The reality TV personality appeared emotional after she was praised by Ant and Dec
MAURA Higgins broke down in tears over facing her fears on I'm A Celebrity.
The former Love Island finalist was sent to face the next Bushtucker Trial alongside our very own Jane Moore.
Maura , 34, was one of two stars who were chosen by viewers to face 'Fright at the end of the tunnel' .
Our Jane, 62, also learned that she received the most votes from the public and would face the challenge alongside the Dancing On Ice competitor.
It seemed their fellow campmates had high hoped for the pair to get stars and bring home meals for camp.
Fellow Loose Women star GK Barry even claimed that our jungle supremo Jane even 'wanted' to do one of the infamous trials.
Her colleague commented: "This woman is going to sleep so peacefully tonight, she’s wanted to do a Trial since she got here and I know she’s gonna absolutely smash it."
However, whilst Jane displayed her nerves of steel, former Dancing On Ice star Maura was feeling differently.
The nervous star admitted: “I’m petrified, I just don’t want to let everyone down.”
Ant and Dec were waiting for the pair at the trial clearing where he reflected on the Fright Bus the night before.
He observed: "You’re probably the screamiest bunch of celebrities we’ve ever had on this show!"
The long-time I'm A Celebrity presenting duo then explained the rules of the trial, telling the celebs about the two tunnels.
Secret code words were hidden in the tunnel that was above ground and the chosen celebrity would need to find them and read them out.
The campmate swimming underwater would have to use the code words to unlock the stars.
Maura chose to crawl above ground whilst our Jane took to the water for a swim below ground.
They had just 12 minutes to collect 12 stars after the klaxon sounded, as Maura got to work.
She searched through the sand on the floor for each part of the hidden code words.
But in each section, she was joined by a series of uninvited guests which included toads, lizards and her biggest fear.
She desperately tried to stay strong as she faced her worst nightmare in the form of spiders.
Jane's goggles kept steaming up as she valiantly tried to keep her head underwater for the time needed to unlock the stars.
Despite the extremely challenging nature of the trial, the duo still managed to win six out of twelve available stars.
The duo also received praise by Ant and Dec who remarked: "That was a very, very tough Trial.
"So I think you did remarkably the pair of you, you should both be very proud."
On the way back to camp, Maura couldn't hide her emotions as she broke down in tears as Jane comforted her co-star.
