The highly anticipated return of I'm A Celebrity is just a few weeks away and fans are buzzing with excitement. After the news broke out that Tommy Fury had pulled out of the 2024 season, everyone was wondering who would take his place. But it looks like ITV has found a perfect replacement in the form of Love Island queen Maura Higgins.
The Irish reality star caught everyone's attention when she made it to the final of Love Island's fifth series in 2019. Her fiery and no-nonsense attitude won over the hearts of viewers and she quickly became an overnight sensation. Since then, Maura has made several TV appearances, from being an agony aunt on This Morning to competing on Dancing On Ice. Needless to say, she's no stranger to ITV executives.
According to reports, Maura is set to head to Australia next month to join the rest of the celebrity campmates. It seems that Tommy Fury opted for a more lucrative offer of a boxing rematch against KSI, leaving a spot open for Maura to fill. And with her popularity and charm, she's sure to be a hit with viewers and her fellow campmates.
An insider revealed that Maura was a clear favorite among show bosses, who were looking for someone to add a touch of glamour to the jungle. Her great sense of humor and ability to get along with everyone made her the perfect candidate for the show. Plus, fans are excited to see her spill the tea about her close friendship with Molly-Mae Hague, who recently split from Tommy.
This year's lineup for I'm A Celebrity is shaping up to be a strong one, with several big female names rumored to be joining the show. From Coleen Rooney to Tulisa and Oti Mabuse, the list is full of exciting possibilities. However, one name that won't be on the list is Tommy Fury, who recently pulled out of the show at the last minute. Sources say that show executives were surprised by his decision, as it would have been a great opportunity for him.
But not to worry, as the producers had some great names waiting in the wings, including Maura. Having been in talks with the show for months, they were prepared to fill any gaps in the lineup. Maura, who has remained close friends with Molly-Mae since their time on Love Island, is sure to bring some unforgettable moments to the jungle.
Fans are eagerly waiting for the 23rd season of I'm A Celebrity to premiere on November 17th, with Ant and Dec ready to crown a new jungle king or queen. Will Maura be the one to take the crown this year? We'll just have to wait and see.
