Maya Jama dazzles in fierce leopard print dress as she celebrates her debut on The Masked Singer panel with Davina McCall

Maya Jama put on a dazzling show in a leopard print bodycon dress on Saturday as she celebrated her debut on The Masked Singer panel with Davina McCall.

The TV presenter, 30, looked stunning in the stylish ensemble which featured a strapless neckline, matching gloves and a figure-hugging fit.

She added inches to her frame with a pair of silver stiletto heels and styled her locks in voluminous waves as she posed for several glamorous photos.

Meanwhile, Davina, 57, cut a glamorous figure in a neon yellow embellished dress as she and Maya walked around backstage.

The star styled her brunette locks into a loose ponytail and let her bangs flow freely around her face.

Maya shared the entire series of photos with her 3.2 million followers and captioned the post: “Happy to join the Masked Singer family.”

‘Felt good officially with my notebook, nervous as a newbie, but this series is so much fun! & it starts TONIGHTTT at 7pm & tomorrow at 6:30pm .”

‘Put on your detective skills and watch ITV & ITVX.’

“Who is that behind the mask?!?!..”

She also added a glamorous selfie with fellow judge Jonathan Ross, who cut a dapper figure in an olive green blazer and funky red and white shirt.

Maya seemed to be over the moon as she sat back in the judge’s chair and settled into her new role.

She also stopped for a quick photo with Mo Farah, which she included in her carousel of behind-the-scenes photos.

It comes after Joel Dommett revealed the awkward blunder he made when Maya Jama first joined The Masked Singer judge.

The presenter, 39, said viewers should brace for “twists and turns” as the new batch of episodes airs, adding that he even saw one contestant storm off stage.

Series three, which airs on Saturday, January 4, 2025 at 7pm on ITV1, will also be the first time fans see Maya’s debut as a panelist on the show.

Joel opened up about what it was like filming with the Love Island presenter, 30 The sun he made one blunder that made him “feel really bad.”

Explaining that he doesn’t really keep up with gossip, the presenter explained: ‘I remember I kept singing a Stormzy song during recording and I felt really bad about it at the time.

“I have this song in my head, I can’t stop singing, and then someone pulled me aside and said, ‘That’s someone who just went through a breakup.’

Stormzy and Maya announced their shocking split in July 2024 after issuing a joint statement on Instagram that read: ‘We fell madly in love in 2014, split in 2019 and then spent five years trying to maneuver ourselves apart to live.

They confirmed the split was ‘final’ after previously going their separate ways after a five-year relationship in 2019 and reconnecting in August 2023.

Although it was thought the couple split after disagreements over when to settle down, with Stormzy being more of a homeboy and Maya more career-driven, she confirmed last month that this was not the case.

After photos emerged of the 31-year-old rapper and his new girlfriend Victoria Monet, Maya took to Instagram to take the opportunity to say that the “I don’t want to settle down and have kids” narrative is a lie. ‘

It was reported that the former couple split because Maya wanted to focus on her career instead of settling down with the “homebody” rapper.

She has since sparked romance rumors with Manchester City star Ruben Dias after the pair celebrated the New Year together in Ibiza.

And a recent Instagram post from Dias’ New Year’s celebrations has further fueled speculation that they are dating.

The compilation of eleven photos included a photo of two people staring at a sunset with their backs to the camera and their faces hidden, although they appear to be a man and a woman – and fans think it is Maya.

While she didn’t post any photos with the soccer star to celebrate the new year, Maya did post an Instagram Story to share her excitement about joining The Masked Singer.

She posted a photo of herself back on the show with Davina McCall, Jonathan Ross and Mo Gilligan.

Maya wrote the caption, “My first episode of The Masked Singer tomorrow,” alongside a star emoji.

It comes after Joel revealed the Masked Singer’s return has “got crazier” as he said new show judge Maya is “living a really ridiculous life.”

Joel told Principle Magazine: “It’s getting weirder and weirder. I think it’s getting weirder and weirder.

‘And if you thought it was weird, it gets even weirder. And we are also gaining more self-confidence as a production.

‘We’re adding more twists and interesting elements that you wouldn’t necessarily expect with the format.

“It’s just fun and we really enjoy it, but the production allows me to do pretty much whatever I want.”
