During his time in the Australian jungle, Irish star McGuigan became emotional as he told his fellow campmates about how his daughter Danika 'Nika' McGuigan died aged 33 five weeks after being diagnosed with bowel cancer in 2019
Former boxing champion Barry McGuigan has said he feels it is "important" to talk about his grief after opening up about the death of his daughter on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!
Following his exit from the ITV reality show, McGuigan told Good Morning Britain on Friday that his daughter’s death was "the single most devastating thing that’s ever happened to me". "And it’s just her life was so sad, and it all happened at a most important time in her life when things were looking great and she got cancer and she died.
Former boxer McGuigan said he found himself openly sharing his experiences of grief in the jungle as all the contestants could do between trials was talk, but he still finds it difficult to speak about his loss. It was announced on Thursday’s episode that McGuigan and Love Island star Maura Higgins were the latest contestants to be voted off I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!
