Marie "Maz" Slater (born 1971 in Middleton, Greater Manchester) is a British reality TV star infamous for her role as the 'Miss Nasty' resort manager in Faliraki in ITV show Club Reps.[1] Simply known as "Maz" to viewers, she first rose to promise in January 2002 when the first episode of the show was aired, becoming a huge tabloid star overnight.
Slater said her TV image proved hard for the public to forget and the negative effects were long lasting with one girl trying to attack her and the only way to get back to 'Marie' was "to leave the industry behind."
However in an interview in 2007, Slater revealed she had plans to return to life as a TV presenter and had received numerous offers which she was still considering.
She stated that despite the distress Club Reps had caused her (she had counselling upon returning to England and later went into hiding) that she was grateful for the fact it had opened many doors and hopes to follow in the footsteps of Jeremy Spake and Jane McDonald.
"[4] Slater now owns a restaurant-bar called H. Nicholsons in Altrincham which opened in February 2006 and has continued work as a presenter, most notably on Sky Travel.
