Turning 34 in the wild Aussie jungle might not sound like the typical birthday celebration, but Love Island star Maura Higgins embraced every moment—freezing showers and all. In Monday’s episode of I’m A Celebrity, Maura marked her milestone in a signature jungle style, braving icy waters in a chic black bikini adorned with floral details.
Her reactions? Utterly relatable. As the cold water hit, fellow campmate GK offered some sympathy, quipping, “It’s horrid, isn’t it?” Maura’s response—a mix of shrieks and laughter—captured the fun chaos of her jungle experience. Despite the chilly start, she reflected warmly on the day, calling it a birthday she’d “never, ever forget.”

The jungle festivities didn’t stop at the shower. Campmates rallied to make Maura’s day special, even as she tackled the unglamorous chore of cleaning the dunny with Coleen Rooney. Maura joked before her jungle adventure that she might skip showers altogether due to her fear of freezing water. But her bold splash proved otherwise, earning her a place among the show’s iconic jungle shower moments.
Meanwhile, Tulisa’s morning started with an unexpected wake-up call, courtesy of musical theatre tunes arranged by Dean—a playful rebellion against her “no musical mornings” rule. It added a lively twist to a day filled with birthday hugs, quirky tasks, and survival camaraderie.
Despite prior claims from the show’s producers about toned-down shower scenes, Maura’s birthday dip was a nod to the jungle’s classic glam moments. From the legendary Myleene Klass to this year’s daring dives, the jungle shower remains an enduring highlight of I’m A Celebrity.
As Maura herself put it, this was a birthday like no other—frozen toes and all.
