Maura Higgins splurges thousands on designer gifts for entourage after RTE show

Maura Higgins has splurged on designer gifts worth thousands to thank her entourage for their work on her new RTE show.

The Longford born Love Island star has been in Ireland for the past few weeks filming her new RTE TV show, Glow Up Ireland.

But as filming wrapped and her UK based glam squad returned home after the long shoot in Dublin, the star pulled out all the stops to showcase her gratitude for their work on her new project.

Makeup Artist Suzy Clarke revealed the model gifted her a quilted YSL bag, worth around €1,750.

Posting a picture of her present, she said: “Back from an amazing few weeks to this surprise. Thank you so much Maura Higgins. Miss you already.”

Celebrity hairstylist Carl Bembridge hailed the Irish star for her kindness as he unveiled his own gift, a Prado shoulder bag with the price tag of € 1,150.

He said: “Wow. After an amazing few weeks in Ireland I come back to this. Thank you so much. So kind, love you.”

Meanwhile, she gifted one of her PR team, Jacey Lillie White a Balenciaga hourglass tote bag, costing €1,650.

She said: “You deserve it babes”.

After a busy few weeks filming the new makeup series, the Ballymahon born star is back at home with her loved ones.

After taking some time to unwind at the weekend, she posted a snap with her niece from bed on Monday morning saying: “Morning cuddles with my favourite girl’.

Maura’s new TV project with RTE will see ten of the country’s best amateur MUAs challenged in a range of assignments where they will show off their technical know-how, skill, artistry and imagination.

Set to air this autumn, the show will see the contestants tasked with creating make-up transformations – all taking place in a dedicated studio space Glow Up HQ.
