“A lot of people online said, ‘We want Maya to host.’ So I kind of felt like, I don’t want to let anyone down.

“I don’t want it to be like, ‘You guys wanted me to do it and now I’m shit.’ So I felt that pressure, and to get the slow motion walk right…

Talking about her famous sexy strut on the show, she explained: ‘You do a normal strut about three or four times. You have to sexy a little.

My friends and I the night before we went we had a big girls night out and they were like, “Okay, show us how you’re going to walk.”

“As soon as I got there and the camera crew was there, I was like, ‘I can’t do it,’ but you do it four or five times and they pick the best one.”
