As a dedicated follower of reality TV shows, I must say this news about Maura Higgins potentially replacing Tommy Fury on I’m A Celebrity has me quite intrigued! Having watched Love Island and seen Maura’s charisma and humor firsthand, I believe she would indeed make a brilliant campmate. The jungle could use a bit of her glamour and wit!


It appears that the producers of “I’m A Celebrity” are considering having Maura Higgins take over the spot previously held by Tommy Fury in the jungle.

The 25-year-old boxer had been negotiating with ITV producers for several months regarding his participation in the show, after his breakup with Molly-Mae Hague, also 25. However, he decided to withdraw from the plan only two weeks before his anticipated trip to Australia.

It is being speculated that ITV may be considering Maura, aged 33 and a close friend of Molly-Mae, as a potential replacement for the current contestant. Reports suggest that ITV executives are hoping that the attractive Irish woman will reveal details about her friend during her time in the jungle.

According to a source, when Tommy Fury withdrew from consideration, Love Island producers saw this as an opportunity to explore other options, and Maura emerged as the ideal replacement for the show.

In my expert opinion, I’m about to infuse a dash of sophistication into the wilderness, all while proving an exceptional companion. My knack for humor ensures a lively atmosphere, and I’ve got a charm that’s sure to endear me to everyone around.

‘It’s shaping up to be a strong year for woman on I’m A Celebrity this year.’

With Tommy not participating, it opened up an opportunity for Maura to join the program, since this eliminated the possibility of having two contestants from the 2019 season of the well-known dating show in the jungle.

Initially, Maura aimed for a relationship with Tommy while they were both in the Love Island villa. However, things turned out differently as Tommy got involved with newcomer Molly-Mae instead. Since then, Maura and Molly-Mae have developed a strong friendship.

TopMob have contacted representatives of Maura and ITV for comment.

This year’s series lineup hasn’t been finalized yet, however, according to recent news, Coleen Rooney is anticipated to participate in this year’s event following what appears to be the largest contract ever secured for the show.

Other stars said to be in the running include Jane Moore, Ally McCoist and GK Barry.

After it was reported that Tommy declined I’m A Celebrity, there are rumors that he received a better-paying opportunity instead, speculated to be a reprise of his match against KSI.

According to a source close to the TV production, the executives were taken aback by Tommy’s decision to withdraw from I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! at such a late point in time, as they believed this would have been an excellent chance for his career growth.

Fortunately, the executives have some outstanding potential candidates ready as backup, so they will now be assessing which ones align best with the existing roster to ensure a fantastic series is produced.

‘With only weeks to go, bosses have lined up one of the most exciting casts in the show’s history.’

TopMob contacted ITV and Tommy’s representatives for comment at the time..

Fans were taken aback when Molly-Mae unexpectedly called off her engagement with the boxer, marking an end to their five-year long relationship just last month.

Since then, there have been claims that Tommy was unfaithful to Molly-Mae following reports of him sharing an intense kiss with Danish woman Milla Corfixen, aged 20, while on a guys’ trip in North Macedonia.

Following Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly’s return to I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! on Thursday, as shown in a fresh preview, we now have the confirmed start date for the show.

The countdown is on until a new group of stars head to the Australian outback to face their fears and compete to be crowned either the King or Queen of the jungle on the ITV show.

Prior to the airing of the launch event scheduled for November 17, Ant and Dec assumed the personas of eccentric scientists, subjecting the notorious Bush Tucker Trials to a rigorous examination.

The duo, dressed in coordinating lab coats and formal attire, stood solemnly with their backs toward each other, each grasping a clipboard.

In the backstage photos, they could be spotted engaging in conversation and laughter with team members while getting ready for the comeback of the program.
