I’m A Celebrity fans gobsmacked by Maura Higgins’ age as she celebrates birthday in camp

Fans had a lot to say!

I’m A Celebrity viewers were left floored over star Maura Higgins’ real age.

The reality star is one of many famous faces in this year’s series of the ITV show. Maura – who found fame on Love Island – rocked up to the jungle last week, as a late arrival. And it’s fair to say she’s become a firm favourite so far.

However, during Monday’s episode (November 25), Maura celebrated a big birthday in the camp – and fans had a lot to say about it.

“This is definitely going to be one I will never, ever forget,” she added.  Unfortunately for Maura though, she was tasked to clean the dunny with Coleen Nolan.

Talking about her I’m A Celeb stint, Maura previously said: “This is the only TV show I have ever wanted to do and it’s a real pinch me moment.

I am scared of absolutely everything

“I am ready to step outside my comfort zone. I hope I do make myself proud and I am both excited but also very nervous, because I am scared of absolutely everything.

She added: “But I have watched this show for years and it will be nice to get to know Ant & Dec, who I have met on the red carpet before.”
