I’m A Celebrity campmate Barry McGuigan’s son Shane revealed he’d been admitted to hospital last night (December 8) as the jungle series came to an end.
While Shane didn’t explain what was up, he posted a picture of himself wearing a cannula. He did write over the picture that it’s “one thing after another at the moment”.
Shane’s dad was one of the last contestants to leave the I’m A Celebrity jungle.
He departed with compatriot Maura Higgins – who Shane once dated – prompting calls for people living in Ireland to be able to vote for their favourite campmates.
Barry McGuigan’s son Shane in hospital
Shane McGuigan’s Instagram Story doesn’t contain much detail, but he certainly appears – or appeared – to be in hospital.
Wearing a white T-shirt and a stern expression, he posted a picture of himself wearing a cannula.
A cannula is a small, flexible tube that goes into a vein, often on the arm, to deliver fluids or medications or gather blood samples.
Above him in the picture are a pouch of clear fluid, the corner of a blue curtain and a white tiled ceiling, all of which give the impression that he is in a hospital.
Over the image, he wrote: “It’s one thing after another at the moment”.
Shane works as a boxing trainer and owns a gym in southwest London. Barry introduced him to the sport when he was a teenager.
Shane McGuigan once dated Maura Higgins
In a twist to this year’s I’m A Celebrity, Barry McGuigan’s campmate Maura Higgins used to date his son, Shane.
They met before her stint on Love Island, while she was working as a ring girl. Ring girls are common in boxing, kickboxing and mixed martial arts.
They enter the ring between rounds, carrying a sign that shows the number of the upcoming round. Maura was a ring girl for Anthony Joshua, among others.
When she met Tommy Fury on Love Island, she said to him: “You’re a boxer – you know I’m a ring girl? I’ve only been doing it like two years. Joshua. His last two or three fights in London.”
When she dated Shane, she was living in Ireland while he was running his gym in London.
Now, Shane is engaged to singer Taylor West. They have two sons together, Finley George and Caelan James.
