Maura Higgins is taking on a very different job as she gets ready to help people find love on TV.
The Love Island and The Traitors star has been chosen to host the new Disney+ version of Blind Date.
The much loved dating show first aired in 1985 and became a big hit with viewers. It ended in 2003 but now it is coming back for a new generation.
The new show, however, will keep the part that made Blind Date so popular.
Single people will sit in front of three possible matches who are hidden behind a wall.
They will not be able to see the people they are choosing from. Instead, they will ask questions, listen to their answers and then pick the person they feel they like most.
Of course, not every match will work out. Disney+ has promised new twists, plenty of drama and some surprising moments along the way.
Maura already knows what it is like to be in front of the cameras as she became famous on Love Island UK and later hosted Love Island USA: Aftersun.
She also reached the final of The Traitors U.S. earlier this year and finished in second place.
Maura is also set to appear on Dancing With the Stars this autumn.
Filming for Blind Date is expected to start later this year. A release date has not been announced yet.
