Reverend Richard Coles was the first to be unveiled who joked that being in the I’m a Celebrity jungle would be a breeze after “two years of my life living in a monastery”.

Opening up on his fears, he admitted: “I’m not good at heights, I can barely go two steps on the stepladder without getting the heebie-jeebies.”

Entering alongside Richard is reality TV star Maura Higgins, best known for appearing on Love Island in 2019.

The model and TV presenter has some nerves ahead of her jungle debut, admitting she feels “it’s a bit scarier going in later” because everyone has already started to bond.

A self-confessed “clean freak”, Maura also stated that she doesn’t “want to eat testicles on TV”.

“This is the only TV show I have ever wanted to do, and it’s a real pinch-me moment,” she said of her new challenge. “I am ready to step outside my comfort zone.

“I hope I do make myself proud, and I am both excited but also very nervous, because I am scared of absolutely everything.”

I’m a Celebrity hosts Ant and Dec confirmed that Maura and Richard will enter and be living in a “separate camp and tasked with a secret mission”.

Viewers will have to tune in to tomorrow night’s show to see what’s in store for the two new additions.

I’m a Celebrity… airs on ITV1 and ITVX.
