Maura Higgins declares she is SINGLE in major slap in the face to love interest Pete Wicks - as bikini-clad reality star finally prepares to start her I'm A Celeb... journey


It appears Mr Wicks's reported 'inability to commit' to either woman has led Ms Higgins to definitively state 'I'm single' when asked whether she was dating him.

The rebuff comes just days after Mr Wicks, 36, and the Love Island star, 33, enjoyed a date night last week before she jetted off to Australia ahead of her entry into the I'm A Celebrity jungle on Thursday. It was revealed by the Mail that Mr Wicks 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 Ms Higgins. 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.
