I'll be walking down the aisle.' Back in June, Hanni shared a sweet post about her husband-to-be as they celebrated a year since getting engaged. Hanni shared a sweet tribute to her husband as she counted down the days to the nuptials. Sharing a collection of throwback snaps from their trip to the Serengeti where he asked her to be his wife, Hanni wrote: '365 days of being your Fiancée. 51 days until we become Husband & Wife. 'Looking back at the most special memories with you, Tanzania will always hold a special place in my heart ⛺️❤️ Happy one year anniversary. What a magical year it's been ✨.' Resharing the post on his Instagram Story, Jack wrote: 'Happy one year anniversary @hannitreweek. I'm so lucky to call you my future wife.' At the time, the couple posed for loved-up snaps in their safari getups to announce the happy news on social media. Flashing her sparkling engagement ring, Hanni beamed for the camera before kissing her new fiancé. Captioning the snaps, she gushed: '05.06.24 I said YES to forever!!!' Jack and Hanni have been dating since 2017, after meeting on the soap when she worked in the press office. She later became a story liner on the ITV show, before quitting to work as a fashion influencer. Despite being colleagues, their romance actually began when Jack impressed Hanni at a mutual friend's wedding. Speaking to OK! Magazine in 2020, Jack recalled: 'Then our mutual friends got married and we were both guests at the wedding. 'We got chatting, I made Hanni laugh, we had a couple of drinks and we flirted. That was it.' The duo then later bumped into each other once again in a Sainsbury's, which led to an exchange of texts and a blossoming romance. He told The Daily Star: 'I texted her afterwards and said 'that was awkward' and she told me she thought she looked a mess and then we started texting from there. 'I actually thought she looked fit – I just saw the girl I fancy wearing Lycra! We quickly went on our first date and we just clicked.'

Jess Phillips recreates Kate Bush's Wuthering Heights dance
Jess Phillips, the Labour MP, has recreated Kate Bush's Wuthering Heights dance. The safeguarding minister joined a crowd of hundreds at The Most Wuthering Heights Day Ever in Birmingham on Saturday. The global event sees participants recreate the music video for Bush's 1978 song while wearing red dresses. Photographs showed the MP for Birmingham Yardley performing a series of poses as she followed along with the routine. Events have previously taken place in locations such as Sydney, Copenhagen, Berlin and Folkestone. They typically take place in late July to coincide with Kate Bush's birthday on July 30. Wuthering Heights was Bush's debut single with lyrics inspired by the 1847 novel by Emily Brontë.
