Another viewer wrote: 'Watching Tommy and Maura is cringing me out I can't take another sexual comment or predatory behaviour, can't believe she's 28.' During Friday's episode, Maura had a steamy chat with Tommy. She asked him: 'Does she turn you on like I do?' to which a smirking Tommy replied: 'I’m hugely attracted to you. You know you’re sexy.' However despite their very cosy chat, Tommy didn't seem keen to seal it with a kiss in spite of Maura's repeated requests for him to lock lips with her.
