Maura Higgins' Surprise on I'm A Celebrity's Fright Bus Trial

Maura Higgins' Initial Panic

Maura Higgins was clearly baffled as soon as she heard about the Fright Bus trial. She couldn't help but ask, "Do you think there is gonna be bugs?" Her concern was palpable as she held her head in her hands and fretted. This reaction stunned viewers who were accustomed to the show's jungle critter trials. One fan pointed out on X, "'Is there going to be bugs?' Maura babes you're in the jungle on I'm A Celeb." It became clear that her surprise was not well-received by some viewers who questioned her expectations. Another confused fan asked, "Maura it's I'm A Celeb what did you expect?" Clearly, her initial panic set the tone for the rest of the trial.

The Campers' Speculations

Before the Fright Bus trial was announced, the campers had been speculating about a possible party and even cake. However, when the reality of the trial hit, their hopes were dashed. Clapping her hands to her face, Maura Higgins expressed her fear, saying, "Oh no guys, I can't do that with the bugs!" She then turned to her fellow contestants and asked, "Do you think there is gonna be bugs? Do you think there is gonna be spiders?" Establishing that she would be sitting next to Barry McGuigan on the bus, she further inquired, "Are you good with bugs Barry? I'm not!" This showed the uncertainty and fear that gripped the campers as they prepared for the trial.

The Fright Bus Challenge

As the celebs clambered aboard the Fright Bus, they were told that they could each win a piece of luggage filled with holiday essentials and treats. To achieve this, they had to work within their rows of three and escape the bus from the front to the back, where Maura Higgins was seated. Each team of three had to pass their row's challenge to get off. Viewers were on the edge of their seats as they watched the tense challenge unfold. Only a few seconds aired, showing critters covering some of the screaming passengers. This brief glimpse only added to the mystery and excitement of what happened on the Fright Bus. The show then ended, leaving viewers eager to see more in Tuesday's instalment from the Aussie jungle.I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! airs nightly on ITV1 at 9pm, and streams on ITVX.
