Love Island US star Maura Higgins has recalled she once had to change a tampon when she starred on the reality TV show, and she feared fans might think she was “disgusting”.
Whilst they are in the iconic villa the stars of the show are filmed all hours of the day, so it’s no surprise that they occasionally forget that they are on camera.
Maura, who has just bagged a job on Love Island US, spoke about how she said “filthy” and “disgusting” things when she was on the show.

Maura told Page Six: “At the beginning when you’re new to it, you take off your microphone and you leave it outside the [toilet] door because you’re like, ‘I don’t want anyone listening to me.
“But after about a week that completely goes out the window. You do not care. I was changing tampons in the dressing room, that’s how comfortable you get.”

The 32-year-old added: “Obviously, we know that there are so many cameras, but there’s [also] so many tech rooms with all the different screens.
“There’s this room with a massive long table and a massive screen where the execs of the show sit down and watch.”
“I remember going, ‘Oh my god, do you reckon people did this in the U.K. and watched me because I was disgusting?’ And they were like, ‘Oh 100 percent, they were watching you.”
