Maura Higgins to return for Love Island USA: Aftersun
Maura Higgins has signed a huge new TV deal.
The former 'Love Island' star is set to return for a new series of 'Love Island USA: Aftersun' after she impressed show bosses in the US last year.
A source told The Sun: 'Maura's signed on for a new series of Love Island USA - she was so popular after the last season it was clear bosses would sign her up.
"They don't care about any personal life drama she has in the UK - she's been a huge hit with US audiences."
Maura took part in the fifth series of 'Love Island' and finished fourth with Curtis Pritchard.
She went on to work as the social media presenter for 'Love Island USA' and 'Love Island Games' in 2023.
Last year, she presented 'Love Island USA: Aftersun' and was so popular with audiences, her contract has been renewed for this year.
Meanwhile, Maura, 34, previously admitted she was 'shaking with nerves' before presenting 'Aftersun' for the first time.
She told The Mirror: 'I was shattered. I think just all the emotions ... first 'Aftersun' is done, which I am so, so happy about.
"I was a nervous wreck watching it back. My heart was literally thumping and I'm not a nervous person.
"I don't really get nervous. My hands were going… I just wanted to do everyone proud.
"It was a success, and I am so happy with how it turned out. Everyone was really happy.
'Producers were happy, execs were happy, which makes me happy and most importantly, I am very happy because I am my own worst critic. I think we all are at times.
"But yeah, first one done. It's so crazy, I've known I was going to do this role for quite a few months and it's weird like, you kind of think you know what to expect but it's nothing like what you're expecting.
"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.'

People can't stop talking about Huda on 'Love Island.' Will we ever learn our lesson?
You'll usually find Ariana Madix delivering cheeky one-liners and iconic clapbacks as the host of 'Love Island USA,' but she has a more serious message for viewers who are taking their criticism of Season 7 too far. 'I do want to say something to some of those people who are online,' Madix said during the June 21 episode of 'Aftersun,' the aftershow of the dating program. 'Don't be going on islanders' pages and saying rude things." She encouraged fans to delete negative posts, as the show's cast remains secluded during production. "You still have time to delete all of that because the islanders don't have their phones.' The last few episodes of "Love Island USA" Season 7 have brought viewers a Megan Thee Stallion appearance, new connections, and another shocking dumping. But at the crux of it all has been a slew of online bullying from viewers, with Huda, a 24-year-old mom from Raleigh, North Carolina, taking the brunt of it. In episode 7, viewers voted to split up her couple with Jeremiah and pair him with bombshell Iris, following criticism that their budding relationship was toxic. The backlash toward Huda and other cast members, such as Casa Amor's Vanna, has been widespread, and mental health experts and viewers alike caution that online harassment can have severe consequences. Multiple contestants have died by suicide after starring in the 'Love Island' franchise, including Sophie Gradon and Mike Thalassitis, and presenter Caroline Flack. Though suicide experts explain suicide can rarely be attributed to a single factor, some involved with the show have grappled with relentless media coverage and online harassment. After Flack's death, many people called for the show to be canceled. On June 24, the show issued a statement that appeared on-screen ahead of the episode: 'The keyword in Love Island is… love. We love our fans. We love our islanders. We don't love cyberbullying, harassment or hate.' Friendly reminder to our #LoveIslandUSA family. ♥️ Some viewers are rejecting the 'Huda hate train' While hate comments pour in, some viewers have come to the islanders' defense. 'Dude I cry for Huda. I get why some people don't like her but the sick memes of her daughter broke me. The internet is cruel always, but the people that make those thinking it's funny is the problem,' one user commented on TikTok. Vanna, a 21-year-old from Salt Lake City, Utah, has also received harsh criticism, with viewers speculating that she has undergone cosmetic procedures, including lip and chin fillers. Some are calling this criticism what it is — bullying. 