Ah, Maura Higgins! The queen of quick-witted quips and head-turning hair flips, who rocketed into our lives like a firework at a wedding. After strutting her stuff on Love Island in 2019, she’s become a household name and is currently unleashing her charm in the whirlwind jungle of I’m A Celeb 2024. Seriously, if you don’t know Maura yet, where have you been? Recovering from a bad haircut?
This beauty from Longford has been dishing out killer one-liners and cutthroat comebacks since day one. If social media were a battlefield, she’d be the general. But rumor has it, there are some surprising things about her that might just make you go, “Wait, what?!” Grab your popcorn; it’s time for some scandalous revelations about our beloved Maura.
Engaged Before Fame
Surprise, surprise! Maura was engaged to her first boyfriend, James Finnegan, before she graced our screens. They were like peas in a pod for nine years – had all the makings of a fairy tale, without the happily ever after. In a classic twist, Maura confessed she knew full well her “yes” to the ring wasn’t leading to the altar. But hey, she was young; maybe she thought “I’ll just say yes and deal with the heartache later?”
One Direction’s Not-So-Secret Weapon
In case you didn’t know, Maura had a brush with boyband royalty! She starred in Liam Payne and Zedd’s music video for “Get Low.” Cue all the fangirls fainting and backflipping! I mean, who wouldn’t want to moonwalk with the world’s most famous heartbreakers? But let’s be honest, watching that video is probably the only way you’d want to “get low” with a One Direction member…and still be safe!
Phobias Galore
Before swapping the luxe life for jungle living, Maura opened up about her phobias covering ‘everything’ under the sun. But the kicker? Sleeping outside terrifies her. Call the producers because we need a tent with a five-star review from Maura before she steps out into that wilderness! That’s right, folks, she’s more of a “swipe right on glamping” kind of gal.
Candid Confessions
Post-Love Island, Maura spread her wisdom as an Agony Aunt on This Morning. Who wouldn’t want relationship advice from someone who’s done the online dating scene? She tells it like it is, and if you’ve got relationship woes, you better be ready for some brutally honest truths packaged with a side of sass. “Just don’t settle and for goodness sake, don’t pick the wrong contenders!”
A Hidden Talent
Hold onto your hats, people! Maura is an ace hairdresser and spent a decade mastering those shears before stepping into the limelight. Imagine the party you could throw — “It’s a hair-raising experience!” (Pun intended.) But let’s be real, her calling as a reality TV star shines a bit brighter than a perfect bob cut.
Family Drama (Or Lack Thereof)
Maura skipped her sister’s wedding to bask in the Mediterranean sun on Love Island. But don’t worry; her sister gave her the all-clear. “Go on, love! Grab fame like it’s an extra dessert!” It’s all in the family — no bad blood, just a very spicy family dynamic! But if you thought wedding regrets were intense, try watching your sister say “I do” while you’re lounging in a villa. There’s loyalty, and then there’s loyalty with a side of sunbathing!
School of Hard Knocks
And finally, let’s talk about the academic route. She dropped out of secondary school at 16 and missed her Leaving Cert. But guess what? That didn’t stop her from becoming a celebrity sensation. If school was an Olympic sport, Maura would have thrown it all in the air and gone for gold in the reality TV league instead!
Maura Higgins constantly proves that life is full of surprises, one dazzling hairstyle at a time. Whether you’re following her antics in the I’m A Celeb jungle or looking back at her Love Island days, this gal knows how to keep it entertaining. Cheers to Maura! May your battles be few, your phobias manageable, and your hairstyling always on point!

There you have it! A rib-tickling rundown of Maura Higgins with all the cheekiness and charm you’d expect from a combo of the comedic greats. Enjoy!
Maura was engaged before Love Island
Maura’s an ex-fiancée as she was engaged to her first-ever boyfriend James Finnegan. Speaking on the We Need to Talk podcast with Paul C. Brunson, Maura revealed she and James first got together when she was 17 years old, moving out of her family’s home to live with him in their small Longford town.
The former couple were together for nine years, with James popping the question just a year before they ended their relationship. Reflecting on the engagement, Maura candidly shared that she knew when she accepted his proposal that she wasn’t truly committed to marrying him.
‘It shouldn’t have happened, but it just did,’ she admitted. ‘For some reason, in our heads we thought “[the engagement] will fix everything.” It’s not going to fix anything. What’s a ring gonna do?’
‘I fell out of love,’ she confessed, explaining that she had contemplated their split for a considerable time before finally making the difficult decision. She felt torn about breaking his heart but recognized that prioritizing her own happiness was necessary.
Her unusual One Direction connection
Maura has a surprising One Direction connection, having featured in a music video for Liam Payne and Zedd’s hit track, “Get Low.”
Her biggest fear
Prior to entering the Australian jungle for I’m A Celeb 2024, Maura shared that her phobias cover a vast range of fears, expressing her anxiety about sleeping outdoors. She confessed, ‘I have never slept outside before. I am an indoor girl.’
She’s a straight talker
After her appearance on Love Island, Maura joined the This Morning team as an Agony Aunt, where her candid and straightforward approach to life resonated with viewers. She became a trusted figure as she helped people navigate their relationship woes.
Maura’s missed calling
Maura always has her trusty right-hand man, celebrity hairstylist Carl Bembridge, by her side. Interestingly, she is actually trained as a hairdresser and worked in that career for a solid ten years before stepping into the limelight.
Not the best woman
Maura sacrificed attending her sister’s wedding in favor of a stint on Love Island. While Maura was featured on the show, her sister Louise was getting married at a private ceremony at Abbeyshrule Church in July 2019. Thankfully, there was no animosity between the sisters, as locals confirmed that Louise had given her sister the blessing to be absent from the ceremony.
Secondary school dropout
Maura dropped out of secondary school when she was just 16 years old and never sat the Leaving Cert. Despite this, she has carved out an incredibly successful career in the public eye.
