Things got tense between Maura Higgins and Jane Moore during Tuesday night’s tough Bushtucker trial.
The Love Island star, 34, and the Loose Women presenter, 62, learned they had received the most votes and would therefore face Fright At The End of The Tunnel together.
The celebrity on the surface would need to find the secret keywords hidden in their tunnel, reading them to the celebrity underground, who would be underwater and would need to use the keywords to unlock the stars.
Maura took the surface tunnel and Jane took the underground tunnel.
And during the tense trial, Maura shouted ‘you moron!’ to Jane, after she seemed to have trouble with Maura’s Irish accent when it came to spelling the word Boat.
Maura spelled the word clearly and loudly, but Jane couldn’t understand that she was saying the letter “A.”

With 12 minutes to collect 12 stars, the siren sounded and Maura had to move through the tunnels, searching the sand on each part’s floor for hidden codewords, while joining a different guest in each, including toads, lizards and their worst fear: spiders.
Meanwhile, Jane swam through the water tunnels, but ran into trouble with the water element when her glasses fogged up and she struggled to keep her head underwater long enough to unlock the stars.
In the end, Jane and Maura earned 6 out of 12 stars for the camp and were praised by Ant and Dec, who said: “That was a very, very difficult test so I think they both did very well, they both should do it.” . Be very proud.’
