Why isn't Maura Higgins at the Love Island: A Decade of Love anniversary special? Star's absence explained
Love Island fans, tonight is the night. At 9pm this evening, a group of iconic villa alumni will reunite as part of the 10th anniversary celebrations, and we literally cannot wait. (Sidenote, how has it been a decade already? Feeling old.)
Over on ITV2, former contestants are set to look back at some of the show's biggest - and most dramatic - moments, while sharing their own hot takes on the scenes. Hey, Maya Jama did ask for big twists and more drama on the new series, which is also set to air this month, so it looks like she'll be getting what she asked for a little earlier.
Theatrics aside, exactly which ex Islanders can we expect to see this evening? And who is set to skip the big event? Because rumour has it, Maura Higgins, one of the show's biggest breakout stars, seems to have lost her invite. Which leads us to our next question... why?
First things first, we're not confirming that Maura is going to be a no-show. For all we know, she may surprise us and turn up at the hottest event of the year. After all, she does have a history of arriving late: the 34-year-old rocked up to last year's I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! a few days after everyone else, remember.
The reason we're not sure if Maura is on the bill is that we've not seen her on the list of names expected to appear. Rather, the alumni we know are returning include Cara De La Hoyde-Massey and Nathan Massey, series seven champs Millie Court and Liam Reardon, series nine winners Kai Fagan and Sanam Harrinanan, and series eight finalists Indiyah Polack and Dami Hope. Also on the lineup are Gabby Allen, Montana Brown, Dani Dyer, Georgia Steel, Hannah Elizabeth, Whitney Adebayo, Anton Danyluk, and Catherine Agbaje.
From her Instagram posts, we also know that Maura is currently soaking up the sun in Mykonos - a long way from the Majorcan villa. She's also not posted anything to the grid about the special, which could also be a hint.
But if you want our advice, we suggest tuning in tonight to find out for yourself. We know we will.
Love Island: A Decade of Love will air on ITV2 at 9pm tonight.
