Open and honest: Maura Higgins is definitely an expert on keeping the show spicy, as she spoke to The Sun about her thoughts on why ratings are plummeting on the winter edition of the show which hit screens earlier this month
In her candid chat, Maura confessed that she thinks Love Island’s ratings have dropped because she isn’t on the show.
Fans of the show have been left stunned after 800,000 people less tuned in than for Maura’s series last year, as claimed in a BBC ratings report.
The show was watched by 2.51 million on it’s launch night while the last series saw 3.3 million fans tune in for the summer’s debut.
The Irish beauty – who is currently competing on Dancing On Ice – believes there are less people tuning into the programme because she’s not in the famous villa.
Not hot: She said: ‘. But I feel like I don’t find the boys as hot this series. I don’t fancy any of them’ (Connor, pictured, however she did not specify which boy she meant)

She said: ‘I have seen that the viewers have dropped – maybe it’s not getting as many viewers because they need Maura Higgins. But I feel like I don’t find the boys as hot this series. I don’t fancy any of them.’
Maura has discussed her friendship with skating professional Alexander Demetriou, admitting they regularly get intimate whilst training but she is ‘so relaxed’ about it.
She added to The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre TV column: ‘The awkward grabs do happen and we end up accidentally touching each other’s bits, it’s true…
‘It’s the closest you’ll ever get to someone outside of a relationship, but I don’t feel uncomfortable at all. I’m so relaxed with Alex, we get on so well.’