'It hasn't even been 24 hours and Vanna's comments have been limited, y'all are BULLIES,' one user posted. Reality TV can draw especially harsh reactions Because reality TV is meant to be authentic and unfiltered, 'it's much easier for people who watch it regularly to connect with these characters and start to invest in them,' explains media psychologist Pamela Rutledge. This can also lead viewers to form parasocial relationships with contestants, which, according to Elizabeth Perse, a professor emeritus of communication at the University of Delaware, is the 'illusion of friendship" with a public persona. Once contestants return home, this attention can be overwhelming, especially when it turns hostile, says trauma and relationship therapist Jordan Pickell. 'Even though contestants don't know the commenters on social media personally, the relentless and pointed attacks can feel very personal,' Pickell says. 'Human brains aren't equipped to distinguish between real-life risks to safety and online attacks.' From 'The Bachelor' to 'Love Island': What happens when your ex is everywhere The intense filming environment can stir up old traumas On shows like 'Love Island USA,' contestants are thrown into artificial high-stakes environments and completely cut off from the outside world, including their support systems. 'These are real people, many of whom likely carry their own trauma histories, now navigating an intense and highly controlled environment for other people's entertainment," Pickell explains. When viewers broke up Jeremiah and Huda, Huda sobbed, asking, 'Does America hate me?' It seems she's this season's villain. But being portrayed as the villain on a reality TV show can cause someone to act out in ways they wouldn't in their normal life. 'They can lose touch with their own values and sense of identity in order to perform their role for the cameras,' Pickell says. Once contestants return home, they're forced to integrate their persona from the show into their reality, while also navigating an influx of online attention. 'Contestants may have signed up for the show, but they didn't sign up for the trauma and harassment that can follow them home,' Pickell says. Contributing: Erin Jensen, Elise Brisco

‘Love Island USA': Would Jeremiah Ever Get Back Together With Huda?
Bad news to all the fans of Peacock's Love Island USA who were hoping for a sneaky Jeremiah return: He hasn't just left the villa, he has officially left Fiji. The silver lining? He's giving interviews. And in a recent podcast appearance, Jeremiah revealed whether or not he'd ever get back together with Huda after their dramatic Love Island USA run. 'Respectfully, no,' he told E! News when asked about a potential future with Huda outside the villa. 'She's awesome and I wish her the best, but respectfully, to for me in the friendship or past that. So no, I'm good.' Sorry, Huda, sounds like Jeremiah is pretty decided. But, really, do we think this will come as a shock? Jeremiah and Huda coupled up basically right away when they entered the villa—they had what Jeremiah described in an interview with The Viall Files with Nick Viall as 'crazy electricity'—and quickly became one of the most controversial couples of the season. Things got serious very quickly, but in the end, Huda's jealousy and Jeremiah's reluctance to commit proved to be a pretty terrible combo. A tense breakup killed the good vibes in the villa, and eventually the boys decided to send Jeremiah home after a fan vote landed him on the chopping block. Reflecting on their whirlwind, drama-filled romance, Jeremiah told Nick Viall that he and Huda 'got really intimate really soon,' which he now thinks 'set us up for failure.' He went onto explain that their relationship was actually 'amazing until the pancake day' (when Huda got upset because Jeremiah didn't help her make pancakes after he delivered her breakfast severely undercooked). Looking back, he takes responsibility for trying to meet her expectations in the relationship, even though he was still exploring the connection and not ready to commit. 'I tried to be Superman instead of letting her know, like, that's not who I am. That takes me months to get there,' he said. Jeremiah refused to talk bad about Huda, but he did suggest that she got a fair edit, adding, 'There were a lot of instances where we were just talking and she would, you know, crash out,' he explained. 'It was pretty accurate.' Though he hasn't watched the season closely, he has caught up on key moments, and he wasn't always happy with what he saw. 'There's some moments I'm watching myself, and I'm just like, 'Bro, get up, like, don't take that.''

