Who is I'm a Celebrity's Maura Higgins dating?
As time passes in the I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! camp, the discussions are becoming more profound, and the stars are becoming more open. In last night's episode, the topic shifted to dating and relationships. Former Love Island contestant Maura Higgins revealed that she is, in a way, seeing someone.
While chatting with Oti Mabuse, Reverend Richard Coles, and Dean McCullough about their romantic experiences, Oti inquired if Maura was currently unattached.
She answered, "Yes, I am, but I was talking to someone before I arrived here, though I'm not currently in a relationship."
The Reverend then inquired, "Was it just between the two of you? Or if I’m putting you in an awkward position, I apologize!" Maura replied, "I’m not sure."
Dean then inquired whether she was interested in exploring the subject further, suggesting that the mysterious man could be someone familiar to them. Maura responded affirmatively and confessed that she had been missing him a bit since her time in the jungle.
So, who is Maura seeing these days? Here's what we know.
Who Is Maura From I'm A Celebrity Dating?
Before Maura ventured into the jungle, there were widespread rumors that she was in a relationship with Pete Wicks, who is now a contestant on Strictly Come Dancing.
The two have been friends for a long time and were seen together at several events before her trip to Australia.
Right before heading into the jungle, Maura mentioned that she's currently single. In an interview with The Mirror, she stated, "I've been out on dates with several people. I'm not in a relationship. Who told you that? I do go out on dates, but I am definitely single. It's normal for people to go on dates."
Ever since Maura joined I'm a Celebrity, Pete has been backing her on social media. Just yesterday (December 1st), he posted a picture on his Instagram Story encouraging his followers to show their support for Maura and vote to keep her in the competition.
He said, "I've played the role of George of the Jungle, but now it's time to support Maura of the Jungle!"
On Maura's Instagram, currently overseen by her family while she's away, they posted a video of Pete dancing with his partner Jowita Przystał during the quarterfinals, sending their best wishes for his success.
They posted: "Striding into the quarter-finals like... give it your all, Tony! Wishing you the best of luck tonight @p_wicks01; we’re all cheering for you!"
We really need Maura to come back from Australia quickly to find out what’s going to happen next with these two.
Cosmopolitan UK has contacted Pete and Maura's representatives for a statement.
I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here is still airing on ITV1 and ITVX.
