Maura Higgins first words about Pete Wicks after I’m A Celeb exit revealed after she admitted they’re dating

MAURA Higgins' first words about Pete Wicks after leaving the I'm a Celebrity jungle have been revealed.

The 34-year-old confirmed her romance with Strictly star Pete, 36, during her time in the I'm a Celebrity jungle after months of speculation.

And it didn't take her long to ask about him after leaving the show.

In tomorrow night's Coming Out show, Maura is seen asking her pal about his Strictly progress as she says: "Is Pete still in the show?"

She later adds: "If you’re missing someone, you’re missing someone and it comes out. And I do, I miss him. Yeah, I really do miss him.”

Pete and Maura were snapped snogging earlier this year and she opened up about the photos during a chat with campmate GK Barry.

She said: "Well we’ve already been papped, tongues down each other’s necks and we had no idea!

"The funniest part was I had a vape in one hand and a cigarette in the other, living my best life."

Today Maura and Pete were spotted on their first date since being reunited.

And host Alison Hammond mentioned Pete during a segment on This Morning following Maura's jungle exit and she said: "It didn't take it long to ask you that question did it?!

"Do you know what, you forget about the cameras, I do like to keep things private.

"I said I miss him, I do miss him…"

She then giggled and said: "Like I miss all my friends and family."
