Maya Jama sends Love Island fans wild after stealing the show with *that* black dress-Meghna Amin-Entertainment – Metro

If there’s one thing that Love Island fans can all agree on, it’s that new host Maya Jama undoubtedly stole the show during Monday’s first episode, after strutting into the villa in *that* black dress.

The 28-year-old stunned fans and contestants when she returned to the villa on the first night, delivering the shocking news that bombshell Tom Clare was about to shake things up.

But viewers were pretty distracted from the announcement by Maya’s sensational look.

After wowing earlier in the day in a plunging green dress, the host wore a sexy black number with a high leg slit and cut out details all over.

Maya made her debut on the ITV2 reality dating series, having taken over from Laura Whitmore, who announced her departure in August.

The presenter’s incredible figure sent fans into a frenzy, leaving most of them distracted from what was actually going on.

‘Maya Jama in THAT black dress is worth the TV license alone,’ one person wrote.

Another penned: ‘MAYA JAMA that black dress? Her strutting in? She was literally made for this.’

‘Stopppp Maya Jama as the Love Island host is so dangerous, jaw was on the floor when she came in with that black dress my godddddd,’ one viewer commented.

‘Maya Jama in that black dress is just not fair man. Those female contestants can not compete,’ someone else wrote.

This comes after Maya revealed how excited she was to find out she had landed the new hosting gig.

Speaking to Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary on This Morning, ahead of landing in South Africa for the winter series, Maya revealed: ‘A little while ago I found out, and it was a no-brainer obviously because I am a massive fan of the show.’

‘I was like, “okay when does it start?” And then they were doing the winter one again, and I was like, “right so I’m coming back soon then.”

‘And it’s all a bit of a blur to be honest, but found out, said yes absolutely, and now I’m off to South Africa.’

Speaking about how she’s preparing for her new hosting gig, Maya continued: ‘I’m a massive fan, I’ve watched pretty much all of the series. I’ve tried not to do too much research because you want to still be yourself, don’t you.

‘You want to ask all the questions you want to know, but as a fan of the show, I feel like I’m going to approach it how I’ve screamed at the telly for years.’

She added: ‘I’m just going to be like, “Why did you kiss her and what happened then?!” But we’ll see.’

Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2.
