Maura Higgins makes shock return to Love Island USA after she was ‘replaced’ during series

MAURA Higgins has made a shock return to Love Island USA after she was 'replaced' during the series.

Love Island USA will come to an epic conclusion tonight after Chelley Bissainthe and Ace Greene were voted off by America on Friday night.

With four final couples, the winning couple will be among these pairings: Huda Mustafa and Chris Seeley; Olandria Carthen and Nic Vansteenberghe; Amaya Espinal and Bryan Arenales; and Iris Kendall and Pepe Garcia.

Earlier on in the series, Love Island UK stunner Maura Higgins was the host of Love Island USA: Aftersun.

But fans were baffled when Maura vanished and was subsequently replaced by Sophie Monk who hosts the Australian version of the show. 

It was reported that Maura would not be returning for this season of Aftersun as she filmed The Traitors USA. 

Maura has now returned, with her return teased on social media on Saturday.

On the Love Island USA Instagram page, a video of Maura making a comeback was shared.

The Irish stunner looked amazing as she strutted her stuff into the villa.

She could be seen wearing a silver-colored co-ord comprising of a mesh skirt and bra top.

The skirt had a huge thigh-high split, which likely sent temperatures wild.

Maura wore her hair in curls, which cascaded down her back.

"TUHHHNIGHT on Aftersun," the account penned in the caption.

Fans went wild in the comments section, with many fans overjoyed about Maura's return.

"The best host of all time," said one person.

"Our girl is coming back sir the finale. Babe we needed you the whole season," penned a second.

"Yay glad she is back. She would also make a great host I think," added a third.

A fourth then wrote: "Maura is back to try to save the show but it’s too late."

While a fifth said: "Bring on @maurahiggins so excited your back hosting Aftersun, tonight is going to be so good.

"So much has happened this week bring it on Maura, I’m ready."
