FANS of Maura Higgins have been left convinced that she is preparing to soft launch a brand new romance after on-camera flirting with a Traitors USA co-star.

The Irish TV beauty is one of the Faithful’s on this year’s and is taking the programme by storm.

During her appearance, she has developed a rather flirtaious bond with USA star Rob Rausch.

The pair had previously met thanks to Maura’s time as the host of Aftersun for the series where Rob was an Islander.

But eagle-eyed fans think Maura could have made a very cryptic reference to a potential romance with Rob after filming ended.

The pair have been flirting non-stop during the series and now Maura’s choice of clothing in one of her latest Instagram posts has raised some fans suspicions.

Hunky snake wrangler Rob is known for wearing his dungarees thanks to his work prior to being a TV personality.

Now, typically-glam Maura has shared an Instagram post in partnership with denim brand Guess in which she can be seen donning dungarees.

It led one fan to create a video in which they argued that Maura could be ‘soft launching’ a post-show link to Rob.

In the clip, the Maura superfan said: “Are we taking this as a soft launch?”

Maura herself further fuelled speculation of a potential connection with Rob in a video with Page Six in which she admitted if the Traitors castle had a Hideaway, she and Rob would be most likely to use it.

She joked that would be the case as they are both from Love Island before noting she had seen the “fan edits” about the pair of them.

However, it is unlikely that Maura and Rob are given that the shower was filmed last summer and Maura has been notably single in the time that has followed the recording of the show.

Maura and Rob’s flirting was first picked up on when he threw her over his back during a challenge.

It led show host Alan Cumming to poke fun at her as he said: “I know Maura likes to rely on Rob in these challenges.”

Rob is one of this year’s Traitors and is still in play in the game.

Maura has so far managed to avoid banishment or murder as a Faithful player.
