Following the revelation, fans once again took to social media to speculate that Higgins will actually win the show – or a the very least be one of its major players.
They wrote: ‘Absolutely massive agency. They represent talent at all levels… but it’s a who’s who of Hollywood A-Listers. Maybe some advance planning for when Traitors airs.’;
‘Jeez from the looks of their insta they represent some major people. Wow good for her, I wonder if it means she plays a major role in that new season of the traitors.’;
‘It’s a major agency, I think I read Serena from LI USA is also signed with them? I actually forgot about The Traitors but it’s safe to assume Maura will be spending a lot more time in America.’;
‘I reckon it’s because she wins the show.’
