Watch the moment I’m A Celeb late arrival Maura chooses who she fancies between ‘Ant or Dec’ – and leaves one blushing
I’M A Celeb’s late arrival Maura Higgins chose who she fancied between Ant and Dec as she touched down in Australia.
The 33-year-old, who spent her pre-jungle days sinking red wine in Sin City, will be entering the show on Thursday night alongside Rev Richard Coles.
And she did a pre-show interview which was shown on I’m A Celeb… Unpacked.
Maura, sitting looking very glam in a white jumper, candidly admitted she’d been drinking lots of red wine and eating lots of pasta ahead of the jungle.
Other confessions included the fact she’d never slept outside, and then she was quizzed on who she’d choose between Ant and Dec.
The cheeky Irish reality star replied: “Ant or Dec? I don’t want to choose but… it’s Dec.”
When the show then returned to the I’m A Celeb studio, Ant and Dec were left red faced.
Joel Dommett quizzed Ant: “What do you think about that? Ant, would you pick Maura or the Reverend?”
To which Ant cheekily replied: “Neither.”
Maura told The Sun this week: “I’m still on Vegas time. I’m not well.
“Sin City has killed me. Honestly, not good. I feel like yer man from The Hangover, like, the shakes and everything.
“It was amazing, just very exhausting. It was like, proper, full on . . . when we landed, just the jet lag, no sleep.
“I have no clue what day it is. I don’t know where I am, I’m so confused.”
She added: “I don’t really drink champagne, I’m more red wine. So that gives you a bad hangover, you know.”
In Vegas, she partied with Loose Women’s Stacey Solomon and watched Adele at her Caesars Palace residency before flying to Oz, where she landed on Monday.
Despite Maura having a blast, some of her fans were not too happy about the trip.
She said: “My DMs were ‘Why are you in Vegas? You should be in Australia. I’ve put a bet on you to win the show!’ ”
