Love Island's big bust-up
Malia was removed from the villa after just a few hours in 2016 thanks to her fiery altercation with Kady McDermott.
The Manchester native had been on a date with Scott Thomas - who had been getting close with Kady in the days prior.
It left Kady feeling on edge as Scott failed to reassure her following his date with Malia.
Kady and Scott began to row but things later settled down as Malia went to chat to the girls.
Kady then made the effort to sit next to Malia to make her feel welcome and included but things soon went awry.
As Kady then accidently dropped her drink, causing it to splash on Malia's leg, Malia stood up enraged and asked: "Did you do that on purpose?"
Malia then began screaming to a bewildered group of Islanders as she insisted "you don't do that with me!"
As Kady began to defend herself and argue back, Malia soon got handsy as she turned the altercation physical before being thrown out.
