Maura Higgins has hit back at the suggestion she owes her Love Island co-star Amber Gill an apology for her friendship with Greg O’Shea.
Maura, 28, was recently accused of flirting with Greg on the Late Late Show just hours after it emerged Greg had dumped Amber by text.
A source alleged to The Sun that the pair “were all over each other”.
However, Maura has now blasted the claims, insisting they’re just friends. She also said she doesn’t need to apologise to Amber because she hasn’t done anything wrong.
She told the publication at her Boohoo launch in London: “It’s 2019. Just because I’m photographed doesn’t mean I’m flirting or sleeping with him.
“If I was photographed with a girl nothing would be said about it. It’s a bit ridiculous. I’m with Curtis, as everyone knows, and Greg is a friend.”

She was also asked if she needed to ‘clear the air’ with Amber, to which she replied: “No, not at all. Why would I have to speak to her about it? Greg is a friend and did nothing wrong. Greg is a friend of mine from the villa. There’s nothing to say.”
Showing there was never any hard feelings, Amber was a guest at Maura’s fashion launch.
Other Love Island stars in attendance included Curtis Pritchard, Chris Taylor, Francesca Allen, India Reynolds, Joe Garratt, Lucie Donlan, Belle Hassan and Anna Vakili.
Maura’s comments come after Amber hit back at claims she is the least successful Love Island contestant after it was reported the former ring girl stole her spot on Dancing On Ice.

“Maura joining Boohoo. Ovie joining ASOS and Molly Mae having her own collection with PLT. What is Amber doing please?” a Love Island fan tweeted.
“Sis please don’t tell me you think I’m out here doing nothing? I always do the most. Be patient,” Amber responded.
Just days later it emerged Amber had landed a £1 million deal with Miss Pap.
