Maura, who catapulted to fame after appearing on the fifth series of Love Island, is no stranger to living in close quarters with strangers.

Ahead of entering the jungle, she told The Mirror: "It's been five years [since Love Island] and I think I've matured, but I still have a potty mouth.”

She added: “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 patronises me, I get really irritated. Like, that's one thing that really drives me mad.”

The 33-year-old has gained a loyal social media following since her stint on the ITV reality show. She currently has a whopping 3.8 million followers on Instagram and 1.3 million on TikTok.

Writer and Church of England Priest, Reverend Richard Coles, will be the first-ever vicar to enter the I'm A Celeb jungle.

The 62-year-old has admitted that his preparation for the gruelling camp has not shaped up as he hoped.

Speaking to The Mirror, he said: “I would like to say that I've been lowering my calorie intake to prepare for that [the jungle], but that's not worked out so far.

“I've been trying not to look at nature programs about the horrors of Australia.”

I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! returns tomorrow night at 9pm on ITV1, STV and ITVX.
