That’s right, it’s Maya Jama!

Maya is best known for presenting ITV2 dating show Love Island and is currently dating top footballer Rúben Dias.

The snaps come after it was reported that ITV bosses are pulling out all the stops to keep Love Island host Maya with a mega deal worth almost £2million on the table.

The TV favourite has become the jewel in the crown of the dating show since taking over in 2023, and executives are determined not to lose her to rivals such as Netflix and Amazon.

Under the proposed deal, Maya would pocket more than £800,000 to front the flagship summer series, the same again for the winter All Stars version, plus a hefty sum for hosting After Sun.

The presenter’s mix of star power, wit and her jaw-dropping style is thought to have made her one of ITV’s most bankable names.

A source told The Sun: ‘Maya is a massive hit with fans and bosses. ITV are desperate not to lose her.

‘They’re acutely aware that she’s being offered lucrative work with other companies such as Netflix. She’s hugely in demand.’

She’s also branching into acting and has landed herself a role as a gangster’s wife in Guy Ritchie’s Netflix hit The Gentleman.
