Bristol's Maya Jama has become the favourite to replace Laura Whitmore as Love Island host, according to a leading bookmaker. Bet Victor has priced the 28-year-old former Cotham School pupil at 5/4 in their latest odds.
This puts her about former Love Island contestant Maura Higgins (4/1) and TV presenter Vick Hope (9/2). Actress Emily Atack is currently priced at 7/1 to replace Whitmore, who announced she is leaving the ITV2 show having taken over the host role in 2020 following Caroline Flack's death.
It is not the only presenting job at ITV2 that Jama is being tipped for. It was recently reported she is among the favourites to become the new host of Big Brother when it returns to UK TV screens next year on the channel.
