Is Maya Jama quitting Love Island?
Maya has chosen to step down from a show… but it isn’t what it seems.She has quit the show’s spin-off, Love Island Games, and is being replaced by Ariana Madix, who hosts the show’s sister across the pond, Love Island USA.
The US counterpart stepped in for the UK host for a couple of episodes in the Love Island Games’ initial series, so she was the natural choice.
So, whilst she has stepped down from one show, fans can rest assured that she won’t be leaving our screens anytime soon.
Maya has responded to the rumours, though, and isn’t too happy with the misinformation.
She said in an Instagram story to her 3.2 million followers that the rumours of her quitting the series are untrue.
She said: “I will be hosting Love Island next year & have no plans to leave right now… Fake news is fake news-ing as usual.”
Fans can trust and believe that the Jama will be back again, and hopefully forever!
Love Island will be on at 9 pm on ITVX & ITV2 every night, bar Saturday.
