Barry McGuigan is best known for his boxing career, but his son Shane is making a name for himself too - and he's opened up about his past romance with I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! star Maura Higgins

Before shooting to fame on Love Island, 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. 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.
