Maura, who stunned in a mini white dress at the BBC Radio 1 Teen Awards in London on Sunday, turned 29 on Monday, 25 November, and to mark the occasion 23 year old Curtis couldn't help but post some snaps from his girlfriend's Irish upbringing.

While the first three photos see Maura at various ages, dressed in mostly pink and red outfits, the last snap sees a present-day Maura with a full face of make up hugging her beau tightly.

Sharing the photos on Instagram, Curtis wrote: "Happy birthday to this little munchkin @maurahiggins ….. Miss you already and can not wait to see you.

"You really are truly amazing and beautiful. To see everything you have achieved in the past months is incredible and I'm so lucky to be able to call you my girlfriend HAPPY BIRTHDAY".

Maura, who was touched by the gesture, quickly replied: "Thank you so much for the best weekend & for always putting a smile on my face" followed by a heart emoji.

Commenting on the post, Love Islander Michael Griffiths, 27, wrote: "This is hella cute"

She continued: "So many hilarious memories with you have the best day". [sic]

This comes just days after Maura and Curtis were reunited after taking some time to focus on their careers. The couple are in a long distance relationship, with Curtis living in London as Maura resides in Ireland.

To mark the occasion, Maura took to Instagram to share a clip of Curtis fast asleep as he rests his head in her lap.

Posting the cute video to her 2.6million followers, Maura pulls an annoyed face at the camera after giving fans a glimpse of the snoozing Curtis.

But, clearly tickled by the video, Curtis reposted the video to his own 1.5million followers, writing over it: "Last thing I said was I'm not sleeping then woke up a hour later." [sic]
