MAURA Higgins has landed another job in America just weeks after taking part in The Traitors US.
The Irish presenter, 34, will be hosting a newly commissioned Aftersun for the upcoming Love Island Games after impressing bosses on the regular show.
Maura took the helm for Love Island USA’s sister show, which airs on streaming service Peacock in the US, for its fifth season last year and is now heading to Fiji for her next gig.
An TV insider told us: “The first series of Love Island Games didn’t have an Aftersun sister show as it was pre-recorded and aired at a later date, but this time around for season 2 it will air in real time like the regular show does.
“As a result, bosses have commissioned an Aftersun series to run as a companion show and it will be fronted by Maura Higgins , who hosts Aftersun for the regular Love Island USA .
“Maura was thrilled to be asked to do it, as Games is a totally separate show so there was no guarantee she would be offered it.
“When bosses approached her, she was over the moon because it proves how happy they are with her and she is seen as a key fixture in the Love Island USA family.”
The source added: “Her stateside career is going from strength to strength and comes off the back of her doing Traitors US. Maura would love to spend more time doing work in the US and it feels like this is the next step to that.”
Maura recently returned from Scotland where she filmed the show with the likes of Real Housewives stars Lisa Rinna and Caroline Stanbury .
The next series of Love Island Games is set to start filming next month in Fiji.
The show features stars from the various editions of the show all living together – and unlike the original format of the show, the stars have to compete in various challenges to win.
Maya Jama hosted the first series but has now stepped down and has been replaced by Vanderpump Rules star Ariana Madix .
