But, Maura won’t be entering the villa as an Islander, instead she will be taking over the social channels for the hit series, which airs on Peacock.
The show announced the news this evening, writing: “This just in… @maurahiggins will be your social ambassador this season bringing (sneaking) you the BTS scoop all summer!”
The news went down very well with fans, with one writing: “@maurahiggins is my all time fave 
love island 
girl! 
Having her on 
is epic!”
A second said: “A LOVE ISLAND LEGEND!!!!!! Welcome to @loveislandusa @maurahiggins! #LoveIslandUSA.”
And Iain Stirling commented: “Welcome to the team.”
Maura first set tongues wagging as she jetted away, telling fans: “Bye bye London… for a long time.”
The brunette beauty added fuel to the fire as she touched down in her new location and was greeted by two men holding up signs with the Love Island logo on.
The signs read ‘got a text,’ and Maura posted the mysterious welcome to the country on her Instagram Stories.
Maura found fame on Love Island in 2019, when she instantly become a fan favourite.
She ended up coupled up with Curtis Pritchard in a surprise twist that no one saw coming.
She went on to make a name for herself as a TV presenter. She has hosted segments on This Morning and fronted the BBC’s show Glow Up Ireland.
But Maura has previously insisted that people misjudge her.
She said: “When I meet people out, they always say, ‘You’re so much nicer than I expected.’”
