This year's Love Island villa antics are set to get even hotter as Bristolian bombshell Maya Jama makes her debut as the ITV2 show's host. Maya, 28, was officially announced as Love Island's new host in October 2022, sending fans into a frenzy as they can't wait to see her slow-mo walk into the villa for the first time next week.
Maya's glitzy new role on Love Island was speculated for some time following the departure of Laura Whitmore from the show. The Irish presenter announced that she was leaving Love Island after the eighth series wrapped up last summer, and has since claimed that she would have stayed on the show if she had more freedom.
Whilst a lot of fans were upset to hear of Laura's departure, many were thrilled to hear of Maya's arrival. The TV personality has been in the limelight for some time, having appeared on many shows, including Celebrity Juice and Glow Up: Britain's Next Make-Up Star, over the years. She was also previously one half of a celebrity power couple alongside Stormzy.
