Earlier today, BBC presenters Lauren Laverne and Jack Saunder hinted that Stormzy will make a surprise appearance at Glastonbury Festival 2024.
Jack replied, “I just heard there might be some special guests at Little Simz… I can give you a little hint. Someone said the weather was going to be nice this weekend, but it could be a bit stormy…”
Stormzy became the first black British solo artist to headline the music event in 2019.
The surprise appearance came after Stormzy was spotted at the festival with girlfriend and Love Island presenter Maya Jama.
The couple were spotted putting on a loved-up show during a D-Block Europe set on Friday.
The 29-year-old TV presenter and the singer were seen dancing and laughing near the barriers of the other stage.
The ITV presenter and her boyfriend were later pictured holding hands as they partied in the fields at Worthy Farm.
Stormzy looked like he was living his best life as he took photos of Maya with a disposable camera.
They went out with his buddy, recently dumped Love Islander Omar Nyame.
Maya showed off her figure in a little black bandeau, which she paired with a patterned jacket and matching skirt.

She let her brunette locks flow naturally down her back and wore black Hunter boots as part of her outfit.
Meanwhile, Stormzy looked trendy in a beige and red jacket and bucket hat combination with white love heart sunglasses.
The couple reunited in early 2023. They previously dated for four years before splitting, with the rapper publicly stating that he had “never loved anyone like I loved her.”
Earlier in the day, Maya jumped into the festival celebrations and enjoyed a can of beer as she traveled to the iconic location with her friends.
The TV personality enjoyed a last minute blow-dry and Aqua Tight facial with Shane Cooper to transform her complexion before four days of non-stop partying at the festival.
She enjoyed a pink gin and lemonade on Thursday evening while traveling to the festival, but showed she wouldn’t put up with the rigors of a campsite by posting a video of her lavish accommodation at Babbington House.
For more than 200,000 Glastonbury visitors, it’s a frantic race to Somerset to find a square meter of space in the festival’s busy campsites and pitch their tents for the weekend.
But for the rich and famous the experience looks very different as they enjoy the pools and spa of the five-star Babbington House hotel, 30 minutes from the Worthy Farm site.
The hideaway is a hotspot for A-listers, with the likes of Holly Willoughby, Peter Crouch and Abbey Clancy, and the Gallagher brothers have stayed there in recent years.
