Maura Higgins revealed she had an MRI on Thursday as she posed for a mirror selfie wearing a red hospital gown on Instagram.
The Love Island star, 34, left her long brunette tresses loose as she hid her face behind her phone for the snap taken in the hospital changing rooms.
She wrote: ‘MRI ready’.
While she didn’t give any more information alongside the post, Maura recently revealed that her knee has been ‘killing her’ as she opened up about about the injury with her 4million followers.
The Irish model explained that she can ‘feel a pulse’ inside her knee and due to ‘running around’ while moving house the pain has got worse.
Posing in a make-up free selfie as she held a drink in her hand, she wrote: ‘Don’t have the time right now to see a specialist, but if anyone has any recommendations for something I can buy to stop my knee from KILLING please DM me.

‘It feels like there’s a pulse inside of it & it’s also on fire.
‘The running around with the house move has not helped it. (yes my greys are out too, no time for that either.’
Maura will have to wait and see the results of the MRI before she will know exactly what is causing her knee pain.
According to the NHS, an MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) is a medical imaging technique that uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to create detailed pictures of the inside of the body.
It is a non-invasive and painless procedure used to diagnose and monitor various medical conditions.
The concerning update comes after Maura moved into her £1.25million five-bedroom ‘dream house’ in Essex.
Maura, who has amassed an estimated £3.2million fortune from her TV appearances, took to Instagram earlier this month to share the news that she had finally moved in.
Sharing the news she posted a picture of stunning black French doors looking on to a garden, with a huge bouquet of glowers in a vase, Ferrari sparkling wine and a Diptyque candle.

‘After the busiest few months…. she’s finally in,’ the former Love Island star captioned the snap.
Sharing another snap of the kitchen featuring her pal, celebrity hairdresser Carl Bembridge, she wrote: ‘No chairs yet but he always finds something to sit on.’
As a young woman in rural Ireland, Maura’s future was set – stay in the town, marry her teenage boyfriend and open up a hair salon.
‘But that’s not what I wanted. That was not my dream. That was my father’s and boyfriend’s dream. I wanted to do more,’ Maura previously defiantly declared.
And leave Ireland she did, going on to star in two ITV reality shows, Love Island and most recently I’m A Celebrity, as well as taking on presenting duties.
In her next big move, the girl from remote County Longford purchased her huge house in Essex.
Her riches have allowed the presenter to upgrade from her previous one-bedroom property in Essex to one with an en-suite master bedroom with four further rooms.
Overjoyed, Maura shared to her Instagram followers a picture of her new kitchen with a chandelier and grey floors, which she bought in October, with the caption ‘Bought my dream house’.
An expansive kitchen, with an island, leads out past the dining area, out bi-folding doors to a large walled garden with a neat lawn.
Maura’s previous home was raided by three-masked men and so the Love Island star has ensured her new home was in a gated development which provides privacy and security.
