MAURA Higgins was left fuming after she discovered that her nephew was being bullied and decided to confront them.
The Love Island star, 31, had the perfect way to shut down the bullies who were taunting the schoolboy.
The Irish beauty rocked up to the school Thursday in a bid to stop the bullying.
But Maura was bombarded by excited school children who raced to take photos with her.
The brunette star tried to keep a low-profile, but hundreds of kids had already spotted Maura and began to surround the car.
Alongside the short video, she wrote: "When you get a phone call to say he's being bullied at school yesterday…so you make sure you're on the school pick up today."

“Now bosses are looking at female stars who have the strength to hold the show together, while also the warmth to gently quiz contestants in the way that Davina McCall and Emma Willis did so well.
“Maura is a homegrown ITV talent who has all that – plus of course looks great on screen.”
