Maura Higgins is continuing her rise in American television, landing yet another high-profile role just weeks after appearing on The Traitors US.
The Irish presenter, 34, has officially been confirmed as the host of the newly commissioned Aftersun series for the upcoming second season of Love Island Games. Having already impressed as the face of Aftersun for Love Island USA last year, Maura has firmly established herself as a fan favourite with U.S. audiences and producers have clearly taken notice.
According to reports, the former Love Island UK star will soon be jetting off to Fiji, where Love Island Games will begin filming next month. It comes after Maura’s defiant stance as she’s set for awkward Danny Jones run-in after their controversial BRIT Awards kiss.

An Aftersun show wasn’t included in the first Love Island Games episode because it was planned and later broadcast, according to a TV insider. However, it will be broadcast live like the main show this time.
The bosses made the decision to set up a special Aftersun, and Maura was the obvious host.
There was no guarantee that Maura would receive it because Games is a completely different show, the source continued to The Sun. She was overjoyed when her bosses approached her because it demonstrated how happy they were with her and why she is regarded as a key member of the Love Island USA family.
This new role builds on Maura’s growing success in the U.S., following her recent stint on The Traitors US, which was filmed in Scotland. There, she rubbed shoulders with American reality royalty, including Real Housewives stars Lisa Rinna and Caroline Stanbury.
Producers are undoubtedly impressed by Maura’s contribution to the expansion of the Love Island franchise in America. It’s no surprise that she’s quickly recognizable in the crowded TV industry thanks to her on-screen charm and quick wit.
According to insiders, Maura wants to work in America and sees this most recent position as a significant step toward establishing a long-term career there.
Stars from various international versions of the show are brought together under one roof at Love Island Games, where they will compete for the win in both physical and mental challenges.
While Love Island Games was previously hosted by Maya Jama, she has since stepped down. Ariana Madix, best known for Vanderpump Rules, will now take over main hosting duties, with Maura leading the spin-off.

Israel’s nearly two-year genocidal war against Gaza has resulted in more than 62, 000 Palestinian deaths, with the population facing constant bombardment with nowhere safe, starvation from Israeli-induced starvation, and daily killings of people desperately looking for food for their families.
Israel is planning to seize Gaza City, the largest urban center in the country, and forcibly send tens of thousands of people to concentration camps in the south, with more frequent strikes on the area’s largest, and now destroyed, urban center. Since Monday morning’s dawn, Israeli attacks have claimed the lives of at least 30 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, including 14 who are requesting aid.
A source with access to medical records confirmed to Al Jazeera that an Israeli attack on Gaza’s al-Sabra neighborhood resulted in the deaths of at least three Palestinians and the injuries of several others. Local Palestinian media reported that journalist Islam al-Koumi was one of the victims.
According to Tareq Abu Azzoum, an Al Jazeera correspondent from Deir el-Balah, “Israeli attacks are still ongoing, unabated, in the eastern portion of Gaza City.” The scale of the attacks demonstrates how Israel’s current strategy affects Gaza’s geography and demography.
“We can see how Israel is destroying what remains of residential buildings there with heavy artillery, fighter jets, and drones.” He claimed that the destruction’s volume was “absolutely overwhelming”.
This tactic, according to the military, allows Israel to deploy its forces on the ground and also makes neighborhoods into rubble-streaked zones. Israeli attacks are reported throughout the night and day by locals.
Many of the people who have experienced Israeli bombardment before are moving to Gaza City once more. The rest is unchanged.
Nearly 60 people died in Sunday’s air attacks in the city, and Israel is also attacking the city’s few remaining medical facilities.
Some Palestinians have told Al Jazeera that they would never be able to leave, while many who remain in the devastated city are forced to do so in the ruins of buildings, makeshift shelters, or tents.
How do I even get there, exactly? Where are you going? I don’t even have a dollar; I need nearly $900 to move. How do I go about going south? posed Bilal Abu Sitta, a Palestinian who has fled Palestine.
Others disapprove of Israeli aid and shelter promises. Noaman Hamad said, “We don’t want Israel to give us anything.” We don’t need more than that; we want them to let us go back to the homes we fled.
A lone glimmer of hope appeared as Hamas confirmed that it had approved the Qatar and Egypt mediators’ proposal for a ceasefire in Gaza yesterday. A 60-day truce, according to an informed source, would result in the release of half of the Israeli prisoners imprisoned in Gaza and an undetermined number of Palestinian prisoners imprisoned by Israel, according to an official source.
However, Palestinians in Gaza have witnessed numerous false dawns before, and after Israel’s brief ceasefire in January was shattered in March, the conflict then entered its most agonizing phase of human suffering.
According to the Gaza Health Ministry, two children have been among the five Palestinians who have died from malnutrition as a result of Israel’s months-long blockade.
At least 263 people, including 112 children, were among the known population of Gaza-bound people as of August 18, according to the ministry.
More than 320, 000 children in Gaza, or approximately half of the population under the age of five, are at risk of acute malnutrition, according to the UN’s World Food Programme (WFP).
With little to no dietary diversity, families are surviving on the bare minimum of basic foods, according to WFP. The organization demanded a swift end to the fighting to allow for the distribution of humanitarian aid.
Children in Gaza should be getting ready for the new school year, according to UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), but instead are doing so in overcrowded shelters and searching for food in queues.
UNRWA reiterated its call for an immediate ceasefire after it was revealed that children in the enclave have already lost three years of education and are “lost generations.”
Amnesty International has condemned Israel for “systematically destroying the social, economic, and health of the Palestinian people.” Amnesty International stated in a report citing displaced Palestinians and medical personnel who have treated malnourished children that “Israel is engaged in a deliberate campaign of starvation in the occupied Gaza Strip.”
Doctors Without Borders, whose name is known in French as MSF, claims that its staff in Gaza are currently seeing a rise in large-casual casualties as a result of Israel’s ongoing siege and GHF’s oversight of the constrained distribution of aid.
Nour Alsaqqa of MSF said that the indiscriminate killings and the number of mass casualties that we still witness on a daily basis have not stopped, but have only grown in size.
She claimed that children and other injured Palestinians have flooded into one MSF facility in Rafah, which is close to an aid distribution center.
“The distribution sites are causing injuries and deaths for our children.” People who have been shot, injured, and are only there for food, she said, are coming with gunshot wounds and various injuries.
They “go out of desperation and risk their lives to get aid, which Israel’s siege still leaves them without access to.”
