Hughie Maughan is a The Challenge: Spies, Lies & Allies rookie, and it's time to share everything that MTV viewers need to know about Ashley Mitchell's partner. The newest game has begun, and viewers are wondering if this competitor has what it takes to survive. Fans just watched an intense episode and will enjoy learning more about Hughie.
The latest episode of The Challenge showed the Big Brother alliance imploding as Messy Fessy Shafaat decided to make a play that was good for him but not for his team. While the veterans have the numbers and promised to work together, Fessy decided against throwing a rookie into elimination. Instead, he sent Hughie and Amber Borzotra to The Lair. Hughie won the game but he left a bad taste in some viewers' mouths after he proved he was a sore winner. TJ Lavin gave him a scolding.
A lot of the show's fans weren't aware of who Hughie was, but he previously competed on Big Brother UK 17 and won second place. He also waltzed onto Dancing With The Stars UK. According to his MTV bio, he is an outspoken Irishman who is not afraid of a little competition. On the very first episode, fans of The Challenge learned that he was a gay makeup artist with a chip on his shoulder. He told cameras that he often believed he was underestimated. Fans should know that this possibly underrated rookie has seven years of competitive boxing experience under his belt.
Like other The Challenge rookies, Hughie has a strong online presence. He has 86 thousand followers on his Instagram. Most of his pictures show him living the partying lifestyle. He poses with his makeup done, dressed to the nines. He also seems to be into working out since he enjoys showing off his butt on social media. Hughie has an Irish traveler background and has lived at many campsites throughout his life. He is 27 and is said to be living in Dublin currently. Back in 2016, Hughie was engaged to a fellow Big Brother alum, Ryan Ruckledge. In April of 2017, the couple announced that they had broken off their engagement.
Hughie's loud mouth has already gotten him into some issues on The Challenge: Spies, Lies & Allies, and he decided to partner up with Nany Gonzalez after he revealed he cast a burn vote. While some of the heavy hitters like CT Tamburello are still in the game, it seems unlikely that Hughie will make it to the very end. However, he does have the heart, so he could squeak by if he can learn to play the social game right.
The Challenge airs on Wednesday at 8 p.m. EST on MTV.
