Maura Higgins has been snapped enjoying what looked like a last date with Pete Wicks before she heads to Australia for I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!
The Love Island beauty is thought to be jetting Down Under for the upcoming series of Ant and Dec’s reality show, although she is not in the first crop of campers announced for this year’s jungle camp. With just days to go before the ITV series gets under way, she headed on a night out with Strictly Come Dancing star Pete.
The pair have been romantically linked of late and looked cute together as they went to see pianist Ludovico Einaudi at the London Palladium. TOWIE star Pete looked smart in a black suit and polo neck, while Maura dazzled in a form-fitting black waistcoat that flaunted her trim frame and a short ruffled white skirt that highlighted her endless legs.

Her long brunette locks had been styled into a chic centre parting and she was clutching a tiny bag and her phone as she walked into the show beside Pete. Black heels and some eye-catching bracelets completed her glam look.
Rumours of a romance between Maura and Pete have been around for some time. The reality TV stars haven’t said too much about whether they are in a relationship but Maura did recently share on the We Need To Talk podcast that they “get on very, very well”. “I adore him, he is an amazing person,” she said of Pete, adding that they were “friends”.
“Do you know what's so weird?" she went on during the interview. "We met very soon after me coming off the show (Love Island) and we just instantly clicked." Maura said that she and Pete have the same sense of humour.
"It's like that sick, dark humour," she said. "It's very abusive. We abuse each other. Very nasty, it's hilarious.”
This year’s official I’m A Celebrity campers include WAG Coleen Rooney, social media star GK Barry, boxing legend Barry McGuigan and actor Alan Halsall. Other stars set to brave the Bushtuckers and basic rations include former Strictly star Oti Mabuse, N-Dubz star Tulisa and Loose Women's Jane Moore. Maura is also expected to be heading into camp, along with the Rev Richard Coles.
The series starts on November 17.
