Maya Jama has revealed her favourite moment in Love Island history.
Following the success of the winter series of the hit dating show, the 28-year-old is returning to host her second series – which begins on Monday, June 5.
Earlier this week, ten brand new singletons looking for love were confirmed to appear in the Majorcan villa.
Speaking ahead of the upcoming series, Maya has revealed her favourite moment in Love Island history.
The TV personality said: “It has to be when Maura [Higgins] was going to the hideaway with Tom [Walker] but overheard him talking about her to the boys which led to her kicking off at him in the garden.”
“It was just the instant flip-over, he nearly had a chance, but he got caught out and ruined it.”
Maura won a lot of female fans during her time on the show, – notably giving her co-star Tom a dressing down for making a misogynistic comment.
Maura and Tom were about to head off for a night in the Hideaway when she over heard him asking the boys: “It will be interesting to see if she’s all mouth or not…”
The former ring girl quickly called him out for making a “d***head comment”, and bluntly told him to go “f*** himself”.
Tom then tried to win Maura back by apologising and explaining it was a “miscommunication”, but she was having none of it, telling Tom: “What do you mean miscommunication? You said what you said!”
After a lot of back and forth, she eventually told him to “p*** off”, cementing one of the greatest moments in Love Island history.
Maya will preside over all the villa action this summer, whilst famed comedian and narrator Iain Stirling returns to voiceover each and every episode of the much-loved format.
Returning to ITV2 and Virgin Media in June, the Islanders must do their best to flirt, date and couple up in a bid to avoid being ‘dumped’ from the Island.
With new arrivals, heads may turn, while others will prove their true feelings. From romance and heart-to-hearts, to betrayal, bombshells and broken hearts, there’s never a dull moment in the ultimate search for love.
More texts, fire pit gatherings and challenges await the lovestruck Islanders, meaning there’ll be plenty for them to dish the dirt on in the Beach Hut.
Twists and turns will follow every step of the way, with shock recouplings, unexpected breakups and dramatic dumpings.
As the couples attempt to win the hearts of each other – and the public – one couple will ultimately triumph and be crowned Love Island winners for summer 2023.
Love Island begins on Monday, June 5 on Virgin Media One.
