Maura Higgins has shared what she thinks of her I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here campmates as she prepares to head into the jungle.

The Love Island legend, 33, insisted she was ‘Team Coleen’ when it came to the sensational Wagatha Christie trial, in which Rebekah Vardy accused Wayne Rooney‘s wife of defamation in 2022.

Speaking to MailOnline, Maura said: ‘I’m excited to meet her [Coleen]. I would do the exact same as what she did. Put up something on my Instagram story and just have certain people view it to catch that person out. That is the way my brain would work.’

Throwing her support behind Coleen will undoubtedly annoy Rebekah, 42, who has been outspoken about her nemesis Wag’s appearance in the Jungle.

Maura also revealed that she is hoping she can chat to the mother-of-four about the Instagram set-up and trial as she is a ‘bit nosey’.

She added: ‘Yeah, I want to talk to her about it, like, I’m bit nosey, like that. Yes I am [team Coleen].’

The Irish model also said she will ‘definitely get on with Tulisa’ in camp as the pair already know each other.

She added: ‘I already know Tulisa. So I’ll definitely get on with her. She’s amazing, and I reckon I’d get on really well with Barry McGuigan. You know, Irish, I think, very humorous.’

Maura, found fame on Love Island in 2019, and told MailOnline she has packed several bikinis ready for the iconic jungle shower.

The reality star said: ‘I’ve packed my bikinis, but I haven’t really thought much about it. I’m a bit worried about that water being freezing cold.

‘I hate cold water, so, um, I could be the girl that doesn’t shower the whole time.’

For weeks it’s been rumoured the reality star was a contestant on the ITV flagship show and Maura has done her best to throw fans off the scent in the past few days

She will be joining the likes of Coleen and N-Dubz’s Tulisa Contostavlos for three weeks living a diet of rice and beans and camping among spiders and snakes.

Strictly’s Oti Mabuse and McFly singer Danny Jones are among the other signings this year.

Her whirlwind trip to Las Vegas had fans convinced she wasn’t joining this year’s I’m A Celebrity as a late entry.

But MailOnline can reveal Maura is simply cutting it fine with her partying in Sin City over the weekend.

An ITV source said: ‘She will be arriving this week, the brand trip was always part of the schedule as Maura had agreed to it and it fit into her arrival dates for the Jungle.’

In an attempt to squeeze out every last ounce of luxury from her lavish lifestyle, Maura accepted a paid-for trip to Vegas with the beauty brand, Space NK, which she knew would be cutting it fine when it came to her arrival Down Under.

Staying at the 500 dollars a night Palazzo at the Venetian Hotel, Maura was joined by the likes of Stacey Solomon and was flown out on Thursday first class to Las Vegas.

Treated to morning facials and extravagant dinners of calamari at Nobu and lobster at the Bellagio, it’s a far cry from what’s in store for her in Australia, a diet that will consist of rice and beans.

After watching Adele at her Vegas residency, when the Easy on Me singer even interrupted her song to compliment Maura on her scarlet red suit, the Love Island star went on to party the night away with friends.

Playing into how last minute the trip was before the Jungle, Maura teased fans that she was headed to Australia by posting a picture of an aeroplane with the caption, ‘Where to?!’

When she later popped up in Las Vegas, fans who were expecting her to arrive at Brisbane Airport, were sent into a tailspin claiming she had already quit the Jungle.

But ITV knows she is too good a signing to let go.

When she entered the Love Island villa in 2019 with her non-nonsense confrontational demeanour, ITV bosses could not believe their luck and the Irish star quickly became a fan favourite.

And the network is no doubt hoping for the same approach from Maura when it comes to the I’m A Celebrity jungle which will make her the perfect late arrival to shake the camp up.
