Maura Higgins reveals she has moved into £1.25million five-bedroom ‘dream house’ in Essex after ‘busiest few months’

Maura Higgins has officially moved into her £1.25million five-bedroom ‘dream house’ in Essex.

This year, it was disclosed that the contestant from I’m A Celebrity, aged 34, used some of her savings to purchase a spacious five-bedroom home located in a prosperous area of the county, as reported by TopMob.

On Sunday, Maura, known for accumulating a reported £3.2 million wealth through her television roles, decided to announce via Instagram that she had officially relocated to a new place.

Sharing her post featuring a beautiful photo of French doors overlooking a lush garden, adorned with an impressive arrangement of roses, a gleaming bottle of Ferrari sparkling wine, and a soothing Diptyque candle.

After a whirlwind few months, I’ve been eagerly waiting for this moment – and now, here she is! That’s what the ex-Love Island celebrity wrote alongside this photo.

In another photo from the kitchen, showcasing her friend, renowned hairstylist Carl Bembridge, she captioned: ‘No seats just yet, but he always manages to find a spot to rest.’

Growing up in the heart of rural Ireland, I, much like Maura, found my life’s path mapped out for me: settle down, wed my childhood sweetheart, and run a humble hair salon. But as fate would have it, I yearned for something more, something beyond the confines of our quaint village.

Previously, Maura assertively stated, “However, that’s not what I desired. That wasn’t my aspiration. It was my father’s and boyfriend’s ambition. What I yearned for was something greater.

She departed from Ireland and subsequently appeared in two ITV reality series, Love Island and more recently I’m A Celebrity, while also assuming hosting responsibilities.

In her next big move, the girl from remote County Longford purchased her huge house in Essex.

Through her wealth, she has moved up from her old one-bedroom house in Essex to a new place boasting a master suite with an en-suite bathroom and four additional rooms.

Thrilled beyond words, I couldn’t help but share on Instagram a snapshot of my newly acquired abode – complete with a stunning chandelier and stylish gray flooring. This little gem was mine as of October, and it’s safe to say that it’s the embodiment of my long-held dream home!

Previously, Maura’s residence was invaded by three masked individuals, leading her to prioritize security and privacy in her new living arrangement. Consequently, she opted for a residence situated within a secured gated community.

Following her announcement about her new residence in October, it wasn’t long before Maura received the house keys. Just a month later, in November, she embarked on a four-week journey to Australia, immersing herself in the wilderness.

In 2019, Maura stepped into the Love Island villa, and since then, she’s been shining brightly under the limelight for nearly six years, landing profitable endorsement deals. As a result, her net worth is approximately £3.2 million, according to estimates.

Last year, her highly anticipated late entry into I’m A Celebrity brought her even more endorsement opportunities, and it seems there are many more to come.

The house is approximately a 30-minute car ride from Pete Wicks, the ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ celebrity, whose home is a sleek bachelor pad located in West Essex.

More recently, Maura revealed that she swapped her role at an Irish hair salon for the position of a ring girl with the company Monster, going against the objections of both her boyfriend and father at the time.

The influencer said: ‘I wanted to do more and travel the world. I’m young, why not?’

Maura was noticed by ITV recruiters for Love Island while she was spending time with Monster. They reached out to her several times before she agreed, doing so as a form of retaliation against her ex-boyfriend. This decision has ultimately earned her a substantial fortune worth millions.

After splurging on a brand-new £60,000 Porsche for herself, her significant house purchase followed, right before she entered the jungle of I’m A Celebrity in November.

Maura acquired a Porsche Macan, usually priced between £60,000 and £98,000.

Sharing a photo from inside her new car, she showed off its luxurious all-white leather interior.

Maura captioned the post: ‘My baby has arrived finally,’ along with a white heart emoji.
