Maura Higgins, known for her stint on ‘I’m A Celebrity,’ is reportedly feeling the heat after a controversial moment caught on camera with McFly’s Danny Jones. Friends close to Higgins have shared that she’s been left in a ‘bad way’ and is really struggling with the intense scrutiny following their encounter at the BRIT Awards. Despite the storm brewing around her, Higgins has flown out to Los Angeles for a planned photoshoot, but it hasn’t been the escape she hoped for.

According to those in her inner circle, the backlash has been brutal. “Maura is a tough character, but the reaction to events of the last week has been utterly relentless, and it’s fair to say it’s taken its toll. She has found all of this very difficult to navigate. She appreciates she’s in the public eye, and there is extra interest around her, but the abuse is off the charts, and people need to calm down,” shared a source with The Mirror.
