Reason why Maura Higgins hasn't entered the jungle despite being announced on the line up

Fans were confused when Maura shared a photo from Las Vegas despite I'm A Celeb starting on Sunday (17 November)

As Maura Higgins shared an Instagram story from Las Vegas, just a day before the new series of I'm A Celeb is due to start, fans all had the same question.

Is Maura going into the jungle or not?

A couple of weeks ago, it was revealed that the former Love Island star, 33, would be taking part in this year's I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! along with the likes of Coleen Rooney, GK Barry and Tulisa.

But while most of the celebs are now in Australia ready to head into camp, people noticed that Maura has been on a work trip in Las Vegas.

It's even led to people wondering if she's quit the jungle.

"Are you going in I'm a celeb still?" One fan asked.

And another said: "Should you not be in Australia right now."

So what's happening? Is Maura heading into camp after all?

Well, according to The Sun, the former islander *is* going into the jungle, but will be a late addition along with Reverend Richard Coles.

It's reported the pair will enter camp one week in.

It makes sense then that Maura has been enjoying her last few days before heading into camp, where she'll be sleeping on a hammock, taking part in brutal challenges and eating rice and beans.

In fact, after sharing a photo of a huge spread of hotel food on her social media, one follower joked: "Making the most of it before the jungle."

And another said: "Make the most it before those rice and beans haha can't wait to watch I'm a celeb."

"Fill up before the jungle," said a third.

If Maura does enter the jungle, she could be set for an awkward reunion with her ex's dad.

Before she made her name in TV, Maura worked as a ring girl for several professional boxers including the likes of Anthony Joshua.

During that time, she got together with boxing coach Shane McGuigan when he was commentating on a match in 2018.

Things didn’t quite work out between the pair though, reportedly due to the distance with Maura living in Ireland and travelling for work while McGuigan was based in London.

While he might not be heading into the jungle to go on I’m a Celeb, his dad, Barry McGuigan is.
