"It really changed my life. I genuinely thought when I was going on to the show, because Ireland couldn’t vote, that I’d only last a week.”

Speaking about the reaction from her gig on the US show, Maura added: "Weirdly, I was waiting for a lot of the reaction to be like, ‘We can’t understand her!’ But there was none of that. The Americans love the Irish! They love the accent! So it’s been a good thing.”
