Maura Higgins 'forced to rename her reality show over legal row'

This all comes as a source claims Charlotte's made several attempts to join the UK version of the show, only to be rejected due to a reported ban on reality stars.

An insider told The Sun: "Charlotte’s team have tried to get her onto I’m A Celebrity for years but they’ve always turned her down.

"When they used to feature reality stars she was either not famous enough or too late to the party.

"And after they put their ban in place a few years back, she was told it was impossible.

"Now she’s taking part in the Aussie version and she can’t wait. Charlotte is a huge name in Australia and they love her out there, so she’s easily favourite to win already."
