Love Island’s Molly Mae Hague has been tuning in to watch her pal Maura Higgins on I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! – and let her feelings be known with just a four-word sentence. The social media star took to Instagram on Thursday, sharing that she was eagerly watching Maura enter the jungle.
Yet despite the show having started on Sunday, Molly Mae wrote: “The series has begun,” alongside a photo of Maura on her TV. The pair rose to fame on Love Island’s 2019 series together, where they initially competed for the affections of boxer Tommy Fury.
While Maura came in fourth place with Curtis Pritchard, Molly Mae came second with Tommy – and the popular couple went on to welcome baby Bambi into the world last year. After five years together, the pair ended their relationship in August.
Molly released a statement via Instagram saying their relationship was over and has since told fans she won’t be discussing the split. Tommy was originally rumoured to be taking part in this year’s series of I’m A Celebrity…Get Me out of Here! – however, he reportedly pulled out to accept a lucrative boxing offer.
An insider expressed their surprise at his last-minute withdrawal and told The Sun: “Bosses are surprised Tommy has pulled out of I’m A Celebrity at this late stage as it would have been a great opportunity for him.” Ever hopeful, they added: “Thankfully, execs already had some great names waiting in the wings so they’ll be looking at which ones fit best into the line-up already booked so they can deliver a truly great series.”

Maura made her I’m A Celebrity debut on Thursday night’s show, entering the Jungle Junkyard with Strictly star Reverend Richard Coles. She’s set for an awkward reunion in camp however when she sees Barry McGuigan – with the Love Island star having dated his son Shane McGuigan in the past.
Before her ITV fame, Maura dated Shane for a year after meeting while she worked as a ring girl and he was commentating on a match. Following in his dad’s footsteps, 36 year old Shane is now a boxing coach and owns a gym in South West London where he trains rising stars like Chantelle Cameron, George Groves, Carl Frampton and Lee McGregor. According to an insider speaking to The Sun: “Maura has brains and beauty, and she quickly caught Shane’s eye.”
“They went on a few dates and had fun, but Maura lives in Ireland, Shane is running his successful boxing gym in London, and then she was travelling for work so it wasn’t easy to pull off,” reports the Express. The source revealed: “There were no hard feelings when it ended. It turned out to be short lived and the spark fizzled out.”
