Love Island's Maura Higgins lands reality TV show but Curtis is not required

Maura Higgins is set to land her own reality show after she impressed TV bosses during her time on Love Island.

The outgoing personality and fiery humour of the 28-year-old former race grid girl could become one of the breakout stars from the villa but she will have to do it without her Love Island partner Curtis Pritchard.

While Curtis has been courted by the BBC and been named as the receptionist for the next series of The Greatest Dancer, Maura is set to join ITV's list of huge stars.

ITV bosses have turned their back on doing spin-off shows with couples this time, after they have been hit by them splitting up before filming could finish.

After Maura's confident start on This Morning as a agony aunt, there are plans to up the ante and challenge the Irish star to take on a number of acitvities.

The Sun has reported that there are plans for Maura to tick off a number of items from a 'turning-30 bucket list'.

This will see her take on everything from an adrenaline fuelled bungee-jump to getting hands-on at the potters' wheel.

A source told The Sun that Maura is "great on screen so bosses want to create a platform where viewers can still get their fix."

Producers are "focusing on Maura" as "no-one really know what the future holds" for her relationship with Curtis.

It is thought that Maura has "ratings-winner potential," and ITV are "ironing out details at the moment."

Maura is no doubt having 'f**** flutters' at the thought of the prospect of her own show.