Can We Stop Bringing Up Everyone On Love Island's Acne?
'His acne is his karma,' writes a Redditor about Nicolas Vansteenberghe, a contestant on season 7 of Peacock's Love Island USA. 'The whole time I was looking at that fuck ass pimple and just laughing at it,' another chimes in. On another thread, someone noted islander Taylor Williams was wearing a slew of pimple patches on his face. 'Lend one to your bro,' they said, referencing Nic's breakout. (And when he finally does stick on a pimple patch, people pointed that out too.) On TikTok, Facetune's editing out Nic's pimple with the caption, 'the nerve he had to dump Bella-A with this bombshell on his face…' People shared a gazillion videos highlighting islander Austin Shepard's breakouts. 'Anyone else wish they could pop these, or am I insane?' one person wrote. 'Nasty pimples,' another added. The presence of acne makes sense to me. The humid climate in Fiji, new products, sharing a bed with someone new, constant face-to-face action, heightened stress—all of the above are the perfect recipe for breakouts. But what doesn't make sense is why someone's zits are such a cause for ridicule and speculation at our big ages? It's uncharted territory seeing acne on TV when it's not a plot point. There aren't really any other reality shows without producer intervention (dabbing on some concealer or powder whenever a contestant has a zit or a lil excess shine). Over the years, we've gotten a few episodes of Summer House that showcased a few breakouts on Paige DeSorbo and Amanda Batula—both of which resulted in partnerships with acne-friendly skincare brand Face Reality. But on Love Is Blind, The Bachelor, The Ultimatum, Temptation Island, Are You The One—I've never seen a contestant with an angry zit on their face. Love Island is really in a league of its own, showing us very real and up-close shots of people without professionals glamming them up. Throwback to Ronnie Vint on the U.K. version last summer after he'd washed the Toppik fibers out of his scalp before bed, unveiling a hairline that was much farther back than we'd seen earlier in the episode. And even when the islanders do have makeup on, it's all done by themselves. We see women meticulously apply a face every morning that's intended to look "light and natural," before spending all day in the sun, followed by another full-beat routine before nighttime in the villa. Before bed, we watch our islanders indulge in their skincare routines: removing their makeup with cleansing wipes, shaving in the mirror, combing a spoolie through their eyelash extensions, and wrapping their hair up in a silk bonnet. I love seeing those moments because it's a reminder that these are all real people who've signed up to have their lives and emotions broadcast in 4K. Look, I get it: When you sign up for reality TV fame and the potential to win $100,000, you put yourself at risk for audience commentary. The contestants on season 7 are getting that criticism far more than any other season of the USA franchise, and even more than I've noticed in U.K. seasons past. But the incessant remarks about the islanders' skin this year prove that we still have a really narrow view of acne—one that believes it's embarrassing, something we can control, and, worst of all, makes a person gross and unattractive. It's frustrating, and something I thought, as a beauty editor with a face of acne as I'm typing this, we'd gotten past. Acne is, first and foremost, a hormonal bodily response. When your hormones fluctuate—like during puberty or on your period, or truly, at any given time, based on my personal experience—your sebaceous glands kick into overdrive, which mix with dead skin cells and bacteria and clog your pores. It's almost entirely out of your control and due to genetics. It's most definitely not a karmic response for breaking things off with a romantic interest. Sure, there are intervention tactics, like washing your face every night, exfoliating with a salicylic acid toner or serum, or seeing your dermatologist for prescription topicals and medications. However, there's no cure whatsoever, and a zit can pop up at any time—especially when you've suddenly found yourself in a love triangle in Fiji. No one's immune to breakouts. So why do we feel the need to point it out when we see one on Peacock? Maybe Nic and Austin aren't our favorite islanders, but who really cares if they've got acne on their faces? If we want to watch all the crash-outs and connections and drama, we've also gotta deal with the other very-human aspects of reality stars, including the potential zit on their face.
