Love Island star Maria Carmel Wild held a party during lockdown at her plush West London apartment earlier this month where she was filmed brandishing a knife next to a plate of white powder and two straws, Daily Star Online can reveal.
The TV starlet and influencer, who made her Love Island debut in Casa Amor in 2019 and boasts 83,000 followers on Instagram, appeared to ignore the government’s advice on social distancing and hosted the bash with some of her closest friends despite wide-spread concerns about house parties raising the risk of spreading Covid-19.
The government have called for all members of the public to adhere to social distancing rules and for everyone to remain indoors except when making essential journeys.

Daily Star Online understands multiple people who do not live with Maria or her flatmate Chase were at the bash and this was not disputed by the star’s rep.
In the clip obtained by Daily Star Online, Maria, who had her eyes on Scottish hunk Anton Danyluk before entering the TV villa, can be seen wearing an oversized grey shirt, matching leggings and a red Santa hat as she stands at a glass table.
Resting her left hand on a wooden chopping board, Maria then proceeds to stab in-between her fingers with a sharp kitchen knife as her friend and housemate Chase Hunter films her.

Directly next to Maria and the chopping board is a large white plate, which appears to contain an unknown white powder, a bank card and two short cut straws.
The video was posted publicly on Chase’s official Instagram story via his official @mrchasehunter account on April 9 before quickly being pulled offline.
A source said: “Maria held a house party last weekend during lockdown with her mates.

“Things clearly escalated and some of her friends posted videos of the night online.
“At one point her housemate Chase uploaded a video of her sticking a knife in between her fingers but didn’t notice the plate of straws and credit cards and white powder next to her clearly in shot.”
The source added: “As the purpose of the video was to show off Maria with the knife it would seem he failed to notice the plate of suspicious items in the foreground of the shot.

“The video was quickly removed from his Instagram story after a short while.”
Over 72 hours before publication, Daily Star Online put the contents of the video to a rep for Maria Wild detailing the white powder, straws and bank card.
A rep for Maria Wild said: “Thank you for your email however we do not wish to comment on this video.”
