Their appearance comes just weeks after Maura announced her split from her ex-boyfriend Chris Taylor. 

Maura and Chris went public with their romance in November after months of secrecy and took to Instagram two weeks ago to reveal the news of their split. 

According to reports after the split, Maura turned to her pal for support, with Molly-Mae said to be keen not to leave her friend alone during the tough period, offering for her to move in.

A source speaking to The Sun claimed: ‘Maura turned to her bestie for support during her split and has been using their home as a crash pad.

‘It’s worked out perfectly because Tommy has just flown off to boxing camp in America and Molly hates staying on her own.

‘Maura is going to stay there until she works out what she wants to do next and where she wants to live.’

MailOnline contacted Maura and Molly-Mae’s representatives for further comment at the time.

Announcing the split, Maura penned: ‘It breaks my heart to even type this but I wanted to let everyone know that myself and Chris have made the joint decision to end our relationship…

‘There is no wrongdoing on either side… we still love, care and respect each other deeply. From the minute we met each other we’ve been very close friends and that will never change. There is no regret, life is about taking chances.

Meanwhile, the statement released by Chris, also 30, read: ‘Hey guys, after some very heartfelt conversations over the past few days, myself & Maura are very sad to announce that we have decided to part ways.

‘We are both still on very good terms and this was a mutual decision where nobody had done anything wrong. We will remain friends, as we have been since day one and I will always be in Maura’s corner and have her back…

‘We are both going through a very tough time with this atm, so please take any speculation with a metric tonne of salt, p.s this is the only truth (and as always trolls can kindly f*** off)…

Just two weeks before the announcement, Maura spoke to MailOnline about the prospect of marriage and how happy they were together.

‘Like every couple we have our bickers, he does silly things like leaving the fridge door open. We have spoken about getting married – we’ve often spoken about where would we like to get married and would I like Ireland or England, stuff like that…

‘I do feel like I’d probably want an Irish wedding, which is a crazy, big party. I’ve had an image in my head for years but everyone I know that’s got married always says ‘you’ll never wear what you thought.’ I’d like something very simple…

‘I don’t feel like I’m going to even cover up on my wedding day!’
