Sources had previously claimed that Maura, who rose to fame on Love Island in 2019, has made quite a name for herself in the United States, with an assortment of American shows and brands keen to work with her following her appearance on the US version of The Traitors.
A source told The Sun: ‘Maura may have missed out on the cash prize on The Traitors but that’s small change compared to what’s coming her way.
‘Shows and brands in the US are lining up for a piece of Maura and she’s got more opportunities than time right now. It’s an exciting place to be.’

Another source said: ‘She’s in talks to become the face of one of the biggest cosmetic brands in the US in a deal that will be at least seven-figures.’

However, it’s not just reality TV and beauty brands on her radar. The star is also said to be in talks with Disney after making her acting debut in the film The Spin.
After mostly focusing on influencer and fashion work for the first few years after Love Island, in 2023, Maura jumped the Atlantic and became a social media presenter and guest hosted a challenge for Season 5 of Love Island USA.
In October of the same year, she was made a social media presenter for Love Island Games. And in 2024, she became the host of Love Island: Aftersun. She also took part in Dancing On Ice in 2020.
This properly kickstarted her TV career after racking in the cash with clothing and makeup deals after leaving the villa.
The star also signed with public relations agency, Align, which specialises in growing careers in the US, last year.
Maura also recently revealed that she has signed with a major US talent agency, Creative Artist Agency, whose glittering list of clients includes big names like Lady Gaga.
Her work in the US appears culminated with her bagging an invite to the prestigious Golden Globes in LA, where she mixed with the likes of Jennifer Lawrence, Leonardo DiCaprio and Emma Stone.
