Maya Jama’s ITV2 show in danger of being axed after just four series

Maya Jama’s ITV2 hit programme could be facing the axe after just four series on our screens.

The TV host's comedy show Don’t Hate The Playaz is facing an uncertain future after rumours swirling that it isn't being renewed for a fifth series.

The 28-year-old has appeared as a team captain on the award-winning show since it first aired.

However, TVZone have reported that it's fourth and most recent series could have been its last.

The show is presented by Jordan Stephens, and Lady Leshurr is the other team captain.

The programme sees two teams battle it out in a series of games which will test the teams’ Hip Hop knowledge and ability.

When contacted, a spokesperson for ITV told The Sun : "We are proud of the multi-award winning success of Don't Hate the Playaz and will be exploring future plans for the series in due course."

This comes after Maya said she has felt "no urge to post on social media" as rumours circulated that she and Hollywood icon, Leonardo DiCaprio, were an item.

Since then Maya has been jetting about here, there and everywhere whiling sharing inside glimpses of her glamorous travels on social media.

The TV star is no stranger to this aspect of fame and high-profile relationships, having dated singer Stormzy and NBA star Ben Simmons.

As the rumours continued to swirl, Maya shared an update on Instagram as she soaked up the sun in an unknown location, but she later confirmed that she is not currently in the United Kingdom.

Maya said she has been working on some "exciting work projects" but has felt no urge to share her success on social media.

Appearing on her Instagram stories with a bare-face, Maya wrote: "Hardy been on my phone. Some exciting work things happened. Felt 0 need to scroll online and no urge to post. I've been having a lovely time with no photo evidence (until later)."

The Love Island host was first linked Leonardo when a source claimed that he had sent her flowers after mutual friends introduced them.

However, Maya has since clapped back at the rumours, calling them "silly".

ITV have been contacted by The Mirror for comment.
