Maya Jama gets in shape ahead of Love Island presenting debut

The new season of Love Island is set to start early in the new year and new host Maya Jama has been preparing for her first season on the hit reality TV show. The 28-year-old star was announced as the new host earlier in the year, replacing Laura Whitmore who stepped into the role in 2020.

Dressed in black sports-gear and with a huge smile on her face, the Bristolian TV presenter was seen flexing in a post on her PT’s social media, captioned “I GOT A MESSAGE, @loveisland your new host is in shape and ready.” Standing next to her PT post workout, Maya looked happy and carefree in the post she re-shared on her own Instagram account.

With her appointment as host she is the third person, and first woman of colour, to host the popular reality show. Maya will be on our screens earlier than originally thought, as Love Island producers announced they would be filming a winter version in South Africa.
