Maura Higgins outraged by outrageous toilet fees on I'm A Celeb

In the latest episode of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! filmed in Australia, contestants faced an unprecedented challenge regarding basic amenities. After successfully completing a bushtucker trial known as the Rank Bank, which involved some rather unpleasant tasks, the celebrities were introduced to a new camp setup. They received 'jungle cash cards' that required them to pay for everyday essentials, including using the toilet, shower, pool, and bath, each costing $10. Maura Higgins, a former contestant from Love Island, and fellow influencer GK Barry, expressed frustration at the new charges, which they found exorbitant. Maura's concerns escalated when she and GK approached the turnstiles for the toilet. Their dialogue illustrated the absurdity they felt; paying $10 to relieve oneself was described as 'extremely expensive' and 'absolutely scandalous' by Maura. This new system was not without its challenges, as the campmates also had to complete a very difficult trial to earn this 'jungle cash.' Many felt the pricing on basic needs was akin to a luxury experience rather than a survival challenge. The episode also highlighted the dynamics between the contestants as they strategized to accumulate money for their campmates. One notable performance came from Alan, who managed to earn $1,100 for his group in the trial. However, this financial accomplishment was overshadowed by the realization that basic needs would now require cash. The introduction of a vending wall for filtered water and logs for fire, also priced at $10, further underscored the financial burdens placed upon the celebrities. Amidst their struggles with increased pricing, Maura, Richard, and Jane engaged in a further challenge with the hope of earning more money for their team. They collectively managed to earn additional funds, illustrating the competitive spirit that remains vital in the game. As the tension over the costs of amenities grew, their camaraderie was tested, prompting reflections on the lengths they would go to for the sake of survival in the jungle. The episode ended with the group enjoying a modest eight-star dinner, highlighting the realities faced by celebrities while competing in the series.
