Ballymahon’s Maura Higgins has claimed the runner-up spot in a dramatic and gripping finale of The Traitors US, which saw her go head-to-head with rumoured love-interest and fellow Love Island alumnus, Rob Rausch.

The bombshell twist for Maura however came at the roundtable when she realised her friend had been a traitor from the start, with Rob announcing, “I am and I always have been a Traitor. I am so sorry, I am a Traitor. I’m serious.”

Maura, who remained in a stunned silence, subsequently called her co-star an a*****e for his betrayal but has since revealed Rob’s admission that he felt bad over how it all played out in the end.

In true Maura style, the Ballymahon star duly informed him that his request for forgiveness could present itself in the form of a Birkin handbag. 

Since The Traitors finale, Longford's TV star was photographed at Milan Fashion Week where she stepped out at shows for Roberto Cavalli and Moschino.

At the Cavalli show, Maura appeared before the cameras with her normally-jet-black hair somewhat lighter, however when she turned up at the Moschino show a day later, her tresses were a stunning beachy blonde in colour. 

Since basing herself primarily in the US, Maura can do no wrong stateside and has been going from strength to strength.

During her time on The Traitors US, she struck up a friendship with former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, Lisa Rinna, who recently declared in an interview with Page Six that Maura had been the "break out star" of the show and was also one of the driving forces responsible for this season's success.   

With big things ahead for Maura, including a brand deal with iconic Victoria's Secret, and talks with Charlotte Tilbury, the starlet certainly looks set to remain stateside for the foreseeable.
