Maya Jama says she knows there is pressure on her as the new series of Love Island nears. The Bristolian, 28, will return to ITV screens on Monday (June 5) to front her first summer series of the show, having presented the hit programme's winter edition in South Africa earlier this year.
Speaking to reporters in Majorca ahead of the show's return, Jama - who replaced Laura Whitmore as host - said getting to host the summer series feels “special”, especially given the celebrity fans it has including Hollywood stars Margot Robbie, Tobey Maguire and Amy Schumer. During the winter series, Jama was praised for her hosting skills and her fashion choices.
Looking ahead to the new series on ITV2, she said: “It’s special. I feel now (after) the first one, I’ve got it and we’ve done it, all the nerves are gone a bit and now I’m ready to go.”
