This included Malisha Jordan, who was eliminated early on this summer.
During her brief time in the villa, she clashed with Meg over getting to know Dejon.
Maya caught up with axed stars including Meg and Dejon, who were dumped right before the final.
When the topic of a group trip came up, the host asked: "Why didn't I get an invite? Where are we going?"
Meg replied: "You can come", before turning around and asking: "Where are we going, Malisha?"
At this point, Maya then said: "Oh my God, I won't be attending."
Malisha had been smiling, although this dropped after the presenter's quip.
The bombshell arrived on Day 5, alongside Yasmin Pettet and Emily Moran.
Unfortunately, Malisha - along with Toni - found themselves at risk of being dumped on Day 8.
It meant that new bombshell Harrison had the decision of who would stay.
He dated both girls, but chose Toni, meaning Malisha was therefore dumped as a result.
Following her exit, the teaching assistant took savage digs at her co-stars when appearing on spin-off Aftersun.
During a spicy segment, Malisha was asked by an audience member to give one-word verdicts on her fellow Islanders.
When it came to Shea, she didn't mince words, saying chatting to him was like 'talking to a brick wall.'

2017 - Kem Cetinay and Amber Davies had lots of ups and downs in the villa but went on to win. STATUS: Broken up.

2015 - Despite poor Jess Hayes being Max Morley's second choice on the show, they did win - but they didn't last as a couple. STATUS: Broken up.
Meanwhile, Malisha said her and Meg's clashing personalities were 'too similar".
She also claimed Meg 'went too far' — and said they'd 'never be friends' on the outside.
While things didn't quite work out with Dejon in the villa, Malisha left the door open for a post-show spark, cheekily saying they had 'unfinished business'.

Kate's foundation launches animated films to support children's development
The Princess of Wales has spoken about the importance of raising children better equipped to 'face the future' as her foundation launched a project to support the development of youngsters. Kate has been closely involved in the creation of a series of animated films aimed at helping those working with families and carers explain the vital importance of social and emotional development. In June, the princess spent time with two of the illustrators working on the films and met early years practitioners also involved in their creation, during a creative workshop at her Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood. She is said to be extremely passionate about the release of the films which Kensington Palace has described as a key step in her centre's work to continue raising awareness about the importance of the early years development of a child's life. To mark the release Kate said: 'Early childhood has been recognised as the golden opportunity to build strong foundations for future life health and happiness. 'The new animated films from The Centre of Early Childhood showcase how adults can create nurturing, loving interactions with children, helping to foster social and emotional development during their earliest years. 'These core social and emotional skills are essential in forming healthy relationships and are fundamental building blocks that can carry us through life. 'That is why we want to raise the awareness of, and celebrate, the extraordinary value of everyday moments of connection which matter more than ever in a rapidly changing world. 'Early childhood offers a sacred opportunity to transform our societies for the better and by nurturing these skills in our babies and children, we will be raising a younger generation better equipped to face the future.' The series, also available in Welsh and with British Sign Language, uses different styles of animation from curated line illustrations to papercraft, to help bring core concepts related to child development to life. Topics covered include how we grow an emotionally healthy brain; noticing and navigating feelings; managing big feelings together; back and forth interactions; supporting early learning; and creating space for connection. The centre is working with universities, charities and professional bodies to build the films into training and practice across the country. The new series follows on from the princess's major Shaping Us Framework initiative, aimed at increasing awareness of social and emotional skills.

Love Island winners Toni Laites and Cach Mercer reveal their surprising plans for £50,000 cash prize - and it's NOT what you'd expect
The couple were crowned the winners of the twelfth series of Love Island on Monday evening. And now, Toni Laites and Cacherel 'Cach' Mercer, both 24, have revealed what they plan to spend their £50,000 cash prize on - and it's far from what you would expect. When asked how she plans to spend the money, Toni, a Las Vegas cabana waitress, candidly admitted: 'I need to pay off my student loans. I want to invest it. I don't want to go on some crazy shopping spree.' While Cach, a dancer from London, agreed with her, adding: ' Cost of living crisis, I'll save it!' Toni made history as the first American contestant to enter the UK Love Island villa, and she and Cach seem set on making their relationship work despite the transatlantic distance. The couple had a rocky beginning after meeting during Casa Amor, as it wasn't long until the pair found themselves in a major love triangle with Harrison. Yet once Harrison decided to leave the villa with Lauren, Toni set her sights on Cach, and the pair went from strength to strength. Reflecting on her journey, Toni said: 'I feel like I'm representing a whole nation! I didn't expect to make it past week one. 'Hopefully now we will just find time to enjoy one another's company and not let everything else take over.' Cach added: 'It feels amazing to win. I was 100 per cent authentically myself, and luckily, the public liked it, so I'm buzzing. 'I appreciate every moment on the show, it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and I wouldn't have done it any other way.' Toni will also be remembered as part of the series' fan-favourite 'Big Three' – a name coined by viewers to describe her close friendship with runners-up Shakira Khan and Yasmin Pettet, who placed second and third, respectively. She said: 'Friends I will have for life. That was a big takeaway. The girls were my rock for the eight weeks.' But it looks like Toni and Cach may be spending even more time together in front of the camera, as ITV are reportedly planning to offer the couple a spin-off show chronicling their long-distance relationship, according to The Sun. A source told the publication: 'Even without the win, Cach and Toni's story should make great TV just due to their exciting lives. 'It will also be a chance to include Shakira and Yasmin when they visit Toni and catch up on the outside.' Daily Mail has contacted ITV for comment. The couple's interview follows ITV's release of the voting breakdown for the final, confirming it was the closest result in the show's history. In total, Toni and Cach received 33.5% of the vote, with Shakira Khan and Harry Cooksley taking 26.2% - showing the result was a close call. Yasmin Pettet and Jamie Rhodes came third with 22% and Angel Swift and Ty Isherwood placed fourth with 18.3%. Toni and Cach won despite the bookies' odds revealing it was Harry and Shakira in the running to win, just hours ahead of the live final. And fans seemed delighted with the decision as they took to Twitter to wish the couple congratulations. They penned: 'Justice served well done Toni & Cach .. what a gentleman man he is'; 'Congratulations Toni and cach. First American and she won. Iconic moves'; 'a bombshell + a casa boy winning love island - iconic!'; 'Love island didn't disappoint with Cach & Toni winning';
