Watch moment Maura Higgins screams she’s ‘going to die’ as she faces HUGE spider with GK Barry and I’m A Celeb stars
I’M A CELEBRITY’S newest campmate Maura Higgins is left fearing she is “going to die” during the latest trial.
It comes as the Love Island alum, 34, joins her jungle co-stars in a huge group task.
The Fright Bus challenge was dropped on all the celebs as they finished eating their dinner around the camp fire on Monday.
In a first for this series, the Bushtucker Trial ended on a major cliffhanger as hosts Ant and Dec revealed the rest of it would be shown in Tuesday night’s episode.
Yet things aren’t looking great for Maura as she comes face to face with her eight-legged nemesis.
Teaser scenes show the huge creatures looking menacing as they crawl up the sides of the yellow school bus – perilously close to the celebs locked inside.
Maura can be seen with her hands over her mouth in fear before Danny Jones exclaims: “There’s a spider in here as well!”
She then mutters: “No, no, no, there better not be a spider – don’t say that,” as he reiterates: “There’s a spider there.”
After one is seen climbing up a yellow pole the Irish lass – who has pulled on her goggles for safety – lets out a huge scream.
She then candidly tells Barry McGuigan: “If I have a spider on me I’m going to die,” as Oti Mabuse and GK Barry join the chorus of screams.
Ironically, the trial was dubbed a “treat” for Maura as she turned 34 – with stars given the chance to scoop extra goodies for camp.
Yet after viewers see the trial wrap, there’ll be more mayhem for Maura.
DOUBLE TROUBLE
More teasers for the ITV reality series show Maura shaking in terror in another trial to be aired on Tuesday.
This time, the ITV2 star will partner with The Sun columnist Jane Moore for the Fright at the end of the Tunnel challenge.
In a sneak peek at the trial, it looks like Maura might not make it all the way.

Watching on the sidelines, host Declan Donnelly says: “Take it nice and easy, Maura. Just keep breathing.”
