I’m A Celebrity fans were in hysterics as Maura Higgins said she ‘recommended sleeping with a priest’ during Friday night’s episode.
The former Love Island star, 33, had to share a bed with Richard Reverend Coles, 62, in the Jungle Junkyard as they continue their top secret missions.
After already joking ‘she never thought she’d sleep with a vicar’, Maura said she ‘slept like a baby’ while lying next to Richard.
The new comers are having to convince their 10 campmates they are living in a basic camp, called Jungle Junkyard, that contains overgrown greenery and zero luxury, rather than the main camp.
However, the pair have actually got luxurious double bed, a hidden large sofa, a large bathtub with bubbles, bath salts and hot water.
The pair were also treated to a red chest which had a gas cooker and a hidden fridge door, stocked with fruit smoothies and a fruit platter.
