Maya Jama will take over as host of the dating game show, according to the Love Island organizers. The upcoming winter season will begin in January 2023 after a two-year gap due to the epidemic.
The British presenter could be seen in the Instagram video browsing through her phone, drinking from a bottle, while flaunting her luggage bag.
According to the video’s commentary, Maya Jama is going to be the new host of Love Island. The Irish model Laura Whitmore, who has hosted Love Island since January 2020, will be replaced by Maya.
Laura expressed her excitement for Maya being the upcoming Love Island host in a comment on the Instagram photo, saying that she would be fantastic in the position. Peter Crouch: Save Our Summer, a sports-comedy game show on BBC One, featured Maya as a presenter alongside Peter Crouch and Alex Home. Additionally, she hosted the game show Glow Up: Britain’s Next Make-Up on BBC Three.
Paul Mortimer, the director of ITV, commented on Maya’s participation in the dating game show and noted that replacing Laura was not at all simple. Paul did, however, add that Maya was a good addition to Love Island because she loved the show and was also gorgeous, endearing, and engaging. Paul said that having Maya on board has made the whole team happy.
