Irish Love Island star Maura Higgins 'set for huge TV roles' when she leaves villa

Irish Love Island star Maura Higgins is being lined up for some huge roles when she exits the villa, it has been reported.

The Longford beauty is apparently being looked at for a number of big presenting jobs on ITV after causing a stir on this year's show.

An ITV source told Extra.ie: "Maura has literally moved the dial when it comes to Love Island numbers in England and Ireland.

"She has done everything, she has gone viral, and she has been brought up by charities as a poster girl for the modern woman.

"Even Piers Morgan has been giving out about her so you know that she is doing something right.

"ITV will be screen testing her when she gets out of the villa that is for sure and who knows what could happen."

Maura could even replace Jeremy Kyle in his infamous daytime TV show, but her strong Irish accent could unsettle UK audiences.

The source added: "There is a vacant slot where the Jeremy Kyle show goes, if she plays her cards right she could land that.

"It is more than likely however though that she would be looked at for I’m A Celebrity and Dancing on Ice.

"Her accent may be her big hurdle for a major presenting gig but she it is definitely only the star if things for her."
