Maura Higgins' mum Sharon pictured publicly for first time as she enters Love Island villa

Maura Higgins' mum Sharon will enter the Love Island villa on Sunday night for the penultimate episode of the 2019 series.

Midlands mammy Sharon and her boyfriend Donie Keyes will appear at the Majorcan villa, as family members of the contestants visit the islanders for the first time in two months.

Maura, who is coupled up with Curtis Pritchard, said: "It just doesn’t seem real. My mammy and her boyfriend in the Love Island villa!"

The Longford woman pushed her mum for her opinion of Curtis.

Sharon said: “He’s nice. I’m trusting your judgement. And I know you’re not a bad judge of character. If you’re happy, then I am happy.”

Both of Curtis' parents both showed up in the Beach Hut - and they both had good words to say about Maura.

His mum said: "Maura is beautiful. She’s lovely. I think you just gel because she’s got fire!"

His dad added: "I like your explosive ways."

Meanwhile, nervous Maura told his parents: "I say some random stuff in here and I’m not sure if parents would like that!

"They call me Hurricane Maura in here but I’m not that explosive at home!"

Love Island will air Virgin Media Two at 9pm on Sunday.
