Maura Higgins has said she is "so nervous" about her upcoming movie debut in The Spin which was filmed in Northern Ireland.
The 32-year-old TV star, who rocketed to fame on Love Island in 2019, is set to make her film debut in the comedy and has admitted that she is apprehensive about watching herself on the big screen.
While taking part in an Instagram Q&A on Sunday, the Longford native was asked if she was excited about the film project.
She replied: "Oh my god I'm so excited, but I’m also so nervous. And I never get nervous, but I will be very nervous watching that back."
She continued: "For anyone who doesn’t know, this is the movie that I did my first bit of acting in. You know me, I love a challenge. I had such a good time, the people that I was working with were incredible.
"I can't say too much about it but it was an incredible experience. I’ll be very nervous watching it back, yeah, a million percent."
Higgins added: "It’s a hard one because when you’ve not done something before, you just don’t know what to expect. Like obviously I’m comfortable in front of cameras and all of that jazz, but I don’t know I just feel nervous about watching it."
"I'll probably have a pillow in front of my face I’m not joking,"
The Longford native is reported to be playing a character called Rose in the comedy.
A source recently told The Sun: "It's a British film which follows two friends travelling through Ireland looking for old music records.
"The film is a comedy and Maura was the perfect fit for the role. She started work on The Spin over the weekend in Belfast and really impressed the producers."
The role comes after Higgins signed with former Selling Sunset star Christine Quinn's publicist in the US.
In July, Higgins was announced as the social media host for Love Island USA.
The Irish TV star previously competed on Dancing on Ice and presented the makeup competition show Glow Up Ireland.
