As a seasoned observer of reality television and its impact on public perception, I must say that Maura Higgins’ participation in this year’s I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! is an intriguing development. Her journey from Love Island contestant to potential jungle queen is indeed a testament to her charisma and resilience.


On Thursday, Stacey Solomon seemed more joyful than ever before as she jet-setted off to glamorous Las Vegas aboard a plush first-class airplane.

34-year-old star posted a series of photos on her Instagram, showing that she was traveling with cosmetic company SpaceNK.

In her premium cabin seat, the previous X Factor competitor smiled brightly while dressed casually in an Alo tracksuit – a pair of beige joggers and a matching sweatshirt.

She teamed the look with a pair of white trainers and acorssorised with gold jewellery. 

In the next picture, the host was seen with her famous friends. Later, she posted a photo featuring a group that included Nella Rose from last year’s jungle camp and Maura Higgins.

She titled her post as: “Embarking on an unforgettable journey! Heading to Las Vegas now. Hard to wrap my head around it, but I’m truly excited! This feels pretty daring for me – Adele, Vegas, canyons, and the girls – unbelievable!

2021 has certainly been a year to forget, but also a year of resilience. I’m off to Las Vegas and would appreciate any suggestions on must-visit spots. Wishing me luck! I am incredibly grateful for this amazing opportunity provided by @spacenk. Sending you all my love! You guys are truly amazing.

Surprised were both Stacey’s and Maura’s fans when they saw the rumored contestant, a mother of five, standing beside her in the camp.

One fan commented: ‘This confirms Maura won’t be the extra in the jungle,’ whilst another wrote: ‘I guess isn’t going to the jungle then,’ alongside heartbreak emojis.  

Maura cleverly diverted attention from her upcoming appearance on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! by arranging a trip as well.

As a lifestyle enthusiast, I’m thrilled to share that I’ve just taken to the skies! From the airport, I’ve got an intriguing snapshot to tantalize my Instagram fans with hints of an exciting journey ahead.

However, several hours past, she confessed that instead of heading to Australia as her followers anticipated, she had actually jet-setted off to Las Vegas, aka Sin City.

Maura posted a picture featuring the iconic “Welcome to Marvelous Las Vegas” sign, taken from her room, and included the spectacular Palazzo at The Venetian Hotel in the shot as well.

Maura was stunning in a sleek, black minidress that accentuated her well-toned legs when she headed out for dinner following her flight.

The television personality accessorized her ensemble with a set of black pumps and a handbag in the same color, which she thoughtfully coordinated with her attire.

Maura is really enjoying herself before embarking on her jungle adventure, and on Wednesday, she donned her finest attire for the House of CB’s Christmas bash in London.

Just days earlier she was also spotted enjoying a final date with her new boyfriend Pete Wicks.

36-year-old cast member from TOWIE (The Only Way is Essex) and Maura have been rumored to be together since August, and more recently, they made their relationship official by showing affectionate public displays of affection (PDA) in London last month.

On their special evening out to watch pianist Ludovico Einaudi perform at the London Palladium, Maura showcased her sleek, toned legs in a white lace mini-skirt paired with a chic, black velvet vest.

She elevated herself with sharp-toed heels, carried a minimalistic handbag, and neatly arranged her sleek, brown tresses in a straight style.

By her side Strictly star Pete wore a smart black suit and a roll neck and clutched his phone.

In 2019, the two, who had initially crossed paths following Maura’s time on Love Island, appeared content and at ease in each other’s company.

It seems that despite Pete’s connection with his Strictly dance partner Jowita Przystal, he is now reportedly spending more time with Maura.

Towards the end of October, Maura and Pete were spotted locking lips on a street near Gloria Restaurant in Shoreditch.

Just a few days prior, Maura addressed the gossip about her relationship with Pete during an appearance on the We Need To Talk podcast with Paul Brunson.

When Paul inquired about whether Maura and Pete were in a relationship, Maura responded to the host: “We have a great connection. I really like him; he’s truly exceptional.

‘Did you notice something peculiar? Our paths crossed not long after I left Love Island, and it turned out that we immediately found a connection.’

‘Our humour is the same. It’s like that sick, dark humour. It’s very abusive. We abuse each other. Very nasty, it’s hilarious.’

On Sunday, the 17th, the show is set to premiere, featuring a previous contestant from Love Island who is 33 years old. It’s anticipated that this individual will join the camp at a later time along with Reverend Richard Coles, who is 62 years of age.

Previously, it was mentioned that the organizers of I’m A Celebrity were considering Maura as an option when boxer Tommy Fury stepped down at the final moment.

Initially, ITV considered replacing him with Molly-Mae Hague’s friend Maura in the jungle, hoping that the Irish beauty would share insights about her companion.

According to a source, when Tommy Fury withdrew from consideration, Love Island producers saw this as an opening to explore other potential cast members. Among them, Maura emerged as an ideal fit for the show.

She’ll add a touch of elegance to the jungle while being an exceptional campmate due to her fantastic humor that ensures she’ll get along well with everyone.

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

Without Tommy participating, it opened up an opportunity for Maura to join the show since this eliminated the possibility of having two stars from the 2019 season of the well-known dating show in the jungle at the same time.
