Love Island viewers joked that Maya Jama’s ex-boyfriend Stormzy will soon be heading to the villa to win back the show’s host, following their split in 2019.
The 28-year-old TV presenter looked amazing in a little black dress with cutout details during Monday’s series premiere as he strutted into the South African village in a slow-motion clip.
And on Twitter after her red-hot entrance, fans called the rapper, 29, a “dumb dumb man” for letting her go while questioning how she sleeps at night.

Funny: On Twitter after her sizzling entrance, fans called the rapper, 29, a “dumb dumb man” for letting her go while questioning how she sleeps at night.
The new series of Love Island kicked off on Monday night and new host Maya certainly made quite an impression.
He even linked up with the new singles while joking about his own relationship problems in the first episode.
The beauty brought up her past as she headed to the new islands.
She quipped, “Don’t forget, finding your perfect match is never that simple, trust me I know.”
‘Finding your perfect match is never that simple’: The beauty, who previously dated rapper Stormzy, brought up her past while heading to the new islands (pictured in 2017)
Maya and Stormzy dated for four years, from 2015 to 2019, and while rumored to have rekindled their romance, she insisted she’s “very, very single.”
It comes after Stormzy previously admitted that he blames himself for his split from the brunette beauty.
Despite this, the rap star believes the experience really helped him “grow up.”
In an episode of the BBC’s Louis Theroux Interviews, the Vossi Bop hitmaker said: “My breakup, that was probably the biggest catalyst for growth as a man.”
It was like, OK, you made a mistake and you lose someone you loved, someone you cared about, someone special to you.
‘That’s probably the biggest loss a man can have, isn’t it? Far from someone passing away, that’s the biggest loss you can have.
During Love Island, Maya, who curtsied from her villa after taking over for Laura Whitmore, introduced the ten new contestants and they were asked to pair up.
25-year-old Ellie Spence and 23-year-old jock Tom Clare went head-to-head to win a place in the village. But it was the semi-professional footballer who was finally given the opportunity.
Exciting: Maya made quite an impression on the show, leaving fans stunned as she strutted around in a number-hugging figure entering the villa
Tom will now have 24 hours to meet the girls, before he has to choose one of them.
Maya made quite an impression at the opening show, leaving fans stunned as she strutted in an embraced figure upon entering the villa.
She left little to the imagination when the dress hit her thigh, where it featured a slit down her leg.
Maya also added inches to her amazing figure with a pair of strappy heels.
Unbelievable: Before that episode, she welcomed the new cast in a stunning low-cut green maxi dress as she curtsied to her villa after replacing Laura Whitmore.
She garnered unanimous praise from viewers when she arrived in a flowing dress with a plunging detail that accentuated her cleavage.
Viewers were quick to take to Twitter to joke “step up if you like Maya Jama” as she stole the show.
Others added: ‘Maya Jama outshining the female contestants, fancy going in and having to stand next to her.’
“Maya Jama killing as usual,” wrote a third.
