Love Island's Maya Jama 'blamed herself' for tragic death of ex boyfriend

The British version of Love Island is on the move in the States.

Love Island OG star Hannah Elizabeth had us all talking from the moment she strutted into the All Stars villa. But it wasn’t so much for the 33 year old’s blindingly bright yellow neon bikini that had fans doing a double-take. Or that larger-than-life personality.

At the start of another eventful week in the Love Island villa, our favourite Islanders were dealt a crushing blow when two stars were dumped just moments after welcoming Tyler Cruickshank into the villa. Sadly after gathering around the fire pit, Demi Jones and Luis Morrison were brutally dumped after welcoming a very familiar bombshell into the fold.Things first kicked off when Maya Jama summoned everyone to the fire pit with an all important text message, and asked newbie Arabella Chi to choose which boy she wanted to steal from her fellow ladies.

Love Island All Stars caused chaos during tonight's instalment as bosses added a brand new bombshell into the villa. The incredible moment is sure to prompt all kinds of problems as the returning islander was Tyler Cruickshank, 28, who joined the group. Completely bowled over by the arrival of her ex-boyfriend, 29 year old Kaz Kamwi's jaw dropped in shock as she adjusted to the unexpected arrival.

Love Island bosses have reportedly dished out a ‘flying ban’ to host Maya Jama while she films All Stars in South Africa. ITV was reportedly 'mortified' by how often Maya was flying between the UK and South Africa while filming the series last year.

Maya Jama tells us there’s not an easy way to her heart as she shimmers beneath the South African sunshine at the sumptuous Love Island villa, before adding coyly, “There shouldn’t be an easy way to anyone’s heart.” She’s the glamorous host of the nation’s favourite dating show, but Maya’s lessons in love have all been learned firsthand from her own roller-coaster love life.The TV presenter, 29, is once again wrapped up with her soulmate Stormzy, 30, four years after their romance first ended following rumours he’d cheated. Maya cut him out of her life but, in Love Island parlance, Stormzy didn’t stop grafting, writing songs about Maya and telling the world, “I want to marry her, I want to have her children.” For a while his declarations fell on deaf ears and in 2021, NBA player Ben Simmons proposed to Maya with a dazzling emerald-cut diamond ring worth £800,000.

Maya Jama makes an epic return to the Love Island villa tonight with some huge news for the Islanders – revealing there's a new bombshell arriving and a huge twist. She says: “Hello you gorgeous lot.

Love Island's Jake Cornish is back in the UK after a dramatic exit from ITV All Stars, just three days after entering the villa for a second time. The star, who first appeared on Love Island in 2021, was tipped to join All Stars but left mere days into the competition after failing to connect with anyone. In a further emotional twist, Jake was shocked when his ex-girlfriend, Liberty Poole, also walked in, as the public had voted for them to couple up on the show and rekindle their former romance.

There was plenty of drama raised from the first episode of Love Island All Stars (four exes back in a villa together? Brutal) but the most amount of drama came from Maya Jama's hair, in the best possible way. Maya blessed us with two different hairstyles for the opening show, debuting both a defined, voluminous curly look as well as a sleek half-updo. We can't pick our favourite but it seems her followers can because as soon as the 29-year-old posted the curly look to her Instagram page, the comment section lit up with praise for the style.

Love Island's first-ever All Stars series is now underway, and all eyes are on the returning presenter, Maya Jama. In fact, given Maya's history of selling out outfits (the 'Maya' effect, as we now call it), we wouldn't be surprised if the star garnered more attention in this series than the All Stars themselves. With an expected duration of two months, we're also looking forward to weeks' worth of Maya looks and outfit inspiration as the series hots up.

Love Island’s Mitch Taylor has revealed that he has a 'game plan' to get him to the final of Love Island: All Stars. The 28 year old gas engineer from Sheffield appeared on Love Island in the summer of 2023, but he stirred up strong reactions from viewers, who accused him of 'gaslighting' Abi Moores, amongst other things.
