She also insisted she is single – despite rumors of a romance with Strictly’s Pete Wicks.
Irish star Maura, 33, told The Sun yesterday: “I’m still on Vegas time. I’m not well
“Sin City killed me. Honestly, it’s not good. I feel like your man from The Hangover, like, shaking and all.
“It was amazing, just very exhausting. It was like, right, a lot on . . . when we landed, just jet lag, no sleep.

“I have no idea what day it is today. I don’t know where I am, I’m so confused.”
She added: “I don’t really drink champagne, I’m more of a red wine drinker.” You know, it gives you a bad hangover.”
In Vegas, she partied with Loose Women’s Stacey Solomon and watched Adele at her Caesars Palace residence before jetting off to Oz, where she landed on Monday.
Despite Maura having a great time, some of her fans weren’t too happy about the trip.
She said: “My DMs were ‘Why are you in Vegas? You should be in Australia. I bet you’d win the show!’ “
She will enter the jungle as a latecomer alongside former Strictly star Reverend Richard Coles, 62.

She’s caused quite a stir in recent months after she was caught cozying up to heartthrob Pete.
It seems that the former Towie dude (36) has found himself in a love triangle with Maura and his dance partner Jowita Przystal (30), with whom he became close
But when asked about her relationship with Pete, Maura insisted: “I’m not, I’m not. Where did you hear that?
“I mean, I go on dates, but I’m mostly alone.”
When asked if she had been on a date with Pete, she laughed: “I mean, I’ve been on a date with a lot of people.”

Maura rose to fame on Love Island in 2019 when she arrived as a bombshell on the ITV2 dating show.
She immediately bristled and sparked hundreds of Ofcom complaints after she stepped on and tried to kiss boxer Tommy Fury when he was partnered with influencer Molly-Mae Hague.
Fans loved her fiery, honest personality — and she’ll be bringing that attitude straight to the I’m A Celebrity camp.
Maura said, “I mean, I’m not going to go in and destroy anybody.
“But obviously, if someone gets on my nerves, I’m not one of those people who can hold it back. I speak my mind.
“I think I’ve matured, but I still have a small mouth.”
She also joins the ranks of campaigners desperate to question Wayne Rooney’s wife, Coleen, 38, about the Wagatha Christie saga.
Maura said, “I want to talk to her about it. I’m a little curious like that.”

Reverend Richard Coles – Former BBC radio presenter Reverend Richard Coles is late for I’m A Celebrity and is ready to spill the beans about his former employer. The former Communards and Strictly star said the BBC didn’t know its a**e from its elbow last year. An insider said: “Rev Coles will have a variety of stories to tell from his wild days as a pop star in the Eighties, to his appearances on Strictly and his later life as a man of the cloth.”
Meanwhile, Reverend Coles will be praying he won’t be forced to work on the height challenge.
The 62-year-old former pop star and pastor is terrified of heights and says he will “absolutely” call on his faith to help him with his tasks.
Admitting which temptations he is most afraid of, he said: “Everything at a high level.”
“I actually froze with fear on the ladder the other day.
“So anything that involves walking on some horrible, wobbly tightrope or something.”
