Maura Higgins to join Ryan Tubridy on The Late Late Show next week

Boil the kettle.

Love Island's Maura Higgins has been confirmed to join Ryan Tubridy on the couch for the new season of The Late Late Show when it returns next week. Maura will feature on the first episode this September alongside Sinead O'Connor and Aisling Bea. The Longford lady rose to fame during this year's Love Island. She was praised for her no filter attitude and friendships with fellow Islanders. Maura also left the villa in fourth place, coupling up with Curtis Pritchard. It is rumoured that in recent days the pair are no longer an item however, neither of them have confirmed or denied this rumour. Speaking about next week's lineup as he returns to host the show for the 11th year, Ryan said:

“It took an Irish woman from Longford to change it all [Love Island]. "She goes on and suddenly the show comes alive. And not even just that it was also won by an Irish man.”

We'll for sure be watching The Late Late when all returns on September 6 - here's hoping it's juicy.
