Maura Higgins confirms she has been selected as the new co-host of the U.S. edition of “I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here,” according to the outlet reporting on her announcement.

The reporting also notes that the confirmation comes shortly after Higgins was announced as host of the “Blind Date” reboot. Together, the developments are presented as part of what multiple articles describe as her broader move into American television, with her taking on roles in more than one U.S. program within a short period.

Both sources frame the update as a continuation of Higgins’ expanding presence in the U.S. entertainment market, with the emphasis on the timing between the “Blind Date” announcement and the “I’m A Celebrity” hosting news. They do not provide additional specifics beyond her confirmed role and the close succession of the two projects.
