Maura's Statements in the Jungle
After her elimination from "I'm a Celebrity" yesterday (December 5), Maura appeared on "This Morning". Presenter Alison Hammond asked her about what would happen with her and Pete when she returned to the UK. Maura replied, "I do miss him – like I missed all my friends and family! Honestly, he's been so supportive… Honestly, I didn't know if he was still in Strictly, I'm so proud of him and he's proud of me and I can't wait to see him when I get back." Alison also jokingly asked if she could be a bridesmaid, to which Maura quipped, "You can be a bridesmaid Alison, OK, for god's sake!"During her time in the jungle, Pete showed his support for Maura. Maura also spoke about the press speculation surrounding the pair. She said, "You know more than me! No, I'm single, not in a relationship. People can date, not be in a relationship and take things slow without the media getting involved in your shit. What's the point in getting them involved too soon, when you just don't know where it's gonna go, you know?"Maura also joked about their viral kiss, saying, "Well, we've already been papped, tongues down each other's necks, and we had no idea! The funniest part is I had a vape in one hand and a cigarette in the other, living my best life before the jungle.""I'm a Celebrity…" airs on ITV1 and ITVX.
