Maura smoothly pivoted from modelling to reality-TV stardom and turned it into a full-blown media career\u2014complete with fashion deals, presenter gigs, and a personality that refuses to be ignored.<\/p>\n

Her Early Life<\/h2>\n

Maura Higgins was born on 25 November 1990 in Ballymahon, County Longford, to Sharon and Seamus Higgins, and grew up with two sisters and a brother\u2014aka a household that definitely prepared her for strong opinions and quick comebacks.\u00a0 She attended Forgney N.S. before moving on to Ballymahon Vocational School, keeping things local before branching out.\u00a0 After finishing school, Maura trained as a hairdresser in nearby Athlone and later worked at a salon back in her hometown\u2014perfecting her glam skills long before the TV cameras came calling.<\/p>\n

Modelling Career<\/h2>\n

Casual.<\/p>\n

Her pre-villa era also included a blink-and-you-missed-it appearance in the visuals for Liam Payne\u2019s hit Get Low in 2017, followed by ring-girl duties in 2019 for major boxing matches, including ones featuring Anthony Joshua.\u00a0 Clearly, Maura was everywhere.<\/p>\n
