Maura Higgins, well-known for her appearance on Love Island UK, has been keeping a low profile as a faithful contestant in Season 4 of The Traitors, successfully making it to the finale alongside five other players. The Irish personality, who has gained popularity in both the U.K. and the U.S., continues to capture audiences with her strategic gameplay.
Entering the game alongside fellow reality star Rob Rausch from Love Island USA, Higgins was part of a competitive lineup that included 21 other notable personalities. Among them were stars from hit reality shows like The Real Housewives franchise and Survivor, as well as television icons from Dancing With the Stars and Top Chef. As the finale approaches, viewers are left wondering whether Higgins will remain loyal to Rausch or take a chance on victory with her fellow Traitors.
Born in 1990 in Longford, Ireland, Higgins has built a substantial career since her Love Island debut. After completing her schooling, she pursued a hairdressing career and worked in a salon for a decade before transitioning into the modeling world. Currently represented by Elite Model Management, she has joined the ranks of high-profile models including Kendall Jenner and Adriana Lima. Higgins is also known for her appearances on various television programs, such as This Morning, Celebrity Juice, and Dancing on Ice, along with her participation in the music video for Liam Payne’s “Get Low.”
On the personal front, Higgins experienced ups and downs in her dating life. She was previously engaged to James Finnegan, her high school sweetheart, before they parted ways after nine years. Higgins has since been in relationships with several other high-profile figures, including a brief romance with Love Island’s Chris Taylor and a notable relationship with professional dancer Giovanni Pernice.
As the Season 4 finale of The Traitors looms, Higgins is now single and focused on her gameplay, adding a layer of intrigue to her character as she competes for victory. The finale is set to air on Thursday, February 26, at 9 PM Eastern Time on Peacock, leaving fans eager to see how her journey unfolds.
