ITV star throws hat in ring to replace Maya Jama on Love Island

An ITV star has thrown her hat in the ring to replace Maya Jama as Love Island host after the presenter announced she would be stepping away from the series.

The 32-year-old has presented the dating show since 2023 after Laura Whitmore’s exit. She said she has stepped down to “throw herself into something new.”

An ITV spokesperson said the broadcaster would announce plans for the forthcoming series of Love Island: All Stars “in due course.”

On Monday’s Loose Women, TikTok star and panellist GK Barry joked: “Let me in there. I’ll do anything, firstborn child, have it.”
