Earlier this month, Maura's friendship with Lucie Donlan appeared to be on the rocks as one eagle-eyed Instagram user discovered that Maura had unfollowed her former best friend in autumn last year.
Appearing alongside Tommy Fury, Molly-Mae-Hague and Amber Gill on the 2019 series, Maura has now cemented an incredibly special friendship with new mum Molly-Mae - with her even labelling the Pretty Little Things creative director as her 'best friend'.
Although Maura and Lucie used to be the best of friends, it seems that Molly-Mae, 23, has now taken up the spot.

The unfollowing saga came as a huge surprise to Love Island fans, who witnessed Maura and Lucie often enjoying trips away together and supporting each other on social media, through thick and thin.
