Maura Higgins and Elma Pazar are set to have their friendship tested over newcomer Tom Walker on Tuesday’s (18.06.19) episode of ‘Love Island’.
The 28-year-old model and the 26-year-old eyelash technician became close friends on the ITV2 dating show when they both entered the infamous villa at the same time as latecomers, but their bond will soon be put to the test as they both have eyes for hunky new addition Tom.
After Maura goes on a successful date with the male model, also 28, he admits he also has his eye on Elma, who is currently coupled up with Anton Danyluk but has confessed to wanting to get to know Tom better.
And Maura is set to confront Elma – who initially said she had no interest in Tom – on Tuesday’s episode, as she tells her pal that she doesn’t want to be involved in another love triangle after she was left disappointed when Tommy Fury chose to stay with Molly-Mae Hague last week.
Maura will tell Elma: "You said you weren’t interested [in Tom]. But you are now? We’re friends and I know if I was in your situation and a guy came in that you liked, I wouldn’t do that. If Tom wanted you, what would you do?"
To which Elma says: "We get on but I made it clear that I wouldn’t want to tread on your toes."
And Maura adds: "Girl-code. I just wouldn’t. I don’t want to get into another love triangle especially with my friend."
But the argument leaves Elma frustrated, and she later speaks to Molly-Mae and expresses her annoyance as she says Maura has made her look like she’s in the wrong.
She tells Molly-Mae: "I wish I had just left it because it looked like I had something to apologise for when I didn’t. She sat there and went on about girl-code when she did worse to you [Molly-Mae]."
‘Love Island’ airs at 9pm on ITV2.
