Amy Hart is expecting her fellow Love Island star Maura Higgins to be a huge success in the I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here jungle.
While the pair may have been love rivals during season five of the dating series in 2019, Amy, 31, believes her Irish counterpart has all the attributes to succeed Down Under. In fact, she has tipped Maura to go all the way on be crowned Queen of the Jungle in December.
Speaking exclusively to the Mirror, Amy said: "I'm really excited to see her [Maura] go in there. She's gonna be so great. I think she'll probably win. Yeah."

And Amy also once again put her name in the hat for any future series of the reality TV contest. She had previously volunteered to be a contestant, and now, despite recently marrying and having a child, she admits she's still keen to give it a go: "I would love to do anything that's a new experience, something that you wouldn't get anywhere else. So I think I'm A Celebrity, Strictly, obviously, MasterChef, Celebrity Big Brother. I'm a big lover of reality TV. And obviously I'm not eligible for Love Island All Stars."
Amy was speaking as she teamed up with O2 to unveil a new fraud prevention method named Daisy. The state-of-the-art AI Granny's mission is to talk with fraudsters and waste as much of their time as possible with human-like rambling chat to keep them away from real people, while highlighting the need for consumers to stay vigilant as the UK faces a fraud epidemic.
Daisy combines various AI models which work together to first listen to the caller and transcribe their voice into text. Appropriate responses are then generated through a custom large language model complete with a character ‘personality’ layer, and then fed back through a custom AI text-to-speech model to generate a voice answer. This takes place in real time, allowing the tool to hold a human-like conversation with a caller.
Amy herself admitted she was scammed for £5,000 in a matter of minutes and now wants to help others avoid being stung in such a way.
Amy also said she is desperate to break the stigma surrounded talking about scams. She said: "Because there's so much about scamming in the press, people think it's just stupid people that get scammed. People are probably very embarrassed to tell people, and that's why I am sharing my story, to try and take the stigma away as well."
Speaking of her experience she said she was "so worried" as she thought those who scammed her might be able to clear her bank account. "When I was on the phone being scammed, because of the pressure tactics they use, your heart rate heightens and you're hot, sweating and talking really fast. And then as soon as you get off the phone, you realise you've been scammed. It's like a deathly silence, and you're like, I cannot believe that's just happened, and everything sort of goes into like slow motion. It was awful."
