Irish reality star and TV presenter Maura Higgins has been confirmed to be among the line-up for the next season of The Traitors US.

Longford native Higgins is among a star-studded cast that includes The Bachelor's Colton Underwood, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' Lisa Rinna, actor Michael Rapaport, singer-songwriter Erin Nam and Donna Kelce, the mother of Taylor Swift's fiancé Travis Kelce.

The 23 contestants will compete to win the $250,000 (€215,000) prize money.

In a teaser video for the show, Higgins says: "If someone comes for me at the Round Table, God love them."

Higgins came to fame on Love Island in 2019 and last year finished seventh on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here.
