Speaking in a new interview with Cosmopolitan UK, the Love Island star has now shared that she is very much single.
"Can I just set something straight – I don't have a mystery man. I don't. I'm single," Maura said. "I think people are just very invested in my love life. But as you've all seen from the jungle, there's a lot more layers to me than the man I'm dating."

Speaking previously on I'm a Celebrity, Maura echoed her latest words by saying: "No, I'm single, not in a relationship. People can date, not be in a relationship and take things slow without the media getting involved in your shit. What's the point in getting them involved too soon, when you just don't know where it's gonna go."
