Maya Jama is the 'big sister figure' Love Island has lacked, says former star

Love Island star Rachel Finni has has backed new host Maya Jama, insisting that she is the 'big sister figure' that the ITV2 dating show has been missing.

Former former luxury travel specialist Rachel, 29, became the first ever black bombshell to enter the villa back in 2021, but her experience on Love Island left her hurt and traumatised after she believes she became the 'most violated' Love Island contestant in history.

Rachel, who has since been incredibly vocal about the cons of signing up to a show like Love Island, has admitted that although she didn't feel like she had support during her time on the show, she is excited for the new contestants to be blessed with Maya, 28, who she believes will be a comforting figure for the new islanders.
