Maura, 28, arrived alongside fellow Love Island newcomer Elma Pazar, 26, at the end of Wednesday night’s instalment of the ITV reality show.
Tasked with choosing three boys each to cook for them, Maura immediately hit it off with young boxer, Tommy, 20, who had previously been showing an interest in social media influencer Molly-Mae, 20.
The aftermath culminated in an explosive confrontation between Molly-Mae and Tommy last night as the islander was left reeling at the prospect of loosing the boxer to Maura.
As last night’s episode heavily focussed on the newcomers’ arrival and them meeting the other girls in the villa, one body language expert has suggested Maura has a plan in sight to shake things up between the established couples.
She’s obviously gone in to shake it all up

Analysing both Maura and Tommy’s body language during their date, expert Judi James said: “She is absolutely industrial strength, she doesn’t even flirt she cuts through that. It’s just do you want me or not, basically?”
The expert continued in reference to Tommy’s previous interest in Molly-Mae and Maura’s possibly intentions: “She’s obviously gone in there to be a little irritant and to shake it all up because they were coupling up.
“It was going to get incredibly boring. It was literally going to be Love Island rather than fight and have sex under the duvet Island which we know and love.
“So I think she probably knows she’s been sent in there to stir things up and she was very good at it, very direct.”
However, Judi did state Tommy and Maura’s lust for one another does seem real
