Maura Higgins shares first glimpse inside incredible new £1,200,000 home
The Love Island star, 34, revealed to her Instagram followers in October that she was swapping her one-bedroom property for a luxury new mansion.
On Sunday, the reality TV personality posted some pictures from inside the home after moving in over the weekend.
Posting a snap inside the sleek grey kitchen with views through large French doors into a manicured garden, she wrote: 'After the busiest few months…. she's finally in.'
On the kitchen counter, she showed a large bouquet of flowers, a bottle of sparkling wine, and a candle to celebrate the occasion.
A second picture on her Instagram Stories showed celebrity hairdresser friend Carl Bembridge sitting on a kitchen surface, adding: 'No chairs yet but he always finds something to sit on.'
Last year, Maura shared a similar snap of the modern-style kitchen announcing that she had bought a new home, writing alongside the picture: 'Bought my dream home.'
The I'm A Celebrity star has been relatively out of the spotlight following her kiss with Danny Jones at the Brit Awards.
Maura has remained silent on the kissing scandal, but the McFly singer issued a public apology to his wife, model Georgia Horsley.
In an Instagram Story, he wrote: 'Sorry it's taken me a while to post this but I've taken some time out to be with those closest to me.
'I want to deeply apologise to my wife and family for putting them in this situation. I love them so much and we'll continue to deal with this privately.
'I love you guys, thank you for your patience, understanding, and support. See you all soon, Danny.' More Trending
Danny skipped the Baftas in May with a source telling Metro it was in a bid to avoid Maura following the fallout of the scandal.
'Danny wasn't ready to bump into Maura after everything that happened. He's ready to move on from the situation entirely and put it in the past,' they said.
'Although a lot of his I'm A Celebrity co-stars were there last night and it would have been great to see them again, he didn't feel coming face-to-face with Maura at such a big event would have been appropriate.'
Maura is next set to appear on our screens on the US spin-off of The Traitors alongside the likes of Lisa Rinna, Michael Rapaport, and Porsha Williams.

Furious Love Island fans demand boy ‘goes home' after ‘never missing a chance to humiliate' partner
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) FURIOUS Love Island fans have demanded one boy "goes home" as he "never misses a chance to humiliate" his partner. Last night's episode of Love Island saw the boys rate each girl that snogged them in the racy challenge. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 5 Love Island fans demanded the axe for Harry after he humiliated Helena again Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 5 Harry embarrassed Helena by scoring her lower than two of his exes Credit: Eroteme 5 Harry gave Emma an 8.5 for her snog Credit: Eroteme 5 Helena was left fuming after Harry scored her kiss lower than his ex Credit: Eroteme The lads were all blindfolded and donned headphones, not knowing who was smooching them. But raging fan couldn't believe Harry scored his partner Helena an eight, which was lower than his ex Emma and his former villa partner Shakira. Harry's excuse was he didn't even know it was her when they kissed, despite her saying she gave him three pecks at the end like she does when they're together. Harry claimed her kiss was too quick and not slow like the way they usually kiss One fan said: "He never misses an opportunity to humiliate her. Never. The amount of disrespect every single time." Another fumed: "Harry seriously needs to go. He has such little respect for Helena. "I hope she watches it when she comes out and see's all his lies. It's ridiculous at this point. Emma is also too obsessed w Harry as well, it's irritating." One more said: "Harry knew that was Helena he kissed but wanted to use the opportunity to show the other women interest." Someone else said this on X: "Is Helena just pretending not to know, or is she really that clueless? "Harry clearly knew it was her, that's why he only gave her 8 points. Love Island star Yasmin's sister is convinced exes Emma and Harry have secret game plan and hints at pre-villa pact "He just wants to mess with her head and soft-launch the fact that he doesn't like her." During Helena's kiss with Harry, she wrapped her hand around his neck as a signal to him that it was her. When it came to describing their kiss, Harry said: "A familiar one for me, I've had the hand around the neck before, as for the kiss itself an eight out of ten." Speaking in the Beach Hut, a disappointed Helena said: "Harry scored me an eight, I'm trying to work out if he didn't realise it was me, but I don't know how he wouldn't realise that was me." Emma then worked her way down the line-up during her turn. She then enjoyed a long kiss with Harry, which promoted Helena to say: "Emma and Harry's kiss went on for a long time, f*** off Emma." Harry described the kiss: "She grabbed the bum cheeks straight away, I've got a little spring in my step back and slowed things down on the kissing front which I'm a big fan of." It came off the back of Harry enjoying chats with new bombshell Angel. He even told her that he'd love to be in his bed. Emma and Harry were together for three years, but split after she claimed he cheated and brought other girls back to their home — something she revealed in explosive scenes during her return.

