Love Island fans have predicted that future Islanders will be trying to 'recouple' with new host Maya Jama after it was announced she will be the next host of the ITV2 show. Bristolian presenter Maya, who has previously hosted shows such as Walk The Line and Glow Up: Britain's Next Make Up Star, will be filling the shoes of Laura Whitmore, who had presented the dating show from 2020 until this year.
ITV2 and ITVX confirmed in a statement today that ex-Cotham School pupil Maya, 28, will be presenting the show from early 2023 onwards, sending fans crazy after much speculation. In a statement, Maya said of her new gig: "I’ve always been such a massive Love Island fan and I’m so excited to be hosting one of the nation’s favourite shows! I can’t wait to get into the Villa to meet all of the Islanders."
Love Island fanatics and fans of Maya have been reacting to the news on social media. Whilst many of them are excited, some have pointed out there may be 'a problem' with Maya presenting the hit show.
