Maura Higgins rushed to hospital after slicing finger

Maura Higgins was taken to the hospital on Monday after she accidentally sliced her finger to the bone.

The 31-year-old reality star, who competed on the 2019 series of Love Island, revealed her scary hospital dash to her Instagram followers on Monday by sharing a picture of herself sitting in the accident and emergency (A&E) waiting room.

Instead of the usual selfie, Maura opted to take a photo in the direction of the hospital floor, showing her legs clad in grey tracksuit bottoms and feet in fluffy black Louis Vuitton slippers.

In the accompanying caption, she wrote, "Ended up in A&E after slicing my finger to the bone... Happy F***ing Monday!!"

The influencer has yet to share more details about how she sustained the injury or how it has been treated.

Maura recently returned to the U.K. after spending her 31st birthday on a luxurious holiday in the Maldives.

The Irish star hit headlines following her split from Strictly Come Dancing professional Giovanni Pernice in October. The Italian dancer took to social media to deny there was any wrongdoing involved in the break-up following reports he was spotted on dating app Raya while they were still in a relationship.

"I just wanted to say a couple of things... Firstly, great relationships with great people can come to a natural end. This has been the case for me recently/ There was absolutely no wrong-doing & this should be the end of any speculation," he wrote.
