Unclaimed page — not yet verified by VerifiedHer. Is this you?
Maura Higgins is a real, publicly documented person, not an AI persona. Born in Ballymahon, County Longford, Ireland, she entered ITV2's "Love Island" Series 5 as a Day 10 bombshell in 2019 and reached the final. She went on to present the Irish edition of "Glow Up" and later crossed over to US television as a host of Peacock's "Love Island USA: Aftersun" and "Love Island Games: Aftersun," giving her a distinct US-facing profile beyond her UK reality-TV roots. Her UK credits include "Dancing on Ice" (2020), "Cooking with the Stars" (2022), and a late-entry run on "I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!" (2024). In early 2026 she finished as runner-up on "The Traitors US" Season 4, a result covered by Wikipedia, TODAY, and RealityBlurred, and she is set to compete on "Dancing with the Stars" Season 35, confirmed by Deadline and Variety. She is represented by London talent agency InterTalent Group, which lists named agents on her official client page, and holds brand ambassador roles with M.A.C Cosmetics and L'Oreal Paris. Her verified Instagram and TikTok accounts both use the handle @maurahiggins. Public figures who cross over between UK and US reality TV are frequently targeted by lookalike and impersonator accounts online; readers should always verify against her own linked official accounts before trusting a profile claiming to be her.
