Former Love Island star Maura Higgins previously co-hosted Aftersun in the United States, but she won’t be back for another year.
On Love Island USA, Maura Higgins has been replaced with a brand-new host.
The Irish actress, who gained national fame on the show herself, was previously employed as the host of US Aftersun, but it has been reported that she will not be making a comeback.
Maura was also the social media host of the show as well but it’s been said that she won’t be back as a result of conflicting schedules. She will be relaced by Sophie Monk who is already familiar with how Love Island works due to being the host of the Australian version.
However, Maura hasn’t been fired and instead concentrates on other projects. Some fans believe she might return to host Aftersun for the second season of the popular Fiji film Love Island Games.
The Sun reported that a source said: “She wasn’t able to commit to hosting Aftersun this season due to other work commitments, but she will be back on screen in some capacity later in the run.” The news was shared via the Love Island Instagram account.
The caption reads “Welcome Sophie Monk to the Aftersun family” along with a photo! You guys have no idea how much I’m dying over this, said main host Ariana Madix.
Fans of the show, however, were quick to realize Maura wouldn’t be coming back. One viewer remarked, “Oh no! What occurred”? !
But another then said she is taking part in the next series of The Traitors instead, writing: “She’s going to be on traitors. She’s back for love island games.”
This comes after Maura was accused of kissing McFly star Danny Jones at the BRIT Awards. After a party at the five-star Nobu Hotel in London, the couple were captured kissing at an afterparty.
Danny went on to address the situation in a grovelling apology shared on social media when his wife temporarily moved out of the family home to spend time with her friends and “get away”. In a statement, the singer said: “Hello everyone, sorry it’s taken me a while to post this but I’ve taken some time out to be with those closest to me.
My wife and family have been in this situation, so I sincerely apologize. We’ll continue to deal with this in private because I adore them so much. I appreciate you all’s patience, understanding, and support. Danny, I’ll see you soon.
The Mirror have contacted Maura’s reps for comment.
