On Sunday's episode of I'm a Celebrity, Maura Higgins revealed the shocking reason she went on Love Island back in 2019.

The latest arrival into the Australian jungle opened up about how she ended up on the reality dating show to her fellow campmates.

Maura explained how she had a boyfriend at the time when she was offered the opportunity to go on Love Island but told her best friend she "really liked him" so wasn't going to break up with him to go on a TV show.

However, she changed her mind when she was scrolling through his phone and found he had a different life he had hidden from her.

She said: "I didn't have a clue who that man was."

Instead of confronting him, she decided to get "revenge".

Maura shared: "I had a plan and no word of a lie, when he went to the gym the next day I got his toothbrush and I filmed myself scrubbing in the verges."

She added: "He had a dentist appointment that day."
