The Love Island alum - who is still set to make a late entry into I'm A Celebrity, despite rumours she has quit, has been living it up with a group of friends on a lavish SpaceNK trip for the past few nights.

On Monday morning, she shared a photo of her looking exhausted while drinking a cup of tea in bed.

The 33-year-old half-closed her eyes and sighed at the camera in the moody snap shared on her Instagram Story.   

'Sin City has ruined me and yes that's last night's makeup in my hairline and patchy tan on my chest,' the reality star captioned it. 

Maura also shared a round-up post of her time in the party capital on Monday, signalling that her trip was over.

'A trip I will cherish forever. Thank you Space NK for these incredible few days…it really was the trip of a lifetime!' she captioned it. 

'Met some of the most kindest beautiful people, a group I can now call friends for life. I Love you all x.'

The post included selfies of her looking stunning in a black tuxedo minidress and partying in a limousine.

There was also a video of Adele complimenting her outfit while performing during her Las Vegas residency.  

While Maura's whirlwind trip away had fans convinced she won't be appearing on I'm A Celeb, MailOnline can exclusively reveal she will arrive in Australia 'imminently' and is simply cutting it fine.

An ITV source said: 'She will be arriving this week, the brand trip was always part of the schedule as Maura had agreed to it and it fit into her arrival dates for the Jungle.'

For weeks it's been rumoured the reality star was a contestant on the ITV flagship show and Maura has done her best to throw fans off the scent in the past few days. 

Staying at the 500 dollars a night Palazzo at the Venetian Hotel, Maura was joined by the likes of Stacey Solomon and was flown out first class on Thursday to Las Vegas.

Treated to morning facials and extravagant dinners of calamari at Nobu and lobster at the Bellagio, it's a far cry from what's in store for her in Australia - a diet that will consist of rice and beans and stomach-churning bushtucker trials.   

Playing into how last minute the trip was before the Jungle, Maura teased fans that she was headed to Australia by posting a picture of a plane with the caption: 'Where to?!'

When she later popped up in Las Vegas, fans who were expecting her to arrive at Brisbane Airport, were sent into a tailspin claiming she had already quit the Jungle.

She will be joining the likes of super Wag, Coleen Rooney, 39, and N-Dubz's Tulisa Contostavlos, 36, for three weeks living a diet of rice and beans and camping among spiders and snakes.

Strictly's Oti Mabuse and McFly singer Danny Jones are among the other signings this year.

She will be a late entry into the camp alongside Reverend Richard Coles.

Last week, Maura revealed her one requirement for joining I'm A Celebrity, admitting she would 'rather be in a hot country' if she was to join the famous jungle. 

'I don't think I'd go well with being in the cold,' she told Heatworld.

'As hard as that show would be, with all the insects and the heights and everything, I think I'd rather be in a hot country.

'I mean I'd be petrified to do I'm A Celebrity, I'm no good with anything like that. But obviously it's a massive opportunity…

'You never know.'
