Sammy couldn’t resist making his move on Maya
But the stunning presenter told Sammy to ‘chill out’
Presenter Maya was explaining the rules of game Fib or Fact to Sammy and asked: “Are you ready?”
He replied: “Fire away, beautiful.”
As the audience laughed Maya said: “OK, chill out.”
Fans took to Twitter to comment on the moment, with many insisting he’s never shown that much interest in Jess Harding.
One wrote: “Sammy is flirting more with Maya Jama on Aftersun in a 2 minute game more than he’s ever done with Jess.”
Another said: “Sammy called Maya beautiful more times in After Sun than he has Jess the past 6 weeks.”
And a third added: “Sammy calling Maya beautiful but has never even called jess pretty is actually wild.”
Bombshell Mal Nicol recently claimed Sammy made a dig at Jess while she was in the villa – but it wasn’t shown on TV.
Speaking about what was said on the Pop Off Podcast, Mal said: “Sammy was so loud. He was so loud and I was literally about to say ‘you need to speak quieter.
“He was going in like about how he wasn’t attracted to Jess… and Jess heard.”
Mehdi Edno, who was dumped on the same day as Mal, said: “Oh my god.”
Mal asked: “Do you remember that? That was awful and I went and I was like ‘You need to apologise to her’.”
