Love Island respond to claims Maura and Molly-Mae knew each other before the show

Love Island bosses have responded to claims Molly-Mae Hague and Maura Higgins knew each other before the show.

The Islanders haven't had the easiest time getting along in the villa, after they almost immediately found themselves in a love triangle with Tommy Fury. But after Tommy picked Molly-Mae in the latest recouping, she and Maura quickly became best friends. However, new reports have suggested that the reason they were able to make up so fast was because they actually knew each other outside the villa. The pair were said to have been spotted out for dinner in Dubai earlier this year, with a source telling The Mirror they looked like "really good mates." They said:
"They were sitting there, all dressed up and having dinner together,’ "They looked like really good mates, not like they had just met each other. The manager and waiters couldn’t take their eyes off them, they were just saying they were beyond-level fit. "I thought it was really bizarre they were pretending they didn’t know each other, and especially as they were love rivals, but then it all made sense to me. "If they knew each other and Maura was sent in to stir up trouble then it makes sense she would try and hurt Molly on TV, as it would all have been agreed."
However, a spokesperson for Love Island has now rubbished the claims the pair knew each other before the villa. They told Metro.co.uk:
"Maura and Molly-Mae have never met previously to meeting in the villa,"
Guess that settles it, so. Make sure you like and subscribe to our new Love Island Show, coming to you every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
