Maura Higgins Faces Fears in ‘I’m a Celeb… Get Me Out of Here!’ – Her Journey of Overcoming Anxiety
Maura Higgins, a TV personality and star of Love Island, will join the cast of I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! in Australia. She expressed excitement about this opportunity, calling it a “real pinch-me moment.” Despite being scared of many things, she is eager to step outside her comfort zone.
Higgins revealed that she is especially frightened of eating challenges and has never slept outdoors before. However, she looks forward to the experience of being without fake tan and her phone. She stated, “I am going to be brave,” and connected this experience to her previous participation in Love Island.
Higgins gained fame on the 2019 series of Love Island, where she was paired with dancer Curtis Pritchard. She has been linked romantically to Chris Taylor and Giovanni Pernice, but she clarified that falling in love on the show is not her goal. She said, “I am single at the moment, but honestly no-one is going to fancy me in the jungle.”
Higgins is an emotional person and mentioned that her vulnerabilities come out when she feels comfortable with others. She anticipates the challenges of the jungle, including potential emotional moments due to lack of food and comfort.
Her family is enthusiastic about her appearance on the show, urging her to return with a crown. Recent rumors suggested she was dating reality star Pete Wicks, but Higgins confirmed that she is still very much single.
