ITV I'm A Celebrity feud erupts as Olivia Attwood takes savage swipe at Maura Higgins

Maura Higgins recently confessed to getting revenge on her cheating ex-boyfriend - and it appears it has not gone down well with her former ITV I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! campmate Olivia Attwood

A surprising feud has appeared to have erupted on I'm A Celebrity as Olivia Attwood seems to have taken a heated jab at Maura Higgins.

Former campmate Olivia, 33, who left the jungle after just 48 hours in 2022, hinted to fans that she was harbouring a secret that would "blow your f***ing mind", accusing someone of imitation and copying her every move.

Although it has not yet confirmed who Olivia was targeting on her Instagram stories, her online tirade comes shortly after Maura, 34, - who recently joined the same PR firm as Olivia - admitted to exacting revenge on her unfaithful ex-boyfriend.

Sharing the cryptic message with her millions of followers, Olivia wrote: "One day I'm going to write a book and some of the stuff I have managed to keep quiet on over the years. It will blow your f***ing mind. You can try to hire all the same people, regurgitate my stories as your own, study the playbook, follow the recipe blah blah blah, but it will NEVER taste the same. That's all."

After Olivia's savage post, a close friend has shared why the star decided to break her silence on the rift now. Olivia reportedly believes that Maura is trying to use the 'same script' that she did to earn her incredible success - including her reasons for entering Love Island.

Earlier this year, Olivia shared how her now-husband Bradley Dack's infidelity motivated her to enter the Love Island villa. Speaking to the Daily Mail, Olivia said: "I wanted to get back at my ex-bad boyfriend Bradley, and it worked. I turned down series three initially - until I found out Brad was seeing his ex-girlfriend. I thought, 'Oh my gosh, I can't actually believe this has happened to me again. What am I actually doing?'

"Anyone who has been cheated on knows it's just the most horrible thing. Brad and I hadn't met each other's families at that point but we were dating. I was deeply shocked," she said.

In an episode of I'm A Celebrity this week, Irish star Maura told her campmates that she too went on Love Island to seek revenge from a sleazy ex who had cheated on her. Maura - who is currently romantically linked to The Only Way Is Essex and Strictly Come Dancing star Pete Wicks - got revenge on the man before she broke things off to jet to Love Island. The brunette beauty told fellow campmates Jane Moore and Danny Jones about her story of betrayal and personal justice.

When Jane asked Maura how she came to be on Love Island, the Irish star explained: “So I had a boyfriend at the time” - and went on to detail how she went through his phone and made some devastating discoveries which left her feeling she "didn't know him at all". She then revealed: “I had a plan and no word of a lie, when he went to the gym the next day I got his toothbrush and I filmed myself scrubbing in the verges [of the toilet], he had a dentist appointment that day."

She also announced: "I considered taking a dump on it." Her fellow campmates were stunned by her confession - and Danny exclaimed: “You don’t wanna mess with Maura!" Maura then revealed that the incident fuelled her to give her all inside the villa. She said: “I went in like a bull in a china shop because I was so angry about that whole thing."

However, Olivia's pals reckon that Maura could have potentially bended the truth in telling her story about why she decided to go on Love Island - given that she had previously attributed the same story to her break up with Curtis Pritchard.

The source told the publication: "A lot of people are feeling confused by the story Maura told on Sunday night's episode of I'm A Celeb and wonder if she's telling tales for airtime.

"She explained to her campmates that she signed up to Love Island to get revenge on an ex-boyfriend who was unfaithful and how she used his toothbrush to clean the toilet. But she said the same when she split from Curtis Pritchard, alleging to her followers she used his toothbrush to clean the bog following their 2020 breakup.

"Olivia was cast on Love Island, seeking revenge on Bradley Dack, which worked out in the best way possible as now they're happily married. There's definitely a feeling Maura is attempting to carve out her career using Olivia's incredible success as a guide."

Olivia featured in the third series of Love Island in 2017, while Maura joined the show in 2019. Both reality TV stars have previously worked as models and Ring Girls before moving into presenting roles after finding fame on Love Island.
