Maura Higgins swapped her I'm a Celebrity jungle plaits for something a little chicer on Thursday night as she stepped out to support her Love Island bestie at a special screening of Molly-Mae: Behind It All at Odeon Luxe West End.

The former Love Islander, 34, looked markedly different having undergone a dramatic hair transformation that had her looking like none other than British noughties icon, Cheryl.

The colour was also a switch-up for the star as she rocked dark roots with honey-blonde lengths.

It seems she channeled the Girls Aloud star circa 2011 when she chopped off her raven locks into a honey-blonde bob.

She also donned the hairstyle to her 28th birthday party at The Sanderson Hotel alongside a paillette-covered mini dress.

Maura's new look

To accompany her Chezza-inspired do, the reality TV star wore a black cardigan and matching knit micro-shorts with black tights and knee-high boots. She posed with the evening's hostess, Molly-Mae Hague, who was a vision in white.

Maura headed out earlier in the day looking completely different. She supported fellow I'm a Celebrity 2024 star Coleen Rooney at the launch of her collaboration with Applied Nutrition.

Her brunette locks were worn in a slicked high ponytail and she styled khaki skintight leggings with an oversized utility jacket.

Maura's hair diary

It is not the first time the former Glow Up presenter has rocked a shorter do. In 2023, she wore her shortest hairstyle to date – a dark chin-length chop with a full fringe – to the Creed II European premiere.

Meanwhile, last October Maura attended the Pride of Britain Awards where celebrity hairdresser Carl Bembridge styled her locks into a flicky bob with a swirled front piece for a vintage look.
