The beloved Reverend, who posted to Instagram a shot of them together at the Pride of Britain Awards, captioned it"Reunited tonight with my favourite #LoveIsland star @maurahiggins. Her first ‘sorry, Father’ came 3 seconds after this snap was taken."

His mention of 'sorry, Father,' was a nod to what Maura would famously say to him on the regular during their time in the jungle whenever she would swear or make a rude or risqué remark while in his presence.

The glam team responsible for Maura's look was fashion stylist Karl Willett, hairstylist Carl Bembridge, and makeup artist Suzy Clarke.
