Maisie Gillespie reveals moment Tom Powell took picture
Back in June, Love Island fans were stunned when Thomas Powell shared a snap of a nude companion on Snapchat - despite his ongoing romance with co-star Sophie Gradon.
The mystery lady was revealed as Maisie Gillespie, who is currently starring on Ex On The Beach, yet the blonde beauty has now revealed the truth behind the shot.
Dispelling any ideas that the couple hooked up, the 20-year-old insisted she merely undressed in front of long-time pal Tom, 24, in a platonic sense after he was chucked out of his hotel.

Maisie has become an explosive addition to EOTB due to her lewd tongue and shock antics, yet she is determined not to stun with her latest tale.
In an interview with OK! online, the rising star candidly detailed the moment Tom shared an image of her changing - leading to mass backlash from Love Island fans.
While the show was airing, Tom was embroiled in a romance with Sophie, yet left the programme early after he was booted off. The Newcastle native stayed on the ITV2 show, while Tom came home and kicked off club appearances.
As his star grew, as did the attention on his social media antics, leading to shock and horror from fans who believed he was cheating on Sophie, who he has since dated and later split from acrimoniously.

Self-professed 'posh totty' Maisie studied journalism and politics at Cardiff University, while Tom is from Wales' Port Talbot, meaning the duo move in the same circles.
The blonde beauty explained that after a mix up with a hotel booking, she invited the beefcake back to her house before he made another club appearance.
She said: 'I’m so chilled, I was like just come to mine, I’ve got a five bed house in Cardiff with all my flatmates. So he came to mine and we got ready together, and I just naked, I just got changed like I didn’t think about it.
Hot stuff! Maisie certainly boasts a photogenic figure

'And the next thing I know he’s bloody Snapchatting me! But literally we’re just friends, which is why I got naked in front of him... Everyone thought I had cheated with Tom but I was like mate all I did was take my pyjama bottoms off!'
Maisie was forced to defend herself against much backlash following the image, particularly after she was approached by Charlotte Crosby.
The Geordie Shore star shared the story on her Twitter feed and simply wrote: 'tacky' - which led to an onslaught of unfair backlash to Maisie.

Elaborating on the cruel words, the star said: 'It’s funny how I got the backlash although it was him who took the photo of me.
'Charlotte Crosby retweeted the photo and put ‘tacky’. Which was harsh, because that was someone I looked up to, calling me tacky. 'I tried to keep out of it, there’s no juicy gossip to it.'
Maisie has stunned fans of Ex On The Beach as she appeared as Aaron Chalmers' ex, following a steamy night of passion with the Geordie Shore star.