Justin Bieber addresses drug use in cryptic social media post amid fan concern
Canadian singer Justin Bieber has reposted a clip of DMX refusing sobriety without explanation, prompting speculation about his own stance on drug use Justin Bieber has subtly addressed drug use on Instagram this week by sharing a throwback clip of the late DMX refusing sobriety in a 2013 episode of Iyanla: Fix My Life. When asked if he wanted to live clean, DMX fired back: 'No weed, no drinking, nothing? Why would I?' He added: 'I think I'm exactly where I need to be with God.' Bieber, 31, didn't add any caption or explanation to the video, which was originally posted by Los Angeles dispensary Gassy. The singer, who had been open about his Christian faith and bond with Churchome pastor Judah Smith, has frequently posted images involving marijuana, though always within the bounds of California's legal recreational use. Concerns about Bieber's health have circulated this year, but his representatives have continued to deny speculation of hard drug use, telling TMZ in February: 'The recurring narrative that Justin is using hard drugs is absolutely not true." The Baby hitmaker is reportedly focused on music and fatherhood following a major reset in his personal life. However, it's not the first time Bieber has posted about drug use. Back in March, he left fans more concerned than ever after seeming to take drugs in an Instagram post - with the star also appearing to have ditched his wedding ring in the snaps at the time amid concerns about his marriage to Hailey Bieber. In his past post, Justin shared six very similar photos of himself appearing to use a bong to smoke marijuana. The shots showed the Canadian singer sitting on a bike, with several quad bikes parked behind him. Justin kept his head down and covered with a hood, layering his hoodie with a navy and purple jacket, paired with loose black trousers and light brown boots. At the time, the singer made a clear glass bong the star of the photos, alternating between lighting it and blowing out huge streams of smoke. If the photos weren't clear enough, he chose the song Hits from the Bong by Cypress Hill to play in the background It comes after Bieber surprised fans by dropping a new album titled SWAG. The Baby singer released new music, with tracks including Therapy Sessions, Dadz Love and Devotion, amongst others, last week. In his emotional album - which some fans are describing as his best work yet - Justin opened up about his own feelings and emotions at length, where he and his collaborators sang and spoke about their emotions. Justin has concerned fans as of late with his erratic social media posts, and there have even been rumours he has split from his wife, Hailey Bieber. However, it seems like they are stronger than ever as he shared a snap of them and their son to mark the album release. In his song All I Can Take, Justin sings about "no one listening" and talks about the "symptoms of his sensitivity". He explains in the lyrics: "These symptoms of my sensitivity / Feels worser knowin' no one's listening / This is it, I can't change, Lord knows I try." In another part of the song, he sings about all he can take, as he shares: "And it's all I can take (In this moment) / And it's all I can take (All I can take) / And it's all I can take (In this moment)." In Daisies, he talks about whether someone loves him or not and his own fears about the future of a bond with someone else. He makes no specific reference to any relationship including that of his wife Hailey Bieber. In the song, he sings, "Throwin' petals like, "Do you love me or not?" / Head is spinnin', and it don't know when to stop / You said "Forever," babe, did you mean it or not? / Hold on, hold on." In his track Go Baby, Justin sings about supporting someone else as they struggle. He promises them they can cry on his shoulder whenever they need and that they "don't need to pretend" they're ok. "When sunlight turns to shadow and it gets hard to face / Like water to a flower, babe, I know you need the rain / Nothing needs to work out and nothing needs to break / Don't need to pretend that you're okay," he sings. "So cry on my shoulder, just turn into me / Cry on my shoulder whenever you need it / You better believe it that I can hold all the weight and shrivel inside." And in his track Walking Away, Justin worryingly sings about being "defenceless" and wanting to change. "Days go by so fast, don't wanna spend them with you / So tell me why you're throwing stones at my back / You know I'm defenceless," he sings, whilst in another bit, he adds: "I made you a promise / I told you I'd change / It's just human nature / These growing pains / And baby, I ain't walking away."
