I'm A Celebrity 2019!

~ 31 ~

'So. The public have been voting for their King or Queen of the jungle, the person with the fewest votes will leave camp immediately. Taking third place in I'm a Celebrity 2019 is....'

'Andy.' My jaw dropped, hugging Andy tight, saying goodbye and cheering him off.

A routine we'd gotten used to every morning.

Then it was just me and Ro.

'Oh. My. God.' I flung myself at him, both of us screaming as he wrapped me into a huge hug. 'Holy shit. What is going on!' I flapped, just a few more minutes and we'd see everybody. The old camp mates, our families. We'd be out.

And I'd come second or first!

Caitlyn Jenner, Ian Wright, Kate Garraway. I'd beaten them all!

Me. Little Maia. The 'girl from Diversity'.

'I can't even deal.' We both sat down, trying to wrap my head around it. 'I am so so proud of you!' I turned to Roman, hugging him again. 'Honestly Mai. Right back at you. You are insane. I am so so happy I've had you in here with me. Any. Any time I've felt down you've been right there and picked me up. You are genuinely the best friend I've had in here. Thankyou so much.' He mumbled into my shoulder and I started to cry.

Both of us chatting away until we were told it was time.

Time for us to cross the bridges one last time.

'Okay. Good luck. Love you man.' I hug him one last time. 'I love you too girl, let's go.' We pick our bags up, heading up and out of camp. And I take one last look, double checking I hadn't left anything I wanted to take, then followed Roman up the hill.

We both cross the bridge, walking into the studio to loads of cheers and clapping.

We take our seats, hugging Ant and Dec, then relax a little.

'Maia. You look a little overwhelmed.' I raise my eyebrows. 'Uh huh. A little!' I joke. 'A lot. I never, ever, expected to get this far.' I shake my head, hands resting on my forehead.

'Okay we're gonna chat to both of you, Roman we're gonna chat to you first. So let's take a look at your jungle highlights.'

We watch as they play Ro's video and I get to see the Panic Pit trial, eyes widening, absolutely horrified. 'Jesus Christ Ro!' My eyes widen.

'You didn't half get stuck in did you!?' Ant asks him and he laughs. I get to calm down a little as they ask him questions, listening every now and then and just taking in my surroundings.

I had no clue where I was. I'd never been up here.

'So. Who do you think you were closest too in there?' Ant asks him and I stare, waiting for him to reply with my eyebrows raised.

'Myles.'

He replied quickly and I looked away, stretching my neck. 'Alright. Cool. Whatever.' I shrugged, joking obviously.

'I'm just kidding. Definitely the three of us. The three musketeers.' He tugs my shoulder and I laugh. 'Ahh yes. The golden trio.' I grin. 'Yes! It caught on!' I fist pump the air, Roman laughing. 'But. I have to show you. We did the same to Myles don't worry.' My eyebrows furrowed. Oh god what.

'It seemed to us a bit more like the flirty trio.' I snorted, covering my mouth as they played a VT, every moment of one of us flirting with the other playing. Them watching me in the shower the first few days. Them admitting to liking me, me admitting I'd heard. Everything.

I laughed loudly as it ended, hoping I wasn't blushing too much.

'It seemed like everyone had a crush on Maia.' Everyone laughed and I grinned. 'Well. Can't blame them can I.' I jokingly flip my hair around. 'But what do you make of that Maia. Now you've seen it.' I laugh. I knew this was coming.
