Former Love Island sensation Maura Higgins has bravely shared the emotional turmoil she endured during her stint on the hit reality show The Traitors. The 33-year-old TV personality admitted she was left 'devastated' by the experience, revealing the deep sense of betrayal she felt.
'I Felt Completely Broken'
In a candid interview, Higgins didn't hold back about the psychological impact of the show's intense gameplay. 'I was genuinely heartbroken,' she confessed. 'The level of deception involved really got to me in ways I didn't expect.'
The Moment That Shattered Her
The Irish beauty described a particularly painful moment when she realised she'd been completely fooled by fellow contestants. 'When the truth came out, I just froze. It was like all the air had been sucked out of the room.'
Why She Almost Quit
Higgins revealed she seriously considered walking away from the show during filming. 'There were days I just wanted to pack my bags and go home. The mental strain was overwhelming at times.'
Unexpected Aftermath
What surprised Higgins most was how long the emotional effects lingered after filming wrapped. 'I didn't anticipate it would stay with me for weeks afterwards. That's when I knew this wasn't just another reality show.'
Despite the challenges, Higgins says she doesn't regret her decision to appear on the show. 'It taught me so much about trust and human nature. I'm stronger for having gone through it.'
