ITV Love Island star issues health alert ahead of rumoured I’m A Celeb appearance

ITV Love Island star Maura Higgins has issued a health alert, urging her fans to prioritize their health screenings ahead of her rumoured appearance on I’m A Celebrity. The former Love Island contestant herself underwent a cervical cancer screening and shared the importance of such tests with her followers on social media.

Maura, 33, stressed the significance of routine smear tests for women aged between 25 and 64 as part of cervical cancer prevention. These screenings detect human papillomavirus (HPV), which can lead to abnormal cell changes in the cervix if left untreated. The NHS recommends regular screenings to identify and address any issues before they develop into cancer.

Speculation suggests that Maura may join the upcoming I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here cast, alongside Tulisa and Coleen Rooney. Sources revealed that Maura’s potential inclusion in the show follows the withdrawal of another reality star, Tommy Fury. Described as a perfect fit for the show due to her humour and personality, Maura is expected to bring glamour and entertainment to the jungle setting.

The risk of cervical cancer extends to anyone with a cervix who has engaged in sexual activities, irrespective of the number of partners or sexual orientation. Even those who have received the HPV vaccine or undergone a partial hysterectomy may still be at risk. The NHS advises those at risk to stay informed through its website for further guidance.

In light of Maura Higgins’ health advocacy and potential TV appearance, the importance of regular health screenings and awareness of one’s health status is paramount. Stay tuned for updates on Maura’s journey and remember to prioritise your health always.
