Maura Higgins shared her fury at having to pay to use the toilet on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!, calling the move ‘absolutely scandalous’.
The celebrities had to adjust to a whole new camp during Thursday’s episode after winning jungle money in the gag-inducing Rank Bank bushtucker trial.
They were given ‘jungle cash cards’ to access basic amenities, which meant that using the toilet, shower, pool and bath cost a whopping $10.
As Maura, 34, and influencer GK Barry, 25, approached the turnstiles to access the toilet, Maura asked: ‘What if we cheat and something happens?’
GK replied: ‘That’s what I’m thinking. More money.’
‘Are we risking it or not?’ Love Island alum Maura asked.
Maura Higgins shared her fury at having to pay to use the toilets in the I’m A Celebrity camp
Maura and GK Barry used a jungle cash card to pay $10 to get through the toilet turnstiles
GK reasoned, ‘I mean, it’s only $10,’ to which Maura shot back: ‘That’s an expensive p**s!’
‘Extremely expensive,’ GK agreed, before using her jungle card to get through the turnstile.
Speaking in the Bush Telegraph later, Maura raged: ‘Scandalous! Absolutely scandalous!’
‘It’s 10 dollars to take a p**s! I guess $500 is a lot but I just don’t know how long that’s going to last.’
The campmates had to earn their everyday essentials with a stomach-churning trial involving pig testicles and fish eyes during the Rank Bank challenge earlier in the episode.
The stars were split into three teams and pitted against each other to earn the most money for their campmates.
Coronation Street star Alan Halsall helmed the Blue Team with Tulisa Contostavlos, Reverend Richard Coles, and Barry McGuigan.
McFly’s Danny Jones led the Orange Team with Maura, GK, and Strictly’s Oti Mabuse.
The Love Island star, 34, raged that it was ‘absolutely scandalous’
She fumed, ‘That’s an expensive p**s!’
Radio DJ Dean McCullough headed up the Pink Team with Jane Moore, and Melvin Odoom.
Presenters Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly explained: ‘Jungle life is about to get very expensive.
‘Everyday essentials in camp are going to cost you money and to pay for them you’ll have to use your jungle cash card.’
Alan nailed three out of the four races, earning $1,100 for his group, while Danny and Dean raked in $500 each.
The group returned to camp to find turnstiles to use the toilet, shower, pool and bath, along with a vending wall depositing fresh filtered water and logs for the fire, priced at $10 per item.
Stars could also buy extra treats for the camp at a treat machine.
‘It’s a bit like buying tickets to an Oasis concert,’ Richard complained about the new prices.
Later, Maura, Jane, and Richard took part in a challenge which involved taking a phone call, memorising the call’s hold music and being asked a question about its lyrics.
On Thursday night’s episode, Dean McCullough, 32, Danny Jones, 38, and Alan Halsall, 42, competed to win jungle dollars for camp in The Rank Bank trial

The contestants won $200 for their cash cards for each correct answer.
After all three songs had played, Maura and Richard earned $600 each, while Jane banked $400.
At the end of the episode, Alan, Dean and Danny treated their friends to an eight-star dinner, with each star priced at $100.
