Maura Higgins’ mum Sharon is set to become a star in her own right, as the Longford woman has just landed a television gig as an agony aunt.
Sharon Higgins will be dishing out life advice to the young people of Ireland in the new, aptly-titled RTE show, “Agony OAP’s”.
“We have a panel who have been through all sorts. I’m straight up and down the middle,” Sharon told 2FM.
“Maybe sometimes I can be brutally honest. It’s probably a Sagittarius thing, I don’t know. Myself and Maura, we think alike – we just say it as it is.”
After leaving the Love Island villa this summer, her daughter scored a similar role on ITV’s This Morning offering words of wisdom to viewers across the UK.
Anyone who has a pressing concern for Sharon to address can email their problem to agonyoaps@gmail.com.
