I'm here for the drama, always! It can't just be smooth sailing'

On Monday, Love Island returned to our screens for a sizzling new summer series.

Bringing with it a much-needed dose of Majorcan sun and ridiculously-toned singletons ready to put themselves out there in their search for love.

Of course, at the helm is one person perfectly placed to host the show's infamous recoupling ceremonies Maya Jama, having recently recoupled with her own celebrity boyfriend, Stormzy.

The pair rekindled their romance last year, following their 2019 split, before Stormzy jetted out to Cape Town for the All Stars final in February and pledged to do the same to be with Maya in Spain.

It's no secret that stunning Maya, 29, with her star quality and warm personality (not to mention that insane figure) makes as much of an impact when she struts into the villa in one of her knockout ensembles as the show's bombshells.

Discussing her fashion choices this season, which she chooses carefully with the help of her stylist, Rhea, Maya says, "I'm quite consistent with my vibes, very beach party daytime looks and then, at night, I love a sleek black dress for dramatic moments." It helps, of course, that grime star Stormzy is "cute and encouraging" of the often revealing outfits she wears in the series, which Maya has watched since the first season.

Reminiscing over the last All Stars series, Maya recalls how she bonded with winner Molly Smith during her exit interview. When talk turned to how fans had wanted Molly to reunite with ex 14 Callum Jones, Maya gestured to Stormzy as she remembered being encouraged to get back with him, after he publicly declared pining for her on his album, This Is What I Mean.
