Maya Jama to step down from presenting Love Island

[SabreIsMyFave]

For those interested. I wonder who will replace her?

Who cares? It’s the worst kind of TV.

I'd be wanting to put a long distance between myself and that kind of programme too.

I'm hoping it's Maura.

Definitely putting up a strong signal of moving on. I've only seen the trailers for Love Island, but on them she has a totally different accent from her real voice on The Traitors.

Yeah, I noticed that too. You could hear her Bristol accent in The Traitors a bit more.

I wonder if she has been offered new opportunities after Celebrity Traitors, and that's why she's standing down from Love Island?

I think the Love Island fans would be happy with her!

Exactly, previously she sounded more MLE

She did, didn't she?

I thought she was very talented. Maura Higgins would be a great replacement

But liked by many. There’s literally hundreds of TV channels, so more than enough to keep everyone happy.

Agree with both these statements. Maya was good at the job of presenting, and Maura would be a great replacement. She hosted the spin-off show Love Island USA: Aftersun in America, and was quite popular.

Exactly! No-one has to watch it if they don't want to.

Good, I think she can do better, I understand why she used it as a stepping stone though
I think she's great and I just love looking at her 😂 I'm straight, but she's just so stunning

She is annoyingly attractive isn't she @Getsomemeatonyerbones 😆

After watching her vibe on Celebrity Traitors I was convinced she was after Claudia’s job. She won’t get it as she’s got no sense of humour.

But…I’m pretty certain she could replace Alan Cummings on the US version. She looks the part and she’d be used to dealing with all the ex-reality show contestants they feature.

No sense of humour??

I agree about the no sense of humour from what I've seen of her. She rarely cracks a smile.

I've never watched Love island and never will. I would rather watch paint dry! As for Maya Jama- I never really knew who she was until celebrity traitors. Her voice was very irritating

It’s a good call at some point that show will likely get cancelled and she’s better to leave before it goes down.

There’s reasons why West Country people hide their real accent. The only people who are allowed to be Bristolian on TV are funny/ unfanciable types.

Maura won't do it because she's just signed up to host a Blind Date remake in the States.

I reckon Olivia Attwood might get it because ITV seem to love her.

Oh yeah, Olivia Attwood. She would be good! I really like her, and I like the shows she does.

Very true, other accents have become fashionable but WC is still "comical". Ive been told to soften my Rs on corporate videos before because it "sounds better"

That's such a shame that people are so snobby about the Bristol accent.

Josie Gibson has done well with her strong regional west country accent, but she the exception rather than the rule. See also Alison Hammond: strong regional (Brummie) accent but still popular, and in demand. But not that many people with her accent have done well in TV really (as presenters.) It's such a shame Maya is made to feel that she has to hide her authentic accent.

I know a few people on here have mentioned this on already, but a few stories are circulating now that Love Island favourite Olivia Attwood is rumoured to be the one who replaces Maya. Just hearsay at the moment, but she is in the running... Ex Love Islander Maura Higgins is also rumoured to be in the running...
