If there’s one woman who knows how to make good TV, it’s Maura Higgins.
After first bursting onto the scene during the fifth season of Love Island, the Longford native didn’t hold anything back and gathered herself a massive fanbase which is still as ‘loyal babes’ to this day.
Now, in her latest reality TV stint, following a successful run on Dancing On Ice, Maura is back working with ITV again and this time it’s on her own show.
‘Are You Joking Me’ based on one of the star’s iconic lines from the show will see her take on the gruelling Spartan race at Twickenham Rugby Stadium as she pushes herself to her limits, all for the benefit of your enjoyment.

Speaking about tonight’s show, ITV said in a statement:
“On Love Island, Maura Higgins showed the world she’s a no-nonsense, straight-talking woman.
“So, when ITV2 set her a new, surprise challenge she was straight and clear in her reply; she said no. Many times. Then, reluctantly, she said yes.
“This programme follows her as she attempts to get fit and take on the challenge. But she really wants you to know: she’s not happy about it.”

The race that Maura is training for in the programme takes place on December 5, so the question is, will Maura be ready for the challenge?
The show airs on ITV2 tonight (UK friends).
