Maura Higgins opens up about her relationship with her Dad, her experience with sexual assault and being in a 'dark place' after leaving the Love Island villa
Maura Higgins has opened up about her childhood, admitting that she doesn't have a relationship with her dad and that she cut him off after a "horrendous" phone call.
She explained that her parents had a “very nasty breakup” and that she saw her mother struggle a lot, even recalling witnessing her have a “nervous breakdown”. When asked about her relationship with her father, Maura recalled that he worked a lot and “wasn’t really around”, but her relationship with him became more strained after her parent’s divorce.
"I thought to myself, 'I wouldn't let a partner talk to me like that. I wouldn't let a friend talk to me like that. I'm not going to let my dad talk to me like that". When discussing her Love Island debut, Maura confessed to going on the dating show for revenge on her previous partner who cheated on her. “I was on a revenge streak! I went in there guns blazing”, she laughed. When asked about her motivations for going on the show, she even admitted “I definitely wasn’t there for love”.
