It took just minutes of her making her Love Island debut for fans to declare Maya Jama the 'perfect' host for the show, with viewers praising her energy and enthusiasm, hours after she vowed to do them proud.
Weeks after the last series of Love Island ended, now ex host Laura Whitmore announced she was stepping down from the coveted TV role. Uploading a picture of her going into the Love Island villa to Instagram Laura wrote: "Some news! I won’t be hosting the next series of Love island. There are certain elements of the show I’ve found very difficult that cannot be changed some due to the format, including the flying back and forth to South Africa along with my new conflicting projects."
While stars like ex Love Island finalist Maura Higgins and comedian Emily Atack were all mooted as potential hosts, the Love Island gif ended up going to Maya, who has previous presenting experience from the likes of The Circle and Walk the Line.
