Maura Higgins in hot water for using gay slur in unearthed video
Love Island's latest hopeful, Maura Higgins, is causing an absolute splash in the villa and she's only been there five minutes.
The Longford native and 'grid girl' entered the villa last night alongside Essex eyelash technician Elma Pazar, and has set her sights on Tommy Fury already.
The 28-year-old has been warned by bosses after an unearthed video shows her shouting an offensive gay slur.
The MailOnline revealed footage of Maura yelling "f****t" on a Dubai holiday with her gal pals.
Apparently, she was quoting The Hangover, you remember that Bradley Cooper comedy in Vegas with Mike Tyson's tiger?
When asked about the dodgy footage, an ITV spokesman claimed: "We do not tolerate any offensive language in the villa."
The ITV source continued; "We speak to all of the islanders to remind them of what we condone to be acceptable behaviour during their time on the show."
The stunning model is set to get on the wrong side of Molly-Mae, Tommy's current coupling partner and resident 'blonde bombshell' of the show. They seem to overuse the word 'bombshell pretty' much all the time…
The offensive clip circulated ahead of Maura's initial Love Island appearance, when she strutted in alongside Elma Pazar. Danny, Tommy, Anton and Michael have to create a three-course meal for the new girls.

The model has starred in a music video with One Direction's Liam Payne, her main claim to fame it would seem.
Maura has also explained that she had to leave Ireland for work, saying that the modelling industry is closed off to country girls like her.
We can't wait to see what happens between Molly Mae and Tommy tonight, it looks light a major jealousy argument is brewing because of Tommy's head-turning antics.
