And while Maura would have usually spent her birthday surrounded by her loved ones have a nice time, she spent her celebrations screaming in terror as she braved the creepy crawlies in the latest jungle challenge. 

During her birthday episode, Maura and her campers were seen braving the Freight Bus which was infested with a plague of insects. 

But as the celebs took to the designated seats and braved rounds of insects being dumped over their heads Barry was seen powering through in determination to bag one of the prized bags at the front of the bus. 

However, some campers such as N-Dubz’s Tulisa and  Maura were not handling it all too well and started screaming in terror through the empty forest as they were left battling bushes of green ants. 

As a reward for their efforts each celeb got to pick up a bag filled of surprises.

One of which contained a disposable camera, a simple piece of technology from the nougthies that Maura claimed to not know how to use.

And this wasn’t the only time Maura was left screaming in terror as she was left fighting back tears as she faces her fears in an explosive first look at the next Bushtucker Trial with Jane Moore.

Later during the episode Maura, 34, and Loose Women panellist Jane, 62, took part in the Fright at the End of the Tunnel.

The task saw the pair put their communication skills to the test as they try to navigate a complex series of pipelines full of creepy crawlies.

While Maura had to crawl on their hands and knees through one tunnel, Jane had to swim through underwater tunnels.

The pair then had to complete word code challenge to crack open various locks to secure the stars for their camp mates.

Maura shrieked in freight as she got up close and personal with spiders inside a cramped tunnel.

‘Spiders! Jane, I don’t know if I can do it. There’s an awful amount of spiders,’ the Irish influencer squealed.

Host Declan Donnelly chimes in with some words of support, saying: ‘Just take it nice and easy Maura. Just keep breathing.’

To which Maura replied: ‘Oh my God. No, no, no, no. I can’t!’

Prompting some sterner advice from Ant McPartlin, who said: ‘Maura, for Jane to move on, you have to move on. It’s as simple as that.’

As she curled up in a ball and covers her face, Jane is seen trapped underwater in a giant tank.

Despite their efforts they only managed to secure six stars for camp.
