Maura Higgins oozes confidence as she joins The Traitors US season 4 line-up
She's taking part in the upcoming American version of the show
Maura Higgins has stormed into the new season of The Traitors US – and she’s wasted no time making her mark.
The Love Island favourite kicked off her debut with a playful but pointed warning to her fellow contestants, leaving fans certain she’s about to bring the drama.
Maura was confirmed earlier this year as part of the star-studded line-up for the show’s fourth season on Peacock. Filmed in a remote Scottish castle, the hit reality competition pits celebrities against one another in a game of trust, deception and sabotage.
Joining Maura are Real Housewives icons Lisa Rinna and Caroline Stanbury, setting the stage for what’s shaping up to be the most explosive season yet.
Maura Higgins appears in trailer for The Traitors US
In the dramatic new trailer, Maura Higgins turned heads in a high-neck, black PVC one-piece with cape detailing, her hair slicked into a bun and her makeup immaculately done.
“If someone comes for me at the roundtable, God love them,” she warned in the short clip.
The series is hosted by Scottish actor Alan Cumming. It is set to stream on BBC iPlayer in the New Year, with an official release date still to be announced.
Cumming has promised the most chaotic season yet, and fans think Maura might be the reason why.
Speculation is already swirling that she may go all the way, with online sleuths pointing to her recent career move: signing with Hollywood powerhouse Creative Artists Agency (CAA), home to A-listers such as Brad Pitt, Lady Gaga and Meryl Streep.
“Absolutely massive agency,” one fan noted online. “Maybe some advance planning for when The Traitors airs.” Another added: “Wow, good for her. I wonder if it means she plays a major role in the new season.”
One theory even went as far as saying: “I reckon it’s because she wins the show.”
‘It’s utter carnage’
Maura has already hinted that viewers are in for a wild ride, teasing the upcoming season’s drama during an interview with The Playlist.
“There is chaos, and it’s brutal,” she said. “About halfway through, there’s a scene that is the greatest moment in Traitors’ history. It’s utter carnage and just mad.”
Despite being tight-lipped on details, she promised fans it would be a “very good season.”
Earlier this year, though, the reality star found herself making headlines for a very different reason. Footage surfaced from a BRITs afterparty showing her I’m A Celebrity campmate, McFly’s Danny Jones, appearing to kiss her.
The clip quickly went viral, sparking a media frenzy and prompting Danny to issue a public apology to his wife, Georgia Horsley, and their son, Cooper. Maura, however, has chosen to remain silent about the incident – and it seems she’s now letting her next TV move do all the talking.
