Maura Higgins was left nothing short of furious as she fell at the final hurdle on the US Traitors.<\/p>\n

The Longford beauty was betrayed at the eleventh hour by her co-star and pal, Rob Rauch, and her disgust caused her fiery personality to flare up.<\/p>\n

Rob formed an alliance with Maura as the celebrities attempted to uncloak the Traitors throughout the series. Rob swore down to Maura that he was a Faithful from the get-go, with Maura going as far as to stand up on his behalf to their fellow co-stars.<\/p>\n

When Rob told Maura, ‘I have, and always have been, a Traitor’, the former Love Island star’s face was absolutely priceless with shock, but she soon launched a tirade against him.<\/p>\n

Maura branded him an ‘absolute a**hole’, and lashed out at him, saying he’ll ‘never have a girlfriend’ because he’s such a good liar.<\/p>\n

‘No, you’re joking?’ Maura finally said after her period of astonishment, before Rob admitted: ‘This whole game I\u2019ve been a Traitor.’<\/p>\n

Fuming, Maura continued: ‘Oh my god. I\u2019m so stupid. I was so fooled by you. You absolute a***hoe. You pinky promised!\u00a0You\u2019re a piece of work.’<\/p>\n

‘I was so convinced\u2026 you\u2019ve embarrassed me,’ she continued. As Rob tried to speak, Maura cut over him, saying: ‘Don’t speak, please stop talking.<\/p>\n

‘You\u2019re never going to have a girlfriend after this, you\u2019re such a good liar!’<\/p>\n

After taking a breather and calming down, Maura spoke to the cameras and admitted she would’ve ‘done the same’ in order to win, had she been a Traitor.<\/p>\n

‘I would\u2019ve done the same, I think I\u2019m just in shock \u2013 I actually thought I was winning!,’ she said.<\/p>\n

Maura, 35, and Rob, 27, formed a close alliance that led fans to believe there was romance sparking between them<\/a>, but that quickly came crashing down during the final roundtable.<\/p>\n

Rob claimed the entire prize pot for himself after having agreed to split the $220,800 with Maura. Yikes!<\/p>\n

Though fans love Maura, people are delighted that Rob won the show after playing a blinder of a game, and many took to X to joke that Maura had the word ‘gullible’ written on her forehead.<\/p>\n

One X user penned: ‘Maura thought a pinky promise meant [something] on a show CALLED TRAITORS!!!!,’ as another wrote: ‘Maura really put all her faith in a pinky promise on a show called #Traitors you can\u2019t make these levels of gullible up.’<\/p>\n
