Maura Higgins Reveals What to Expect from Season 4 of The Traitors
Maura Higgins, widely recognized as the host of “Love Island: Aftersun,” is now sharing intriguing insights about the forthcoming season of “The Traitors.” The 34-year-old model and presenter has provided NBC Insider with some teasers about Season 4, which has already been filmed and is slated to air in 2026. Joining Higgins in this all-star lineup are Bravo Real Housewives’ Candiace Dillard Bassett and Dorinda Medley, Donna Kelce, the mother of NFL star Travis Kelce, and Rob Rausch from “Love Island USA” Season 5.
Maura Higgins Discusses the Demanding Nature of The Traitors
Higgins, who has ample experience from her participation in “Love Island UK” Season 5 and her hosting duties for “Love Island: Aftersun,” shared that her stint on “The Traitors” has been particularly noteworthy. “While ‘Love Island’ had its challenges with relationships and constant filming, ‘The Traitors’ was more demanding,” she stated. According to Higgins, the show required intense strategizing, resulting in many sleepless nights. Unlike “Love Island,” where forming and maintaining relationships is key, “The Traitors” demands complex scheming to survive.
Mental Exhaustion and Thrill: Inside the Game
Higgins further elaborated on the mental challenge, saying, “It’s mentally exhausting and thrilling at the same time because you’re second-guessing everything and everyone, questioning loyalties, and trying to stay one step ahead.” The suspense and strategic pressure of “The Traitors” created a unique and challenging experience, keeping her constantly on edge.
Choosing Between Love Island and The Traitors
When asked about her preference between “Love Island” and “The Traitors,” Higgins expressed that she holds both experiences in high regard. “I don’t prefer one to the other,” she said, noting that her TV journey started with “Love Island,” which came with its own pressures and challenges. She saw “The Traitors” as an opportunity to push herself in a new environment.
Filming Locations: Fiji vs. Scotland
Inevitably, the discussion turned to filming locations, with Higgins offering a lighthearted opinion on the climates. Known for its sun-soaked beaches, Fiji was a stark contrast to the old castles of Scotland. Higgins quipped, “If you’re asking me which climate I prefer — not Scotland!”
