Love Island: Maura and Tommy

Viewers of Love Island series 5 had a bone to pick with Maura while watching episode 11.

Since having a dinner date with Tommy Fury, Maura’s pretty much been smitten with the pro boxer.

Maura made her feelings very clear that she’s into Tommy and even went as far as climbing over him to try and kiss him three times!

Love Island viewers took to Twitter to express how many complaints probably would’ve been made if the gender roles were reversed given that Maura is 28 and Tommy just 20 years old.
