Appearing live from the Beach Hut on last night's spin-off show After Sun, Maura went one step further and said Curtis, 23, was "marriage material".

Her comment came as she took part in a quick fire Q&A with host Caroline Flack, but despite thinking he could make a good husband, Maura admitted there was something missing at the moment.

When Caroline asked the 28-year-old who was giving her "fanny flutters" - a term she's used on a number of occasions in the villa - Maura replied: "At the moment nobody."

But Maura did say Curtis when asked who was the best kisser in the villa.

Maura was the hot topic of conversation during last night's After Sun after she was accused of “playing a game” by dumped Islander Dennon Lewis.

The footballer – who got to know Maura in Casa Amor – said she doesn’t even fancy Curtis.

When asked if he thought Maura liked Curtis, he started laughing and said: "Nah. She don’t like him. She’s playing the game very well, very well."

In shock scenes this evening, Maura pulled Curtis for a chat and said: “This is a bit awkward for me.

"So obviously you were coupled up with Amy and when I came in here a lot of the girls asked me 'who would you go for?' and I said you.

“But I wouldn’t have done that because you were very strong and I wouldn’t have wanted to cause any trouble, but now you are single.

"And I just wanted to let you know that I do have feelings for you."

Curtis couldn't stop smiling and admitted to her he had sent her a message on Instagram before they even entered the villa.

He added: "You are a very attractive young lady and I would be lying if I didn't say you were."

Maura continued: "None of the other guys I was coupled up with worked for me and I don't know if it was because you were in here and I just couldn't kind of focus."
