Inside Maura Higgins' terrifying health scare that could have killed her as she prepares to enter the I'm A Celebrity jungle


Maura Higgins has previously revealed that she nearly died from toxic shock syndrome (TSS) after a tampon was stuck inside her for three months.

Appearing on Shopping with Keith Lemon in 2022, the former Love Island star, 33, - who is set to enter the I'm A Celebrity Jungle as a latecomer this week - detailed her 'very bad experience' in a bid to warn others of the risks. It was revealed by the Mail that Pete was planning to make a trip Down Under if he was booted off Strictly early to support his best friend, Sam Thompson, who is presenting the ITV spin-off show, and Maura. The Irish television personality will enter the I'm A Celebrity jungle on Thursday night as a late arrival alongside the Communards musician turned priest Reverend Richard Coles, joining her friend and former X-Factor judge, Tulisa Contostavlos, 36, and Coleen Rooney, 39.
