Many things are guaranteed when the weather heats up in the UK... Tinnies in the park. Fake tan flying off the shelves. More BBQ invites than we can count. And the temptation to cut our hair into a summery bob.

Speaking of which, former Love Islander Maura Higgins just revealed she's gone for the big summer chop, debuting a bob on the BAFTAs red carpet this afternoon (11 May). This comes just weeks after Maura underwent another major hair transformation, swapping her trademark brunette strands for a buttery blonde 'do that blended soft platinum tones using a subtle balayage effect.

Arriving earlier today at London's Royal Festival Hall in a pale-blue, princess-style gown, Maura unveiled her latest hair overhaul, which is a major change from the lengthy locks we've seen all over her Instagram as of late. Uh, hello waist-length hair.

Previously speaking about the products he uses on Maura's hair in 'bob mode', celebrity hair stylist Carl Bembridge said on Instagram that Color Wow is the brand he always reaches for.

To that end, Maura revealed that's exactly what she missed during her stint on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here last year. "I use a lot of the Color Wow products. My main go-to product is called Dream Coat because I have really really frizzy hair, and if you saturate your hair with that it keeps the frizz at bay," she said on the Sheerluxe podcast. "That's the one thing I did miss in the jungle."

BRB, off to book in with our hairdresser for a summer bob...
