ITV’s Love Island is set to return within a matter of weeks, with rumours flying around about what this year’s series will have in store. It’s already been confirmed that Laura Whitmore will return as presenter - disappointing fans who were hoping Maya Jama would get the gig.
It was reported last year that the Bristol-born star was in the running to take over as Love Island host, with producers said to have been mulling a change of presenter. Maura Higgins, presenter of Glow Up Ireland, was also linked to the job.
At the time, Maya Jama’s legions of online fans responded enthusiastically to the news, making it clear that they thought she should be handed the role. But Laura Whitmore - who has hosted the show since 2020 - will return again for the new series.
