Former Love Island star Maura Higgins has given fans a much-needed update on her heading into the I'm A Celebrity jungle as she issues a warning to campmates.
The Irish TV personality, 33, who appeared on the dating show in 2019, said her mum 'nearly died' when she told her she would be entering the jungle.
Maura is set to join the 10 campmates alongside late arrival Rev Richard Coles.
"She went: 'Maura, how are you going to do that?’" Higgins recently said to The Mirror. "She is baffled as I'm more of an indoor girl…I like my hotels. I've never slept outside."

On her biggest I'm A Celeb concern, she added: "I just don't want to let people down, because everyone's been DMing me, saying 'Oh my God, I hope you're doing the show.’
"I don't want to back out of the trials and be the biggest wimp in the camp. If spiders go over the top of my head, I might just die.
"I'm not a nervous person at all. I don't get anxiety. But for this show, when I think about it, I'm like, 'Oh God'."
That being said, Maura warns that she isn't one to shy away from a confrontation.

"It's been five years and I think I've matured, but I still have a potty mouth," she explained. "I'm still the same kind of girl but I'm not going to go in and annihilate anyone.
"However, if someone gets on my nerves, I'm not really one to hold it in. I do speak my mind. If someone patronized me, I get really irritated. Like, that's one thing that really drives me mad."
One thing she is looking forward to though is not having her phone on her, which would be a nightmare for most people.

"I never care about my phone really," she said. "Like, even on Love Island, a lot of the Islanders were complaining about missing their phone. I was like, 'I'm loving not having my phone'."
The influencer also touched upon not being glammed up, admitting: "I've not even got my brows done… I've not done anything. I cannot wait to just not have to get up and put makeup on and care about it, because it's not that type of show. Like, you're not really in there to look good, are you?”
On top of this, Higgins can't wait to ask Coleen Rooney about the infamous Wagatha Christie case in 2022.

As you'll remember, the wife of Wayne Rooney accused Rebekah Vardy on social media of leaking her private information to the press. After Vardy sued her for libel in July 2022, the court said Rooney's allegation was 'substantially true', and ordered Vardy to pay 90 percent of her costs.
"I want to talk to her about that....I'm bit nosy like that," she added. "I would do the exact same and put up something on my story and just have certain people view it to catch that person out. That is the way my brain would work."
