‘That was not my dream’ — Maura Higgins, 34, finally fulfils her life-long ambition as she swaps her humble home for a £1.25M Essex mansion after breaking America with major TV roles and amassing a £3.2M fortune - suong
Maura Higgins has finally fulfilled her life-long 'dream' as she was seen moving out of her humble home into her plush £1.25million mansion in Essex on Thursday.
The Irish star, 34, always dreamed of making big time - and thanks to Love Island - she has amassed an estimated £3.2million after breaking America with huge TV roles.
Maura has taken the showbiz world by storm, presenting Love Island USA, starring in I'm A Celebrity and her latest upcoming gig in The Traitors US.
She always knew she wasn't destined to stay in rural Ireland, marry her teenage boyfriend and open up a hair salon.
'But that's not what I wanted. That was not my dream. That was my father's and boyfriend's dream. I wanted to do more,' Maura defiantly declared.
The girl from remote County Longford splashed her hard-earned cash on a five-bedroom semi-detached house, MailOnline revealed earlier this year.

Maura has been sharing glimpses of her new abode after finally moving in last month.
She posted a picture of stunning black French doors looking on to a garden, with a huge bouquet of glowers in a vase, Ferrari sparkling wine and a Diptyque candle.
'After the busiest few months.... she's finally in,' the former Love Island star captioned the snap.
Sharing another snap of the kitchen featuring her pal, celebrity hairdresser Carl Bembridge, she wrote: 'No chairs yet but he always finds something to sit on.'
Her riches have allowed the presenter to upgrade from her previous one-bedroom property in Essex to one with an en-suite master bedroom with four further rooms.
Overjoyed, Maura shared to her Instagram followers a picture of her new kitchen with a chandelier and grey floors, which she bought in October, with the caption 'Bought my dream house'.
An expansive kitchen, with an island, leads out past the dining area, out bi-folding doors to a large walled garden with a neat lawn.
Maura's previous home was raided by three-masked men and so the Love Island star has ensured her new home was in a gated development which provides privacy and security.

After first sharing the news of her new home in October, Maura had barely gotten the keys to her new house when she entered the jungle in November for a four-week stint in Australia.
Maura entered the Love Island villa in 2019 and after almost six years in the spotlight with lucrative brand deals, she has amassed a fortune of an estimated £3.2million.
Maura recently shared how she escaped working in a hair salon in Ireland to become a ring girl for the brand Monster against the wishes of her then-boyfriend and dad.
The influencer said: 'I wanted to do more and travel the world. I'm young, why not?'
Her time with Monster caught the eye of ITV recruiters for Love Island, who approached Maura multiple times before she finally accepted as revenge against her boyfriend, which has now landed her a multi-million-pound fortune.
Her big home purchase came after she treated herself to a new £60,000 Porsche just before heading into the I'm A Celebrity jungle in November.
Maura became the proud owner of a Porsche Macan, which typically ranges in price from £60,000 to £98,00.
Sharing a photo from inside her new car, she showed off its luxurious all-white leather interior.
Maura captioned the post: 'My baby has arrived finally,' along with a white heart emoji.
