Molly-Mae's one-word message to Maura Higgins ahead of I'm A Celebrity jungle stint
New I'm A Celebrity campmate Maura Higgins is set to be supported from long-time friend Molly-Mae Hague.
While Maura's appearance in the jungle was rumoured before the latest series began, she did not appear in any of the official line-ups ahead of the first episode.
However, hosts Ant and Dec confirmed that the Irish TV personality and model is set to repeat her bombshell appearance on Love Island by arriving as a late edition in the Australian camp. The 33-year-old will arrive alongside Reverend Richard Coles and settle into a separate area away from the likes of GK Barry and Coleen Rooney to begin with.
Maura confirmed the news she was travelling to Australia in an Instagram post yesterday, where she shared a short message with her followers as she prepared for life cut off from social media.

She said: "I'm landing in Australia! The minute I land, my chaperone is taking my phone off me, so this is goodbye, My manager's going to be looking after my social media while I'm in hell and she's going to ruin my life on my Instagram. Facts.
"I've been trying to prepare my brain and mind this whole flight but I spent most of it sleeping because I've been hungover.
"I just hope I do everyone proud. I hope I don't let you down but most importantly I hope to do myself proud because I don't wanna be the biggest p**** in camp. The next time you see me I'm going to have bugs all over me. Love you."
The post received plenty of comments including from fellow TV personalities lending their support. Stacey Solomon replied: "You've got this Maura...you're stronger than you know! Good luck!"
Ariana Madix said: "You are going to become queen of the jungle!" Another who responded to the video was Molly-Mae Hague who Maura met during her spell on Love Island.
They met while appearing on the show together and were originally involved in a love triangle with boxy Tommy Fury.
Despite this, they remained friends ever since and Maura was quick to support Molly-Mae when her relationship with Tommy ended earlier this year.
As Molly-Mae posted a picture of herself following the break-up, Maura added to the thousands of comments, declaring: "LOVE and ADORE YOU," accompanied by a white heart emoji.
And she has now reciprocated the support and sent a one-word message to Maura as she travelled down under saying: "Queen" with a love heart emoji.
I'm A Celebrity continues tonight at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX
