As a young woman in rural Ireland her future was set - stay in the town, 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 Higgins defiantly declared.

And leave Ireland she did, going on to star in two ITV reality shows, Love Island and most recently I'm A Celebrity, as well as taking on presenting duties. In her next big move, the girl from remote County Longford has now bought a £1.25million house in Essex.

MailOnline can reveal that Maura, who has amassed an estimated £3.2million fortune from her TV appearances, has splashed her hard-earned cash on a five-bedroom semi-detached house in an affluent part of the county. It comes after the Love Island US Aftersun host, 34, bought herself a £98,000 Porsche Mantra.
