Maura Higgins, the popular contestant on I'm A Celebrity, surprised fans with her recent throwback photos shared online. In these photos, she looked completely different from her usual glamorous self. Maura, who rose to fame after appearing on Love Island, has now joined the star-studded lineup of this year's edition of the ITV reality show, along with other famous personalities like Coleen Rooney, Oti Mabuse, and Dean McCullough.
In her campmate clothes, Maura has ditched her glitz and glamour, but in the throwback photos, she was almost unrecognizable. One of the photos, posted on her Snapchat with the simple caption "Oh," showed a young Maura with a thick black fringe, matching eyeliner, and large hoop earrings. Another photo on her Instagram, taken during her childhood, showed a fresh-faced Maura posing in a black crop top and white trousers. This photo left fans shocked when they realized that Maura was actually 34 years old, contrary to their expectations of her being in her early to mid-20s.
Maura celebrated her birthday on the show, which she described as a day she will never forget. She even took a freezing cold shower in celebration. The TV personality has already become a fan favorite, especially after striking up an unexpected friendship with Reverend Richard Coles. She has also bonded with boxing legend Barry McGuigan, whose son Shane she had previously dated.
During an appearance on Good Morning Britain, Shane revealed that Maura and Barry's Irish roots may have brought them closer in the jungle. He said, "Maura, as well, she's an Irish girl, so her coming into the camp...she's from a tiny town in Longford in Ireland, so they're both from the sticks, we'd call it in Ireland, the middle of nowhere. They both reached big fame they wouldn't have been able to comprehend as kids growing up in their small towns. So could be similarities there as well."
Despite rumors linking her to Towie star Pete Wicks, Maura declared herself a single woman before entering the show. She even joked that no one would fancy her in the jungle. However, just days before her flight to Australia, she was spotted looking cozy with Pete, who was seen kissing her cheek and ear. But now, it seems that Pete has his eyes set on someone else - his Strictly partner Jowita Przystał. According to a source, they have been spending a lot of time together and have become very close backstage, leading to speculations about their chemistry.
