Maura Higgins leaves UK just one week after ‘kiss with Danny Jones’
She posted a photo with two words.
Maura Higgins has made her return to social media after a week-long break and informed her 4.1 million followers she is leaving the UK on a work trip.
The former Love Island star posted on Instagram after taking some time away following her alleged ‘kiss’ with I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here co-star Danny Jones at a Brits afterparty.
On Instagram stories, Maura, 34, gave her followers a much anticipated update as to what she’s spending her time doing.
In the wake of the major talking point, the TV personality is leaving the country for an undisclosed amount of time. She did not reveal if this was planned before or after recent events but did let fans know she was heading to Los Angeles.
Sharing a photo of her plane setup this morning it was clear Maura was not sitting in economy. Instead, she is heading stateside in the comfort of a spacious booth.
For the flight, she appeared to be indulging in a glass of rosé wine which was resting on her tray. ‘Exciting shoot,’ she simply wrote alongside the image, indicating that is is a working holiday.

The pair spent the night together at the bash, with onlookers then filming them appearing to lock lips around 3am.
Soon after they left the party, each later being seen at the Sony party in Nobu Hotel where they were ‘still grinning and joking about’. It has been claimed by Daily Mail that they ‘stayed up until 6am drinking wine’.
Danny has been married for over a decade (Picture: BACKGRID)Danny, 38, has been married to Georgia Horsley for over a decade, and they share a son Cooper, five. He hasn’t yet returned to his social media platforms but has appeared on TV in a pre-recorded segment.
It’s been reported Danny and Georgia, 38, are holding ‘crisis talks’ in the aftermath but now want to ‘move past it’.
‘This saga has been embarrassing, and Danny had a lot of explaining to do,’ a source has said.
According to the insider, the couple are ‘keen to just move past it and get on with their lives’.
‘They’ve been away for a few days, and they are focused on being a family unit,’ they said while speaking to The Sun, emphasising that the married couple are ‘both committed to each other’.

Pete, who was also an attendee at the Universal afterparty, is reportedly glad they parted ways when they did.
An insider close to Pete, 36, told OK! Magazine: ‘This sort of attention is exactly what Pete doesn’t want.
‘He’s seen this sort of media circus happen when he was on Towie and it’s not the sort of relationship he wants.’
They added: ‘It’s a shame because it will probably bring his guard back up and he just wants to find someone he can genuinely love.’
