Maya Jama appeared emotional as she looked back at how much things have changed in the last few years. The TV and radio presenter touched down in South Africa over the weekend ahead of the new winter edition of Love Island.
Her first outing as host will be seen on-screen next week when the reality series returns for its first winter series in three years, since before the coronavirus pandemic. Maya took over from Laura Whitmore, 37, who announced she was stepping down in August following the end of the summer 2022 series.
Maya has previously revealed that she did not have to audition for the role and said yes "straight away", describing the job as a "golden ticket". The 28-year-old, who has been a fan of the show since the first series, also said her best friend was the first to find out the good news.
