LOVE Island fans were in hysterics at a clip of Maura Higgins taking an epic tumble in front of her crush, Curtis Pritchard.
Last night’s episode of Unseen Bits featured the outtake moment – with the Irish beauty falling to the ground as she tried to perfect her famous strut.

The 28-year-old star was dressed in an all-white ensemble as she headed to her date with new boy Chris Taylor.
Curtis, 23, had also been summoned to get to know bombshell Francesca Allen, meaning that the pair had to film their slow-mo walk together.
Maura looked sensational as she was filmed for the walk, but had a harsh bump back down to reality when she lost her footing and fell.
The Islander’s arms flailed wildly in the air as she tried to regain her balance, with Curtis taking a moment to even notice that he was a man down.

When the professional dancer did finally clock on, he looked concerned – rushing to help Maura regain her balance as she brushed herself off.
Able to see the funny side, the grid girl laughed hysterically as she tried to win back some composure – and she wasn’t the only one tickled by the blunder.
Taking to social media, one fan wrote: “Shouldn’t laugh, but, but…. Ooooh Maura.
“Unseen Bits is better than the whole week of Love Island.”

Another laughed: “OMG Maura fell over on her way to her date! Unseen bits is better than the actual show.”
A third tweeted: “SHUT UP, NO WAY DID MAURA FALL OVER AND THEY ONLY SHOWED IT ON UNSEEN BITS HAHAHAHAHA”.
Several others also queried why the hilarious clip didn’t make it to the main show, with one writing: “Why would they not show Maura dropping on her way to her date on Love Island?
“Thank God for Unseen Bits.”
This wasn’t the only Maura moment that got a reaction in last night’s show, with the star also leaving viewers horrified when she spat out a live fly from the back of her throat.
The TV favourite was just as disgusted as those watching, with the star gagging and spitting onto the decking before the camera zoomed in on the wriggling bug that was covered in her saliva.
Maura exclaimed that she “could have died” following the gag-inducing scene, which was witnessed first-hand by Curtis and Danny Williams.
Another blunder that featured in the Unseen Bits special saw a tourist gatecrash Chris’ date with Belle Hassan.
Fans were tickled when they spotted the woman, dressed in beachwear, hurrying past their picnic date with a sunlounger in each hand.
