Maura Higgins Dazzles on Dancing With The Stars US Debut: A New Chapter in America
Maura Higgins has officially made her mark on American television. The former Love Island star, 35, took to the dance floor for the first time on Wednesday night alongside professional partner Mark Ballas, 40, on Dancing With The Stars. The duo performed a Foxtrot to Alannah Myles’ ‘Black Velvet,’ and their performance left a lasting impression on both the judges and the audience. This debut comes shortly after Higgins and Ballas appeared together on this year’s series of The Traitors US, further solidifying her presence in the US entertainment scene.
For Irish fans eager to support Higgins, the question of how to watch the show from Ireland has been a hot topic. While Dancing With The Stars airs on ABC in the United States, international viewers may need to explore streaming options or VPN services to catch the action. Higgins’ participation has generated significant buzz, especially given her background as a Love Island alum and her growing popularity across the pond.
Beyond the glitz and glamour of the dance floor, Higgins is also set for a substantial payday. Reports indicate that she stands to earn €108,000 even if she is eliminated within the first two weeks. Should she advance to the later stages of the competition, her earnings could skyrocket to a staggering €325,000. This financial windfall underscores her rising profile and the high stakes of the competition.
In a strategic move for her career, Higgins recently signed with the prestigious Creative Artist Agency (CAA), whose client roster includes global superstars like Lady Gaga. This partnership signals her intent to establish a lasting presence in the US entertainment industry. With her dance debut, reality TV appearances, and a major agency backing her, Maura Higgins is clearly positioning herself as a transatlantic star to watch. As the competition heats up, all eyes will be on whether she can dance her way to the top and secure that impressive payday.
