Maura Higgins looks drenched as she poses in her underwear on St Patrick's Day

Maura Higgins showed off her patriotic side as she donned skimpy green lingerie for St Patrick’s Day.

The former Love Island star looked drenched as she danced around a pole for Ann Summer’s latest lingerie campaign.

The Longford native posed in white over-the-knee boots wearing a green lace matching bra and knicker set, putting her toned physique on display.

Maura recently revealed how she achieves abs on her tummy, telling her followers that while she hasn’t been to the gym in a while, she eats healthy and “clean” most of the time. The 31-year-old said she had been asked dozens of times about her body and how she managed to maintain her rippling abdominals.

"Do you have a PT or what programme do you do to keep so slim?" one fan had asked, to which Maura replied at length.

"This question has actually come in the most which I'm pretty shocked about to be honest," she began on her Instagram stories.

"I'm not a nutritionist or anything like that but I do have a good enough diet and stay as clean as possible, but then I still have whatever I want.

"Lots of you talking about abs, which is a funny one really because we all actually have abs, it's just the body fat obviously is covering our abs."

She went on to detail how certain "foods store belly fat" as she credited her sister, a personal trainer, for teaching her about diet and exercise.

Later in the Q&A, Maura detailed how fans had continued to press about her body - including asking "what size clothes she is".

"Guys, some of these questions I'm just not going to answer," she added. "There's questions like, what weight am I?

"I'm not going to tell everyone my weight, am I? Because I'd just get trolled to death probably. I'm trying to find one I can answer."

The sizzling new pics come just weeks after Maura revealed how she receives hundreds of messages every day telling her that she “needs a boob job” to look sexy or that she “need to eat” because she's “too thin”.

“I get it all the time. I get it so much. People writing: ‘Go and get a boob job’ or, ‘You’re too skinny.’”

Thankfully, Maura has Sharon, her “Irish mammy”, to remind her to ignore social media trolls.

“I can be bad for [reading the comments]. But I’ve got better. Now I’m a bit like: ‘I’m 31 – whatever.’ Mammies do have the best advice. I tell mine everything, and I mean everything. There’s nothing I don’t tell her.

“I’ve always spoken to my mammy about it and asked: ‘Why is it OK for people to turn around to your face and say: ‘God, you’re too skinny’?

"Would you ever say to somebody: ‘God, you’re too fat’? No, you wouldn’t.”
