I'm A Celebrity star Maura Higgins' surprise connection to Barry McGuigan as they prepare for awkward reunion


I'm A Celebrity star Barry McGuigan will come face-to-face with his son Shane McGuigan's ex-girlfriend when they enter the jungle, as the full line-up was confirmed

However, tonight's episode will see Love Island star Maura Higgins make her late entry on the show as one of the new campmates. 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.
