During her appearance on ITV’s This Morning, Maya reflected on being offered the coveted hosting gig.
She told presenters Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary: “It was a no-brainer, obviously, because I’m a massive fan of the show.”
“I was like, ‘OK, when does it start?’… It’s all a bit of a blur, to be honest. But I found out and said, ‘Yes, absolutely!’ and now we’re off to South Africa.”
