ITV I'm A Celebrity star 'won't last' as she's tipped to quit by worried co-star

There were two new arrivals on I'm A Celebrity on Thursday, and one immediately sparked exit fears.

GK Barry was left concerned for newcomer Maura Higgins after seemingly finding her in a bad way. The social media star predicted an early exit for the Love Island favourite too, questioning if she would quit the show a day in.

Of course GK, real name Grace, had no idea that Maura's apparent camp situation was not real. GK and Coleen Rooney had been tasked with going off to meet the new campmates, who apparently had to do chores to earn their place in the main camp.

Maura and fellow newcomer Reverend Richard Coles were met by hosts Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly after their arrival, and were told they had a secret mission to complete. If successful they would win a prize for camp, but they could not let anyone find out what was really going on.

Maura and Richard arrived at a basic camp, but soon Ant and Dec revealed “all is not what it seems”. With that the camp transformed into something a little more luxurious, with Maura and Richard tasked with hiding this from the other campmates.

They had to pretend they were roughing it up in the basic camp on basic food rations, with no bed or any comforts. They also had to go along with the act that they were doing chores for them to secure their place in the main camp.

So when GK and Coleen had to attend the Jungle junkyard to deliver their washing up, the newcomers had to quickly get into performance mode. Maura and Richard feigned they were having a terrible time, before requesting a bed from the main camp to avoid sleeping on the floor.

As Coleen and GK left, it was clear they had been won over and believed their lies. Coleen told her co-star: "I feel bad leaving them there." it's then that GK shared no faith in Maura, admitting she thought she would walk sooner rather than later.

Commenting at the main camp, Coleen compared the basic camp to prison. She told her jungle pals: "It’s like a jail” as GK added: "I don’t know if Maura is going to last…"

Maura isn't the only one sparking exit fears though, with Dean McCullough tipped to walk for the past few days after his terror ordeal at the first and second trial, with the third now also ending badly.

Taking to X, one fan posted: "Mate mark my words Dean will be the first to walk." Another viewer commented: "Dean is not gonna last," as a third posted: "Shocked Dean has not quit already."

I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! airs every night at 9PM on ITV1 and ITV X.
