Maura Higgins is one iconic woman.
However, she recently admitted she’s her “own worst critic” following her Love Island Aftersun debut in the US.
Yes, the former Love Island star recently landed her biggest TV gig yet as the host of the US version of the reality dating series talk show.
Taking to Instagram after her debut, Maura revealed she was “a nervous wreck” ahead of the series airing – mainly due to wanting to make everyone proud.

“I was a nervous wreck watching it back. Me and Carl were sat there, like ‘You need to feel my chest’. My heart was literally thumping and I’m not a nervous person,” she explained.
“It was a success and I’m so happy with how it turned out and everyone was really, really happy.
“Producers were happy; execs were happy which makes me happy and I’m very happy because I am literally my worst critic,” she added.
Maura went on to explain that although she knew about her new role on the show for quite some time, she still had no idea what to expect.
“But it went better… it’s crazy you’re literally there trying to hold the whole show for an hour, it’s mental and intense and fun and exciting and scary. It’s every single emotion under the sun.”
Maura is certainly no stranger to the Love Island world having originally joined the UK show as a bombshell contestant back in Season 5.
Ah, it’s good to have her back!
