She made several attempts to kiss Tommy during Friday’s episode of Love Island.
However shocked viewers have admitted that they were left feeling ‘uncomfortable’ watching Maura, 28, endeavour to lock lips with the hunky boxer, 20.
The sultry ring girl has made a beeline for Tommy ever since arriving in the villa, but fans have now accused her of acting ‘predatory’ towards him.

Some questioned if gender roles were reversed would it be an acceptable way for Tommy to behave if Maura initially clearly told him she didn’t want a kiss.
Maura continued her pursuit of the boxer during Friday’s episode as she engaged in a very racy chat and asked him to kiss her on the day beds.
Although she was swiftly rejected by Tommy, who has made it clear that he plans to keep his options open by also getting to know Instagrammer Molly-Mae, this didn’t stop her from trying again.

During their very steamy chat Maura said to Tommy: ‘Do she turn you on like I do?’ to which a smirking Tommy said: ‘I’m hugely attracted to you. You know you’re sexy.’
Before hinting that he was very aroused, Maura suggested that the pair of them could sleep outside together and his ‘body heat’ could keep them warm.
However despite their very cosy chat, Tommy didn’t seem keen to seal it with a kiss in spite of Maura’s repeated requests for him to lock lips with her.

Following their chat Tommy decided that it would be best if he stayed neutral and slept on the sofa and Maura came down to ask if she could stay with him.
She once again requested a kiss goodnight and even put her face up close to his, which left Tommy squirming and offering her his cheek to smooch.
Her actions haven’t gone down well with viewers, who have suggested her behaviour is ‘overly sexual’ and is ‘freaking Tommy out’.
One fan wrote: ‘Watching Tommy and Maura is cringing me out I can’t take another sexual comment or predatory behaviour, can’t believe she’s 28.’
Another viewer had quickly changed their opinion of Maura, writing: ‘Annoyed because I liked Maura yesterday but cannot believe she tried to force herself on Tommy. #LoveIsland.’

Many others also picked up on the fact that if Tommy had been the one acting that way it may have been perceived very differently.
One fan wrote: ‘If a boy was moving onto a girl the way Maura is with Tommy he’d probably be removed. Absolute predator. #LoveIsland.’
Another commented: ‘Everyone saying if the gender roles were reserved Maura and Tommy everyone would be going crazy.
‘Dude, they already are. Read the amount of tweets please. Can we stop pretending people aren’t bothered just because she’s a girl.’
Come on! This was the first time Maura asked Tommy for a kiss during the episode
