A source told The Sun: ‘Maura is becoming a huge star across the pond and her slot on The Traitors is just part of that.

‘The future is bright – and has stars and stripes.’

Maura’s decision to relinquish her role reportedly came as she was unable to continue due to scheduling conflicts.

But the long-standing Love Island favourite insisted it’s not the end of her affiliation with the show.

In a video announcing her replacement would be Australian Love Island presenter Sophie Monk, Maura said: ‘Don’t get too comfy, I’m coming back.’

Having shot to stardom during series five of Love Island alongside Tommy Fury and Molly-Mae Hague, Maura first appeared on American television in 2023.

She made her return to Love Island becoming the social media presenter for Love Island USA and the Love Island Games.

Just a year later, Maura bagged the role as host of Love Island USA: Aftersun, becoming an instant hit with viewers.

Maura was also social media presenter for the US show but now Sophie Monk (pictured), who is no stranger to fans and fronts the Aussie version, will be taking her place

She returned to British television in 2024 with an appearance on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! in a move which has proved to be lucrative for the Irish star.

Following the show, Maura bagged a host of brand deals including one worth six figures with cosmetics brand L’Oreal.

Maura admitted she was ‘relieved’ to have been touted by the French business following her drunken kiss with married Danny Jones at the BRITs afterparty.
