Feisty Maura Higgins had a secret breakdown in the Love Island villa this summer, but it was never shown.
The Love Island finalist revealed all the gossip on her brand new boohoo podcast Get The Scoop, including secret moments from her wild summer on the ITV2 show.
The straight-talking Irish beauty confessed she wanted to give up and go home as her luck with finding a man didn't get off to a good start.
Opening up on the podcast, she said: "I actually stormed out of the villa and said 'I want to go home, I can't do it anymore, I can't find a man.
"But I'm so proud that I got the strength to stay and carry on... and now look, I've got a man!"
In the podcast, Maura was answering questions from her fans, and talked about the best and worst moments of her experience on the island.
She is now cosied up with professional dancer Curtis Pritchard , and the pair made it to the final of the series - although they still haven't made their relationship official.
Maura said: "My best moment in the villa was finally finding a man."
But the TV star admitted to crying so many times while she was away for eight weeks due to missing family events.
She said: "My worst was missing my sister's wedding and missing my niece's birthday, oh my God I cried that day.
"It was also my best friend's two-year anniversary while I was away. I cried so many times."
Maura came into the villa in later in the series and brought a fierce energy with her which made the girls nervous she would take their man.
She took a liking to Tommy Fury first - who is now with Molly-Mae Hague .
The fierce brunette chose to take him on a date on her first night in the villa, where she tempted him with her personality and fed him desserts as the rest of the girls laughed and taunted at her over the balcony.
And, at one point she attempted to kiss the boxer - but he refused as he wanted to "pursue" things with Molly-Mae.
Then, the former grid girl made a move to Tom Walker , but she blasted him for making disrespectful comments about her being "all mouth" before they were meant to spend the night together in the Hideaway.
She recently denied rumours of a romance with co-star and fellow Irishman Greg O'Shea, as they were pictured together following his split with Amber Gill .
Maura is now an ambassador for boohoo where she reportedly signed a six-figure deal with brand, as well as becoming a lingerie ambassador for Ann Summers.
