Love Island star Maura Higgins has given her horrifying account of being sexually assaulted by a taxi driver. The 31 year old revealed what happened during the shocking incident as she answered a fan’s question during a Q&A session on Instagram Stories.

Maura, who had gone for a sunny walk by a lake, told her 3.5 million followers listening in: "I had an incident with a taxi driver a long time ago in Ireland. "Silly me, I fell asleep.

My friends were dropped off before me and I was dropped off alone because I lived alone at the time. "I woke up and his hand was right up my skirt. "Honestly, I sobered up so quickly.

I mesmerised his taxi number so quick and still remembered it the next day." Before discussing the disturbing encounter, Maura had told her fans she’d had “a few” bad encounters with men, as she prefaced: “The worst one I’ve never ever, ever, opened up to any of you about, and I don’t even think I’m ready yet. “It was, like, probably one of the scariest things that’s ever happened to me.” Maura gained much love among viewers during her 2018 stint on Love Island for her frank-talk and bubbly personality - particularly when it came to discussing women and sex.
