The outing comes as Molly-Ma insisted she’s completely fine re-watching her boyfriend Tommy Fury’s flirtations with her best friend Maura in last year’s Love Island

The reality star, 21, claimed the pair are now ‘like brother and sister’, but said she understands why some of her fans ‘find it weird’ that the trio are now close pals.

Molly-Mae insisted Maura and Tommy’s connection during the early stage of the series was ‘really not deep’ as her followers grilled her about their flirtation during an Instagram question and answer session on Thursday.

The influencer stated that she and Maura, 29, were not close friends when the Irish beauty set her sights on the boxer, 21, in the villa. 

As the question about whether she had watched Tommy and Maura’s Love Island antics popped up, Molly smiled and rolled her eyes as she told how she’s had so many questions about the subject. 

She explained: ‘You have to understand that it’s really OK. When that Maura and Tommy situation happened in Love Island, me and Maura didn’t even know each other then, we weren’t even friends.

‘It’s a different story if it’s your mate, Jesus that’s a no go. It’s really not deep, we weren’t friends when it happened.’

The way they were: The social media star, 21, took to Instagram for a Q&A session on Thursday, where her fans grilled her about Tommy and Maura's past connection

The star went on to joke that while it was OK back then, she won’t be happy if Maura tries anything now as she said: ‘But now, if she tries to go for him now!’ before pulling a warning face. 

She continued: ‘But no stress about that one but Tommy and Maura are like brother and sister now. 

‘I know it seems weird to some of you guys and I get that some of you find it weird, but for us three it’s really not, we’re best mates.’

The trio met on the 2019 series of Love Island with Maura originally setting her sights on Tommy, although she soon found love with ex-beau Curtis Pritchard.
