Maura Higgins is set to face a challenge ahead of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! as she is to come face to face with her ex-boyfriend's father - Barry McGuigan
Former Love Island star Maura Higgins is to have her first challenge ahead of entering the Australian jungle - as she's set to meet up with her ex-boyfriend's father, Barry McGuigan.
Maura was reportedly on ring card duty for the boxing match between David Haye and Tony Bellew, which was a rematch, and Shane was there to commentate for a radio show. A source told The Sun at the time: "Maura has brains and beauty and she quickly caught Shane's eye. They got chatting and had instant chemistry so of course he asked her out."
Now that news has emerged of Maura dating Strictly's Pete Wicks, all eyes are on the new couple. An insider told the publication: "With Tommy Fury pulling out it gave show bosses the opportunity to look at other Love Island stars and Maura stood out as the perfect candidate. She'll bringing a bit of glamour to the jungle and make a brilliant campmate because she's got a great sense of humour and is bound to get on with everyone.
When asked by Paul how dark things became for the reality TV star, she admitted: "I didn't want to be here anymore, I thought that was the best thing. I felt like there was so much expected of me and because I was there on my own, there was nobody to help. Moving country while being thrown into the public eye is terrifying."
