Former Love Island star Maura Higgins has revealed she is missing her new mystery lover while appearing on I’m a Celebrity...
Get Me Out of Here! . During last night’s episode of the ITV reality show, the Co Longford personality was asked whether she was single by former Strictly Come Dancing professional dancer Oti Mabuse. Higgins said she was, but that she had been “seeing someone since July”.
Reverend Richard Coles then asked her if they were “exclusive”, to which she replied: “I don’t know.” The 34-year-old then told the camp she had been missing him, and added that the unnamed man was someone they would know. She told the camp she felt she had never been in love, and radio presenter Dean McCullough asked: “Does it feel different this time?” To which she replied: “It does, but then is it because we’ve known each other for a long time?” Coles added: “You’d know if he was an asshole or not, by now.
” Higgins smiled and replied: “Yeah, he’s not an asshole.” She has previously been romantically linked to current Strictly Come Dancing contestant and reality TV star Pete Wicks, who has recently denied rumours of a romance between him and his professional dance partner Jowita Przystal, saying: “We have great chemistry because we’ve become such good friends.” Later in the episode, former boxing champion Barry McGuigan volunteered himself for the “Spiralling Out of Control” Bushtucker Trial.
The Co Monaghan man said: “This is a comeback for me, I suffered a TKO in the first round, the last time, but this time I’m determined to get it right and I’m looking for the knockout.” He was then strapped to a giant spinning wheel and was joined by offal, cockroaches and giant mealworms, before he started to be spun around. Celebrities were also given an opportunity to win their letters from home in the Silent Letters Challenge, which saw them asked to guess a sentimental phrase in the note while it was mouthed by a campmate within two minutes.
All 11 campmates succeeded in guessing their phrases and won their letter from home, however Mabuse struggled for ages to know what her husband dancer Marius Iepure had said, until suddenly she told her campmates “Aero island, it was where we got married”..
