It was here where Maura opened up about her previous long-term relationships – one of which a nine-year romance where she had a fiance – adding that she’d slept with five people in total.
Maura said:
Well I’ve only slept with five people so… I swear on my life. Hello, I was in a nine-year relationship and a two-year relationship, how could have I slept with any more?
Molly looked at Maura in shock and disbelief, adamant that Maura would have slept with more people due to her raunchy and forward nature in the villa.

Love Island psychological analysis
Our psychologist, Silja Litvin, believes that Maura’s relaxed posture and physical behaviour regarding the question is evidence that she was telling the truth.
Silja said:
Maura appears to be telling the truth. Her posture is relaxed, and she has a good explanation as to why her count is ‘low’.
However, there were parts of Maura’s story that perhaps don’t add up.
As the conversation moved on, Maura jumped back in adding a sixth, claiming that she’d also slept with a girl.
