I’m A Celeb star Maura Higgins has recalled one terrifying jungle moment as she reunited with her campmates for GK Barry’s Wembley show on Sunday.

The Irish star, 34, supported her pal and was also a special guest on the Saving Grace XXX-Mas Special, alongside Dean McCullough, 32.

During the show Grace said: ‘I loved my hammock in the jungle but I was literally the only person who enjoyed sleeping on one. After Jane [Moore] left, everyone was ready to fight for her bed but I was happy staying where I was!’.

However late addition Maura, who entered the jungle a week late with Reverend Richard Coles, 62, was less impressed with the sleeping arrangements which included a number of uninvited guests. 

Admitting: ‘By the time I finally got an actual bed, the one I got was where all the cooking was done, so I ended up having loads of mice on it with me!’.

Grace then laughed: ‘No one believes the dunny is real when watching from home but I can assure you it is’.

As Maura quipped: ‘The spiders made me go much quicker!’. 

GK returned to the stage for her UK podcast tour on Sunday, before she ventures out to Sheffield, Glasgow and Liverpool.

It comes after it was reported that Maya Jama will leave Love Island next summer after the show returns for another series – with Maura set to replace her.

The presenter, 30, is thought to earn £750,000 per series for the hosting role after she took over from Laura Whitmore in January 2023. 

At the time, Maya said it had been a lifelong dream to host Love Island, expressing how thrilled she was to finally achieve it.

However, insiders now claim she is likely to walk away from the show after the summer series comes to an end.

Meanwhile Maura first shot to fame when she made a dramatic entrance into the villa as a bombshell in 2019 – with insiders claiming bosses have her in line as Maya’s replacement. 

A source told The Sun: ‘Maya adores hosting Love Island and thinks it’s a great fit for now. But she’s keen to leave on a high and keep her career moving forward on the right tracks. She is incredibly ambitious and would like to keep focusing on primetime presenting opportunities. 

Admitting: ‘By the time I finally got an actual bed, the one I got was where all the cooking was done, so I ended up having loads of mice on it with me!’

Maura supported her pal and was also a special guest on the Saving Grace XXX-Mas Special, alongside Dean McCullough, 32 

‘She also has hopes of working in America and doesn’t want to be tied down. She has been building up her skills as a presenter and is very much part of the Love Island family.’

The insider added: ‘She also has the unique perspective of having appeared herself as a contestant. She’s just also had a successful stint on I’m A Celeb so the world is her oyster now.’

Maura quickly became a crowd favourite, alongside fellow Islanders Molly-Mae Hague and Amber Gill. 

The television personality also has presenting experience. This year she hosted the US version of the spin-off show Love Island Aftersun and also presents Glow Up. 

ITV has denied reports Maya will step down, with a spokesperson telling MailOnline: ‘We are very much committed to Maya, who is a brilliant Love Island host, and we have no plans for a presenter change.’ 

MailOnline has contacted a rep for Maya and Maura for comment. 

It comes after it was revealed Maya has become a multi-millionaire following the success of her TV career and business ventures.

The TV presenter has published accounts for her business MIJ & Co Entertainment which show assets in the company have increased to £1.83million from £1.37million.

The star appears to have doubled her earnings as she has cash worth £1.3million in the account over the last three months but had £618,774 the previous year.

Maya split with long term love, rapper Stormzy in July but the bump in her personal life hasn’t stopped her career from reaching new heights.

She landed the full time role as Love Island’s number one presenter when Laura stood down. 

Since then she has hosted Love Island Games, Love Island All Stars and series 11 which went out in June and July.

Maya is thought to earn £750,000 per series of Love Island while she also reportedly banked upward of £50,000 for co-hosting this year’s BRIT Awards.
