According to a source, Maura is rapidly gaining popularity overseas, and appearing on The Traitors is merely one aspect of this rise in stardom.

It appears that Maura had to step down from hosting Aftersun because of complications with her schedule.
However, the much-adored Love Island participant disclosed that her connection with the series doesn’t have to conclude.
Maura expressed that people shouldn’t get too settled, as she plans to return. (Sophie Monk will replace the 34-year-old.)
According to a source speaking to The Sun, it’s confirmed that the former Irish Islander, Maura, is set to reappear. Despite being unable to host Aftersun this time around because of other job obligations, she will make an appearance on our screens again during the show’s later stages.
After gaining fame during the fifth season of Love Island alongside Tommy Fury and Molly-Mae Hague, Maura made her debut on U.S. television in 2023.
She came back to Love Island, taking on the roles as the social media presenter for Love Island USA and the host of the Love Island Games.

In 2024, she made her comeback to UK television, featuring on “I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!”, a decision that turned out financially beneficial for the renowned Irish actress.
After the performance, Maura secured several endorsement contracts, one of which was a substantial deal, valued at six figures, with the cosmetics company L’Oreal.
After confessing that she felt ‘released’ upon being endorsed by the French business following her kiss with Danny Jones at the BRITs while under the influence, Maura posed for pictures following the contract signing in March. (102 characters)
