Maya Jama appears to have surprised ITV by stepping down from Love Island, despite being named as host in sponsorship material circulated only days earlier
The broadcaster reportedly adjusted the programme’s schedule in an effort to retain her, following her successful appearance on Celebrity Traitors
Jama, who took over the ITV2 dating show in 2023, said she was grateful for nine memorable series but ready to pursue new opportunities
ITV is expected to announce her successor in the coming weeks, ahead of the next Love Island: All Stars series in South Africa.
