Maya Jama

From the queen of sporty casual to our brightest new red carpet star — Maddy Mussen on the changing looks of the new Love Island host.

She has risen like a phoenix from the coral strapless ashes, and continued to bring her A-game to each red carpet henceworth. But while Jama was showing off her athleisure looks on Instagram, she started opting for an entirely different attitude on the red carpet—- big, bold and hyper feminine. It hit the spot and fitted well, as Jama’s looks always do, but it’s a far cry from her black velvet, full train, Pretty Woman off-the-shoulder gown she wore to the 2020 Brit Awards, or the metallic Off-White cut-out party look, worn back in November.

While the singeltons battled it out in their first challenge, Maya, 28, jetted back to London before returning to South Africa later this week.

Something not many people know about him: 'I'm a very emotional person. I've obviously not found the right one myself.' I stopped seeing her and carried on meditating! Age: 24 Age: 21 Not many people know that but I think it's quite cute.' Age: 23 Age: 25 Age: 27 Age: 26 Age: 20 Age: 22

Love Island host Maya Jama's mum has been her rock throughout her career and has frequently spoken about their close bond.

"I had plenty of people around me who did what a dad should do. But supporting her all the way has been her lookalike mum, who is incredibly proud of her daughter's successes. But who is the lady behind Maya's hard working ways and stunning looks? Last video is where I get it from) 18 years strong." Someone would get hurt, and he’d go to jail. The usual thing was that he’d be drinking and get into a fight.

Whitmore continued in the wake of an unspeakable tragedy when Flack, her friend, died by suicide a month later. At the time, it was a job no-one envied. But ...

After three series of hosting a show that depends on having a large and interactive fanbase, she’s surely been exposed to some of the worst online hate. It is possible to watch the series without resorting to name calling and bullying. Fans have been [calling for Jama to be host](https://inews.co.uk/culture/maya-jama-love-island-new-host-laura-whitmore-1908251?ico=in-line_link) for years — her ease, her banter, her style was perfect for the glam dating show.

Stirling is married to former 'Love Island' host Laura Whitmore.
