So seeing Maura rubbing shoulders with Hollywood stars at the nation's biggest sporting event no doubt left a bitter taste in Olivia's mouth. 

Yet while the Irish star may have won this battle, in the grand scheme of things, who looks set to win the war? 

Olivia, who appeared on season three of the show in 2017, immediately capitalised on her fame by coming out of the villa and starring in Chris & Olivia: Crackin' On with then boyfriend, Chris Hughes. 

After a series of calculated career moves and seeing her fame go on the rise, she now has an estimated net worth of a staggering £6 million. 

In comparison, Maura - who appeared on season five of Love Island in 2019 - has an estimated net worth of £4.6 million, although this looks set to rise given her newfound success across the pond. 

TV gigs 

Off the back of her Love Island success, Olivia carried on the reality TV route and appeared on Celebs Go Dating and TOWIE before launching her own reality series: Olivia Meets Her Match. 

In 2022, she began presenting documentaries on ITV, with the first series. Olivia Attwood: Getting Filthy Rich, a look into the sex work industry, an instant hit. 

She went on to work on a series of docs with the broadcaster, including Olivia Attwood vs The Trolls; Olivia Attwood: The Price of Perfection Presenter and Olivia Attwood’s Bad Boyfriends.

In November 2022, she featured as a contestant on I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! but was forced to withdraw due to medical grounds. 

The following year she became a panellist on Loose Women.

As for Maura, she too went down the reality route after Love Island, competing on Dancing on Ice, where she made it through to week six. 

After a series of reality roles she was then made the host of Glow Up: Britain's Next Make-Up Star, an accolade that scooped her Best Female TV Presenter at The Gossies Awards. 

She went on to make her film debut in Irish movie The Spin, which is set for release later this month. 

Maura was then said to be heading for Hollywood stardom after 'impressing industry insiders' with her acting debut.

After the screening, a source told The Mirror: 'Everyone was talking about Maura and how great she was. She can act and people were impressed. 

'There were a lot of important people from the film in that room and conversations were taking place about what she does next.' 

It was reported the conversations were with big US executives who were eager to find out Maura's plans.

American ambition  

Maura was the first to feature on US screens when she joined Love Island USA as a social media ambassador, soon becoming a guest host for the Love Island Games and then the main host of spin-off Aftersun.

She went on to land a spot on the star-studded line up for The Traitors US, competing against the likes of Lisa Rinna and Michael Rapaport. 

Maura was selected to attend The Super Bowl this month as a guest of Primark, who brought together celebrities such as Maura and Anastasia Karanikolaou. 

Her plans to crack America are obvious with the star signing with public relations agency, Align, which specialises in growing careers in the US, earlier this year. 

The Daily Mail understands that Maura chose to sign with Align due to her growing work in the United States, including her upcoming appearance on The Traitors US. 

Maura also recently revealed that she has signed with a major US talent agency, Creative Artist Agency, whose glittering list of clients includes big names like Lady Gaga. 

Olivia has also spent a lot of time in the US filming her various ITV shows and she was also out there last year working on a 'secret project'.

Speaking to Daily Mail, Olivia said she has 'had offers' from bosses across the pond, and hopes that with the help of her new international fanbase, she could take her career global. 

The star admitted that even before her shows were launched on Disney+, she had already had plenty of international fans thanks to her stint on Love Island.

She said: 'Love Island is huge in America, the UK one so I feel really lucky there was already quite a large US audience on my Instagram, they are definitely happy to have the shows available, also in Australia as well.

'I'm very happy with my career as it is right now. I mean I've had offers, I'm not looking to jump ship right now, but yes, at some point I'm sure we'll do something over there.'
