      Maura came in as a bombshell and made a beeline for Fury on the very first night.
      The pair flirted on a date while Molly-Mae, who was coupled up with Fury at the time, had to watch on.
      Higgins eventually tried to plant a kiss on Fury’s lips, but to no avail, with the Manchester boxer choosing to stay loyal to Molly-Mae.

      Molly-Mae and Maura are now good friends and the latter even watched Fury’s win over Jake Paul at the former’s house.
      The pair are likely to be sat next to each other tonight at KSI vs Fury.
      Fury is engaged to Molly-Mae and the pair welcomed their daughter Bambi to the world in February. More
