Maura Higgins, the popular influencer known for her appearance on Love Island in 2019, has been causing a stir among fans who are eagerly anticipating her potential entrance into the I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! camp. There have been rumors that she may be a late arrival on the show, alongside Reverend Richard Coles. However, with the return of Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly as hosts this weekend, Maura has left fans confused about her whereabouts.
On Thursday, the brunette beauty, aged 33, shared a photo on her Instagram Story of an airplane, hinting at the fact that she may be traveling to the jungle. She even asked her millions of followers to share their predictions. But later that day, she revealed that she was actually in Las Vegas. It seems like she's cutting it close, as Maura is rumored to be heading to the jungle after her partying in Sin City.
According to sources, Maura will be arriving in Australia "imminently." An ITV insider told MailOnline that her brand trip to Vegas was always part of the schedule and it fits into her arrival dates for the jungle. Maura is currently on a trip with retailer SpaceNK, along with fellow beauty influencers such as Stacey Solomon. She has been sharing glimpses of the glamorous getaway on her social media, including snaps of her luxurious hotel suite and her outfit for the evening's celebrations.
While in Vegas, Maura has been staying at the Palazzo at the Venetian Hotel, which costs $500 per night. The group also had the opportunity to see Adele perform during her residency. It's no wonder Maura is willing to risk the jet lag for this amazing trip.
Meanwhile, back in the UK, Maura's rumored boyfriend Pete Wicks is preparing for weeks apart from his latest love interest as he appears on Strictly Come Dancing's Blackpool special this weekend. The Towie alum, aged 36, and the Love Island star were first linked in August, but have been spotted looking very cozy on recent date nights. While they haven't confirmed their relationship, Maura has spoken about their connection on a podcast, saying that they get along "very well" and have a similar sense of humor.
Maura's appearance on I'm A Celebrity is believed to be a last-minute replacement for Tommy Fury, who dropped out in favor of a lucrative boxing rematch against KSI. An insider told The Sun that Maura stood out as the perfect candidate for the show, as she will bring glamour and a great sense of humor to the jungle.
Other celebrities who are already in Australia and ready to enter the camp include Coleen Rooney, GK Barry, Tulisa, Danny Jones, Oti Mabuse, and Alan Halsall. Some have already met and undergone their first challenges, including a drinking trial featuring bull's penis with fish eyes and vomit fruit – a truly stomach-turning experience.
The new season of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! starts on Sunday at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX. If you have a celebrity story, video, or pictures, share it with The Agency entertainment team by emailing us, calling 020 3615 2145, or visiting our Submit Stuff page – we'd love to hear from you.
