Love Island host Maya Jama admits she's 'obsessed' with Will - but fans are divided

Love Island host Maya Jama revealed she's 'obsessed' with Will Young but fans are divided about the new contestant.

The 23-year-old farmer from Buckinghamshire already has a huge following with his farming account on TikTok.

And now, he's switched the countryside for a gorgeous South African villa as he started his journey in looking for love.

He's made viewers laugh with his awkward dance moves in this year's winter edition but Maya is still a big fan.

Maya, who took over hosting duties from Laura Whitmore, took to social media to post about the scenes unfolding on Tuesday's Love Island.

"Obsesssssed with Will but omggg," she tweeted along with a few laughing emojis.

Fans were divided about Will and took to her replies to share their opinions on the light-haired farmer.

"Aww that’s nice to hear but I DISAGREE," one person wrote while another agreed with Maya, saying: "Only half decent bloke in there."

Another viewer joked: "Will tweeted this, a dare or he’s on her phone."

"He might be a bit geeky but he’s the only one who seems to have a brain," a fan posted.

A Maya fan wrote: "Really?? We shall not vote him out if he makes you obsessed... anything for you."

Meanwhile, Maya had a successful debut as the new host of the ITV2 competition earlier this week.

She did so well that it has been reported that bosses are in talks to sign a multi-series deal with her.

Not only has Maya wowed fans with her daring outfits, including a striking black cut out dress, her charisma and natural likability have made her a big hit with viewers.

A source added: “You’d have to be living under a rock to have missed seeing a photo of Maya in that black dress yesterday and it will surely captivate those who previously only had a casual interest.

“One thing’s for sure - there will be a lot of urgent conversations around renewing her contract already underway.”

Industry expert Jonathan Shalit told The Sun : “Maya is quite simply fantastic - a true star and now a household name."

He went on to say that she has "nailed" the role as a Love Island host and that she is a major TV force to be reckoned with.
