‘Love Island’ and ‘The Traitors’ Star Maura Higgins to Host ‘Blind Date’ on Disney+

Irish native Higgins first propelled to fame on “Love Island U.K.,” where she was a finalist and then became the host of “Love Island USA: Aftersun.” Earlier this year, she was the runner-up on “The Traitors U.S.,” and this fall she is set to compete on “Dancing With the Stars.” “Blind Date” is a Hulu Original series commissioned by Sean Doyle, VP of unscripted at Disney+ EMEA and executive produced by Matthew Worthy and Kieran Doherty for Stellify Media (a Sony Pictures Television-backed company) and Graham Stuart for SO TV (part of ITV Studios). We’re very much looking forward to Maura helping our daters navigate their own journeys to find love as she steps into the famed ‘Blind Date’ host role.”
