I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here just got a major shakeup thanks to the arrival of two new campmates, Maura Higgins and Reverend Richard Coles. The unlikely duo made their first appearance on the show in last night's episode (21st November), which saw them trick their fellow campmates into thinking they were suffering while staying in the junkyard, while actually living a life of (jungle) luxury.
And only one episode in Maura is already giving main character energy, but apart from knowing she has no problem in tricking her fellow campmates and likes to swear a lot, what else is there to know about her? Consider this your 101 on all things Maura Higgins.
