Love Island's Maya Jama blindsided on camera by 'unexpected' drama after Casa Amor

Maya Jama has admitted she was completely blindsided by something that happened on LOve Island this year, dispelling the myth that she always knows what's coming when she goes into the villa to film.

A replacement for Laura Whitmore, who quit the coveted TV role weeks after the summer series ended last year, Maya hit the ground running as Love Island presenter, being heralded by ITV2 viewers as son as she set foot in the villa for the launch episode in South Africa back in January.

The former host of short-lived ITV talent show Walk The Line, Maya had a big job to do on Monday night, crowning Kai and Sanam as the latest Love Island champions, with the popular couple beating runners up Ron and Lana and fellow finalists Tom and Samie and Shaq and Tanya to the £50,000 prize.
