When Priest Richard pressed her about the exclusivity of the relationship, Maura looked thoughtful and said “I don’t know.”
He continued digging for more information, asking, “What are the rules?”
Maura burst into nervous laughter, admitting, “I don’t know the rules! I don’t know the rules.”
However, she shyly admitted that her mystery man is someone recognizable.
As the conversation progressed, Maura admitted that she missed him during her time in the jungle.
She admitted: “There is [feel different this time]but is that because we’ve known each other for a long time?”
She added with a smile: “He’s not a sh**.”
Maura’s comments follow months of speculation about her relationship with Pete Wicks, which was first revealed by The Sun.
The duo began chatting earlier this year after they were spotted kissing at several high-profile events, including the Pride of Britain Awards.
The paparazzi also filmed them on a cozy date in the London hotspot Gloria, where they were “all over each other”.

However, before Maura left for the jungle, a source revealed that she put their romance on hold because of Pete’s reputation and his rumored closeness to Strictly Come Dancing partner Jowita Przystal.
They told MailOnline: “She gave him an ultimatum: commit to her or let it go.
“So she went from a single woman.”
The insider now suggests that Pete has stepped up, “opening up about his feelings” for Maura, while putting his flirtation rumors to rest in the meantime.
While Maura remains tight-lipped about the future of their relationship, her campfire confession hints at deeper feelings.
Fans will no doubt be eagerly waiting to see if their romance will be rekindled when she leaves the jungle – or even if Pete will meet her on the famous bridge.
