The Islanders were reunited during Sunday's reunion show, with Maura and Curtis awkwardly being quizzed about their romance whilst sat with Curtis' ex, Amy Hart.
Host Caroline Flack ensured there was plenty of drama during the cringe-inducing chat, bombarding the trio with tricky questions.
However, the TV star left the islanders wriggling with embarrassment when she asked Curtis - who was sandwiched between his ex and Maura - whether he would have ditched Amy.

He then admitted that he would have in fact ended his relationship with Amy regardless, stating that their romance wasn't '100% right.'
He continued: 'It would have ended up happening anyway I think.'
During the chat, which saw Curtis hesitate about whether to sit next to Amy, Maura acknowledged the uncomfortable situation as she came face-to-face with her boyfriend's ex.
When asked if she had anything to say to Amy, the grid girl replied: 'I'm not gonna lie, it is awkward.'
But she went on to say that she and Amy left on good terms and hoped they could be friends, adding that 'the past is the past.'
