Irish Love Island star Maura Higgins' sister opens up about her 'mad to party' sibling

Irish Love Island star Maura Higgins is the "exact same" in real life as she is on TV, her sister has insisted.

The popular contestant has been a hit since joining the reality show over two weeks ago.

The straight-talking Longford woman has had fellow islanders and viewers in stitches with her flirty antics and often vulgar language.

And her sister Becki said there is no "falseness" to her "mad to party" sister Maura.

She said: "There's no falseness about her. She's mad to party, she says everything as it is.

"Everything is basically the same as the way I see her on that telly.

"I don't see her putting on anything different."

She was speaking to host Caroline Flack on Sunday's Love Island Aftersun.

Becki was joined by Maura's best friend Caroline, who told how Maura goes for craic over looks.

After failed romances with Tommy Fury and Tom Walker, the 28-year-old model has been snogging new islander Dennon Lewis in Casa Amor, but Caroline isn't getting carried away just yet.

She said: "Yeah, I think he's nice but it's still very early days.

"We haven't really seen too much of him like."

She added: "Maura doesn't really have a type.

"She just goes on personality and banter stuff like that. It's hard to tell."

Love Island airs Sunday to Friday at 9pm on Virgin Media Two.
