It's been an incredible first half of the year for Maura, who has sent her US take over soaring to even greater heights, with the announcement that she's joined the lineup for Dancing With The Stars.
Sources have claimed the Love Island star could be in line for a £5 million payday thanks to new deals with bosses.
It was confirmed last month that Maura will appear on the 35th season of the hit show, which is the US version of Strictly Come Dancing, and she was the first star unveiled for this autumn's lineup.
The star had previously shared her interest in appearing on Dancing With The Stars, during her well-publicised stint on the US version of The Traitors.
Meanwhile, beauty brands are also said to be keen to snap up the star, whilst insiders claim a fly-on-the-wall series documenting her rise in America could be the obvious next step, with the star reportedly already in talks with TV bosses.
However, it's not just reality TV and beauty brands on her radar. The star is also said to be in talks with Disney after making her acting debut in the film The Spin.
