On Friday, Coleen put her super sleuthing to good use as she tried to uncover what's really going on at her I'm A Celeb co-stars Maura and Reverend Richard Coles' camp.

At dinnertime, the hungry group of celebs were told they'd have to sacrifice part of their spread to ensure Maura, Richard and new addition Dean McCullough got to eat something.

Good-natured as they are Coleen and Danny Jones volunteered to bring the food over to the Junkyard, but their suspicions were roused when they saw the camp's conditions.

Set to make her acting debut in the upcoming film The Spin, Maura did a good job in keeping up the act they'd have to endure another night of sleeping on the floor.

Letting the charade go, Maura later told Dean: 'The only half decent thing we have over here, this red button, press that, it's actually quite interesting. It's not great but it's something.'

As Dean pressed the button, he was let in on the Junkyard's secret. Speechless, he gasped: 'You've got to be kidding me!'

Impressed by his campmates' acting skills, Dean gushed: 'The BAFTA is coming!' Fans at large were impressed by Coleen's instinctive, detective nature, joking that she's 'like M16'.

Will Maura and Coleen butt heads when both camps are reunited and the secret is exposed? We hope not, as Maura previously revealed she was most excited to meet Coleen in the jungle; We had been hoping for the ultimate power duo!

The Love Island star explained she's always been 'Team Coleen' since the infamous Wagatha Christie trial, which saw Rebekah Vardy accuse Coleen Rooney of defamation.

Maura told MailOnline: 'I'm excited to meet her [Coleen]. I would do the exact same as what she did. Put up something on my Instagram story and just have certain people view it to catch that person out. That is the way my brain would work.'

Maura said she was looking forward to meeting Coleen so that she can ask her more questions about the trial, as she admitted she is 'a bit nosey'. At least she's honest!
