Maya Jama has reportedly signed up for series three of The Gentlemen, after stars of the show dismissed rumors that Meghan Markle would be joining the cast.
The Love Island presenter, 32, made her scripted acting debut in the second series of Guy Ritchie’s Netflix hit, in which she plays Aisha, the wife of a criminal associate of Theo James’s character, Eddie Horniman.
Maya is said to have confirmed that she will return for series three during the premiere earlier this week.
A source said The sun: ‘Maya was great in season two and bosses will be happy to see her back for the third series. She attracted even more viewers and was a natural on set.”
Meanwhile, Maya told the publication that director Guy was very reassuring when it came to filming her scenes.
She said: “He doesn’t feel as intimidating as you might think because he is who he is.

Meghan, 45, has not given up hope of appearing in Guy Ritchie’s crime drama now that she is back in Britain, a source told the Daily Mail.
‘He’s very personable and said, ‘Yes, you’re doing well,’ and reassured me, which was very nice.
“He’s just very engaging and kind of a genius to watch because everyone practices his lines and then he says something that’s much better than the original.”
The Daily Mail has contacted Maya’s rep for comment.
The new look at the upcoming series sees James’ character Eddie take on the Glass family empire as he attempts to regain full control of his estate.
At the start of the clip he says: ‘400 years ago this estate stretched as far as the eye could see’, over beautiful footage of its vast grounds. “I want it all back.”
However, the path to total domination is never smooth, especially when the opponent is drug lord Bobby.
Bobby is aware of Eddie and Susie’s ambitions to expand their criminal empire, as he tells them that he knows he hopes he could support their efforts to “decriminalize marijuana.”
It comes after cast members ruled out The Duchess Of Sussex joining the show on the red carpet at the London premiere of the second season.

In his typically direct style, British actor and former professional footballer Vinnie said: “I think it’s hot air.”
He added, “We have a lot of beautiful women in this series, so I’m not sure there’s room for more.”
When Theo was asked about the Sussex rumors, he joked: ‘No. Prince Harry plays one of my love interests. So that’s the Meghan Markle thing.”
He later said, “I think it’s a false rumor. She would fit in well because she actually comes from the royal family, but I think the practical aspects of that are impossible.”
Fellow Londoner Ray Winstone added: ‘It’s the first I’ve heard of it’, but added that she would be a ‘nicer’ signing than him.
And Hugh Bonneville was equally dismissive, describing it as “a genius piece of marketing from the person who came up with that idea.” And new star Maya said: ‘I’d be the last to know.’
Guy refused to give red carpet interviews in which he could have quashed rumors that he had held preliminary talks with Meghan about a possible role in the third series of the hit.
