Maura accused of 'sexually harassing' Tommy on Love Island after 'forceful kiss'

She is bringing some much needed fire to Love Island - but some people want Maura to be swiftly dumped from the villa, accusing her of sexually harassment.

The Irish vixen, who has managed to ruffle love rival Molly-Mae's feathers, is making cracking on look like an Olympic sport.

But some viewers are less than impressed with her wily ways and are calling for her to be axed from the show as they see her wooing as creepy.

Viewer Ciara Phillips has accused the 28-year-old ring girl of sexual harrassment and wildly, sexual assault.

The Change.org petition, which already has 111 signatures, reads: "I am concerned by Maura’s behaviour toward Tommy in the Villa.

"Her behaviour is unacceptable, sexual harassment and sexual assault. I understand it’s a show coupling up and sexual tensions run high and I have no issue with a women exploring her sexuality and being confident but Maura stepped over the line into sexual harassment.

"It doesn’t matter how flirtatious Tommy was, he said NO. He looked very uncomfortable and his body language told her he didn’t want to be physical, he was pulling away for a reason. Maura ignored him and persisted and then forcefully kissed him without his consent.

"This is a very serious matter and I expect ITV and Love Island to deal with the matter appropriately with immediate effect. Set an example that this behaviour will not be tolerated. No means NO."

Maura also revealed she thinks Michael is 'afraid of Amber'.

She told Elma: "I think he might be a bit afraid of Amber... she didn't speak to me, she wouldn't even look me in the eye. She was the only girl to not look me in th eye."

Maura went on to take Amber's personality down, as she labelled her behaviour as 'childish'.

Maure continued: "She's been really rude. If I go and speak to Michael I fee eyes burning.

"I'm not really bothered if she wants to act like a child, then go for it."

Michael has been getting closer to Amber but he hasn't been totally convinced that his feelings are reciprocated as Amber has been a rather closed book so far.

He has been careful as to not upset Amber, who certainly seems to be on a short fuse, especially since Maura arrived in the mix.

Can Michael melt her frosty exterior or has Maura hit the nail on the head? The coming days will no doubt go some way to showing where they are heading.

Mirror Online has contacted ITV for a comment.
