Inside the bitter feud between I’m A Celeb’s Maura Higgins and Olivia Attwood as pair fallout over ‘copying’ claims, lying on TV and why it’s all set to explode in a new book
As a seasoned reality television observer with a keen eye for the nuances of celebrity life, it appears to me that both Maura and Olivia have had their fair share of dramatic moments in the villa and beyond. Both women have leveraged their experiences on Love Island to propel themselves into the limelight and create new opportunities.
Reality TV personality Maura Higgins is finding herself in a heated verbal exchange with Olivia Attwood, who claims that Higgins has been mimicking her professional path and spreading falsehoods during television appearances.
It’s been simmering for several years, but TopMob indicates that a long-standing feud between Love Island alumni seems to have erupted, with Maura’s behavior during her time in the Australian jungle serving as the catalyst. This has prompted Olivia to publicly criticize her adversary through some enigmatic Instagram posts.
As a loyal confidant of Olivia, I have learned the reason behind her decision to speak up about our ongoing rift, a matter that appears to be growing rather than fading. This information was shared with TopMob by one of Olivia’s friends.
Olivia, aged 33 and married to footballer Bradley Dack, thinks Maura, also 34, is trying to replace her as ITV’s Love Island standout figure by employing a similar strategy that brought her fame, such as citing ‘revenge on an ex’ as the reason for joining the ITV2 dating series and signing with the same public relations firm.
As an ardent admirer, I’ve got to say, it seems to me like Olivia’s buddy suspects Maura might be spinning the truth a bit for some extra flair on TV. She’s been caught spreading tales, such as cleaning a toilet with her ex’s toothbrush as revenge for his infidelity before entering Love Island – a story she once linked to her breakup with Curtis Pritchard, but now that connection seems less pertinent.
The models have similar career paths as they initially worked as Monster Energy Girls and later participated in Love Island and I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! However, it was Olivia who debuted on these shows first, and now she alleges that Maura is capitalizing on her success, a claim which Olivia plans to reveal in a tell-all book.
“TopMob was informed by a friend that many viewers are puzzled about the narrative Maura shared during Sunday’s I’m A Celeb broadcast, leading them to speculate whether she might be spinning stories for more screen time.
She shared with her fellow campers that she joined Love Island as a means of getting back at an unfaithful ex-boyfriend, and she even used his toothbrush to clean the bathroom.
However, she made the same claim after splitting with Curtis Pritchard, telling her fans that she had cleaned the toilet with his toothbrush following their separation in 2020.
On Love Island, Olivia was chosen as a contestant, harboring a desire for revenge against Bradley Dack. Remarkably, this quest for vengeance led to their perfect union, and now they are joyfully married.
It seems clear that Maura is making an effort to shape her career, taking Olivia’s remarkable achievements as inspiration.
This week on Instagram, Olivia subtly expressed her frustration towards Maura by posting: “Someday I’ll pen a book, and there are certain things I’ve kept hidden (symbolized by a zip emoji) throughout the years. It’s going to leave you utterly amazed.
‘You can try to hire all the same people, regurgitate my stories as your own, study the playbook, follow the recipe blah blah but it will *never* taste the same. That’s all.’
After last Sunday’s installment of “The Jungle,” Olivia had an emotional reaction, as that was when Maura discussed with her fellow camper, Jane Moore, why she joined Love Island back in 2019.
TopMob has contacted Maura and Olivia’s representatives for comment.
In my own words, here’s how I might rephrase that:
That evening, I received a call on my phone, and upon answering, I found myself face-to-face with an unfamiliar gentleman. Intriguingly, I had no idea who this man was. However, my intentions were clear – I vowed to exact retribution against him.
‘I had a plan and was completely truthful when he went to the gym the following day. I took his toothbrush and recorded myself cleaning it, as he had a dentist appointment that day. I also filmed this supposedly dirty part.’
Previously, Maura had jokingly asserted that she used Curtis Pritchard’s toothbrush to clean a toilet, following their breakup in 2020, as she posted on Instagram with the caption “For all you ex-boyfriends (slip of the tongue)” accompanied by an image of a toothbrush and a toilet.
Olivia often shares the reasons for joining Love Island, sometimes drawing from her past to develop her own ITV dating series titled Bad Boyfriends.
At the outset of the program, she shared: ‘I am Olivia Attwood. A while ago, I entered the globally recognized villa, solely focused on one thing… Retribution. My aim was to avenge myself against my ex-boyfriend Bradley Dack, and it succeeded…’
In a more relaxed and straightforward rephrasing, here’s how you could put it: The woman often referred to as ITV’s “upcoming icon” gained popularity on Love Island back in 2017, which was two years prior to Maura’s rise to fame.
In 2022, she made history as the initial ex-Islander to join I’m A Celeb, however, she had to depart the jungle prematurely due to health issues, an experience that she admits continues to bring sadness.
Since then, Olivia has taken on the role as the host for her self-owned dating series titled “Bad Boyfriends,” while also persistently working on her documentary series that encompasses both “Getting Filthy Rich” and “The Price of Perfection.
The podcast, titled “So Wrong It’s Right,” has likewise featured notable guests like Tulisa from the jungle camp, Pete Wicks and Katie Price who were previously on Strictly.
This season, Maura joined the team as a last-minute addition, and on the most recent episode of the show, she was spotted shouting during the Bush Tucker Challenge.
She overcame her phobia of spiders, venturing into tight passages to uncover secret messages, teaming up with Jane who, utilizing data from Maura, unlocked safes and found star artifacts for our camp.
