‘This feels like a fix. I reckon Oti was low in the voting and she somehow had a ‘technique’ that helped her win?’;
‘For a bit, it felt like producers may have been trying to rig it for either Maura and Coleen to get through but didn’t expect Oti to be smarter at figuring it out’.
However others were overjoyed that Oti had won as they added: ‘I am so glad Oti won the golden ticket, she really deserves that’.
Meanwhile Maura was met by her friend Talia off the bridge because her ‘Mammy’ Sharon was unable to make the 22-hour flight Down Under.

When asked if she and the TOWIE, 39, were exclusively dating, she revealed she didn’t know but this relationship felt ‘different because we’ve known each other for so long’.
Later on the spin off show Sam Thompson, who is Pete Wicks’s best friend, teased: ‘Just say Pete, we all know that’s who you’ve missed most. We’ve all been talking about it. All I can say is, welcome to the family.’
It came as sources close to Wicks told the Mail on Sunday that he had ended his ‘fling’ with his Strictly partner, Jowita Przystal, to ‘try and win Maura back’ who he is ‘smitten’ about.
A friend said: ‘Before Maura entered the jungle, Pete wanted to make their relationship exclusive but Maura, aware of Pete’s reputation and his close bond with Jowita, decided to slow things down. She gave him an ultimatum: either commit to her or let it go and she went to the Jungle as a single woman.’
Since then, the reality TV lothario has gone all-in, openly expressing his feelings to anyone who’ll listen and is showing his support for her on his Instagram page by asking people to vote for Maura.
Meanwhile, her mother Sharon, who Maura has called her ‘therapist’, said she ‘didn’t know anything’ about Pete and that he was ‘just some friend of Maura’s’.
