Key Takeaways

  • Maura Higgins and Rob Rausch will co-host Peacock’s upcoming competition series Get Me Out of Here, an updated version of I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!, set to premiere in 2027.
  • The series pairs celebrities with a non-famous friend or family member as teams compete in physical and psychological jungle challenges for a $100,000 prize, with the focus placed on the non-famous partners.
  • Maura and Rob built their reality TV connection through Love Island USA and The Traitors Season 4, where Rob famously betrayed Maura in the finale before the two later reconciled and remained friends.

After famously double-crossing Maura Higgins in The Traitors Season 4 finale, Rob Rausch will reunite with his one-time adversary in Peacock's newest competition series. But the two reality TV icons won't be competing against each other this time around — in fact, they'll be joining forces as co-hosts.

Maura Higgins and Rob Rausch will host Peacock's new competition series after The Traitors

It's official: Maura and Rob will co-host Peacock's upcoming updated take on the classic reality series I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!

According to the official synopsis, the show will be "set in a dense and unforgiving jungle, pairing celebrities with a non-famous friend or family member in the ultimate test of friendship." 

In the new series, viewers can expect the celebs to take a backseat to their non-famous partners all season long as they compete for $100,000. 

Competing in teams of two (one celebrity and their non-famous partner), duos are stripped of every luxury — including perk and privilege that comes with being famous — as they face a "series of physical and psychological challenges." Each team must rely on their partner as they navigate the jungle not just physically, but mentally as well. The show promises that the "treacherous environment will take its toll."

Ultimately, the unforgiving jungle will reveal which celebrities can survive living outside their their comfort zone and whether their partners can deal with the ramifications of being stuck in the jungle with a very famous person. The last duo standing will be rewarded with the $100,000 grand prize.

The tentatively-titled Get Me Out of Here is set to premiere sometime in 2027.

Maura and Rob's friendship blossomed after the explosive Traitors Season 4 finale

The duo's reality TV roots are deep. Rob made his debut on Love Island USA in Season 5 before he was an OG Islander in Season 6, the same season Maura hosted the show's Aftersun weekend recap.

Then, the two both competed in the fourth season of The Traitors, where Rob played the game as a Traitor perfectly, stringing his season-long ally Maura along until the very end, where he shockingly banished her in a shocking — and emotional — reality TV moment to capture $220,800.

Despite being blindsided, Maura revealed there was no hard feelings on her end, eventually congratulating Rob on a game well played. Of course, it helped that Rob gifted her a burgundy Hermès Birkin bag shortly after winning The Traitors, reportedly valued well into the five-figure mark. Maura had requested the extravagant fashion piece as an apology gift from Rob during the show's Season 4 reunion.

Since then, Maura and Rob have stayed friends — and now, they'll put another partnership on full display as they step into co-hosting roles in 2027.

Maura Higgins also met DWTS partner Mark Ballas on The Traitors

As fate would have it, Maura's Traitors past has caught up to her once again: She first met her Dancing with the Stars Season 35 partner Mark Ballas during The Traitors Season 4. Mark fared nearly as well as Maura and Rob did during that season, surviving until the season finale.

It remains to be seen which celebrities will compete on Peacock's newest competition series, but one thing's for sure —  they'll be in good, experienced hands with Maura and Rob.
