Maura Higgins has left fans confused as she posed up a storm in Las Vegas this week, despite the reality star rumoured to be heading Down Under as a late arrival to I'm A Celeb. The 33-year-old shared a carousel of pictures on Monday (19 November) from her trip to Sin City with brand Space NK, who also took along stars such as Stacey Solomon and Love Island's Lana Jenkins.

Sharing gorgeous pictures from the fun-filled trip, Maura wrote: "A trip I will cherish forever Thankyou @spacenk for these incredible few days…it really was the trip of a lifetime! Met some of the most kindest beautiful people, a group I can now call friends for life. I Love you all x".

The star's escapades in Vegas have left many worried that she has quit ITV's I'm A Celeb, which kicked off on Sunday evening (17 November) and hasn't made any mention of Maura yet. "Thought you was going in I’m a celebrity get me out of here," wrote a confused fan on the post.

While others were convinced by her recent posts that she won't be on the show, as one user wrote: "i don't think shes going in the jungle," and another said: "SHE AINT GOING IN THE BLOODY JUNGLE!!!! ITS VERY CLEAR THAT SHE ISNT".

However, a source recently told MailOnline that Maura will still be joining stars such as Coleen Rooney and Danny Jones in the jungle, with her arrival all planned. They said: "She will be arriving this week. The brand trip was always part of the schedule as Maura had agreed to it and it fit into her arrival dates for the Jungle."

Maura is expected to enter the show alongside Rev. Richard Coles, another late arrival to camp. Recently, Maura's former Love Island co-star Amy Hart gushed that she expected the Irish beauty to be crowned queen of the jungle.

Chatting exclusively with the Mirror, Amy gushed: "I'm really excited to see her [Maura] go in there. She's gonna be so great. I think she'll probably win. Yeah."

When pressed for more insight, Amy, who was married earlier this year in a wedding covered by OK!, continued: "People love her, don't they? And she's just so funny. And I think she'll throw herself into it. She doesn't do things by half. I think she'll throw herself into it, and people will love that."

And it seems Amy hasn't given up on her own reality TV dreams either. Having previously expressed interest in joining the jungle lineup, she reiterated her enthusiasm despite recent life changes like marriage and motherhood. She said she would "love to do anything that's a new experience."
