Self-confessed Love Island fan Ed Balls said he felt a "personal" connection to host Maya Jama after she recorded a video message for the Good Morning Britain team. Last night, March 13, after 57 episodes, the ninth series of Love Island drew to a close as PE teacher Kai Fagan and social worker Sanam Harrinanan were crowned the winners, nabbing a £50,000 cash prize.
Kai and Sanam made Love Island history with their victory, as they are the first winners to meet during the Casa Amor twist in the show. As Ed and his co-presenter Susanna Reid spoke to Richard Arnold about the Love Island final, the former Labour politician admitted that it had been a "big night" in the Balls household as they sat down to watch it.
Richard then revealed that Bristolian presenter Maya had recorded a special message just for the Good Morning Britain team. Maya was joined by the finalists of the ninth series as she greeted the presenters. "Hi everyone at Good Morning Britain!" she shouted on what appeared to be a breezy evening in South Africa.
