Maura bagged a six-figure deal with Ann Summers after getting out of Love Island last year.

She has since wowed in racy lingerie and also released a winter collection.

But she has held off on revealing her swimwear as Love Island host Caroline is laid to rest today.

Her family and friends will say their final goodbyes to the 40-year-old who took her own life on February 15.

Her tragic death came just a day after she learned the CPS was pursuing charges that she allegedly attacked her boyfriend Lewis Burton.
