'Food coma' Maura Higgins shows off 'food baby' as she recovers from Christmas indulgence

Maura Higgins impressed fans with her honesty after sharing a candid snap of her post-Christmas belly.

The Longford lass showed off her 'baby bump' after eating herself into a 'food coma' over the festive season.

Teasing fans, she shared a poll asking followers to vote whether her bump was due to a 'baby' or a 'food baby'.

The stunning brunette posed in a pair of striped grey pyjamas rolled up to show off her bloated belly on her Instagram Stories.

While Maura joked about her bump, many of her fans showered her with praise for "being real".

Maura posted screenshots of a series of DMs she received from multiple fans thanking her for her honesty.

"Thank you so much for showing us this," one grateful follower wrote.

Another answered: "Keeping it real for us all."

And a third added: "This made me feel a bit better! You're beautiful."

The Ballymahon native also revealed her favourite tea tipple is a nice cup of Barry’s.

Maura, who currently lives in London, also unveiled the contents of a special package sent to her this Christmas with her preferred brand tucked away inside.

She said: "I’m happy with this delivery…Can’t beat a Barry’s Tea."
