'Everyone Thinks I'm A Party Girl'

TV, radio, podcasts. It’s all happening for Maya Jama right now…

'Everyone Thinks I'm A Party Girl'

Maya Jama. Recognise that name? You should. The TV and radio presenter is a force to be reckoned with at the moment. In fact, we have a confession: we’re a teeny bit obsessed with her. If she’s not presenting on BBC Radio 1, she’s on the telly co-hosting ITV2’s Cannonball, and now, she’s started When Life Gives You Melons, a fab new podcast with lingerie and swimwear brand Freya. As Maya admits: ‘It’s all happening at once.’ And we don’t know how the Bristol-born babe gets a second to herself

Sitting down with the mega-busy 23-yearold to chat all things podcast (the eight-part series is basically like listening in on a girlie catch up, features celeb guests each week and covers everything from careers to break-ups, dates and mates), we’re also talking all things fashion and beauty and exactly what she’d be doing if she wasn’t smashing her career goals (it’s not what you think), plus how she handles online trolls. Catching up with the star – who’s also been dating rapper Stormzy for the past two years – she tells us all about her next big career goal – to be a regular face on TV. A dream since she was 10 years old, but one we’re convinced is just around the corner…

Hi Maya! We’re loving your new podcast. What made you want to get involved?

I listened to other podcasts and just knew I wanted to do one of my own. I knew people who’d want to be involved and I loved the idea of it being like a girlie chit-chat about relatable stuff.

 What’s been the highlight so far?
