Love Island host Maya Jama apologises as she struggles to present and forced to halt show


Maya Jama had to take a brief pause during Sunday night's Love Island: Aftersun as her voice gave out, thanks to her weekend at Glastonbury. The stunning host was joined by Sam Thompson and former Love Islander Amy Hart on the show, as well as former All Stars Hannah Elizabeth and Anton Danyluk.

Current Islander Ciaran Davies' family also joined the studio audience to chat about his latest romantic endeavours on the show – mainly his romance with Nicole.

Just moments into the programme, Maya, 29, halted proceedings, explaining: "Welcome to Love Island: Aftersun. Sorry guys, excuse the voice, blame Glastonbury!"

She joked about her condition, saying: "I am a crust today - but tonight is going to be a good one! Because what a week! The twists were twisting, we had a dumping that shocked the nation and the Casa Amor doors were opened! Can I get a woo?"

She continued: "Here to make a sense of it all is Love Island legends Hannah and Anton, turbocharged and ready to spill it all - Ronnie and Harriett are here - and here to talk dropping the L-word, it's Ciaran's mum and his best mates. And now you know it wouldn't be the same without our two blonde bombshells of our very own - Amy Hart and Sam Thompson are here. And breathe!".

Maya and her boyfriend Stormzy were spotted soaking up the festival vibes at Glastonbury over the weekend. Always a musical calendar highlight, the weekend had a stellar line up this year with stars like Dua Lipa, Shania Twain, D-Block Europe, Coldplay, and Cyndi Lauper gracing the stages.

Maya and her beau, who rekindled their romance last year, seemed smitten as they enjoyed D-Block Europe's set from a prime spot. Stormzy, 30, was clearly in a romantic mood, donning heart-shaped sunglasses. The rapper was decked out in a striking Valentino ensemble, complete with a white-and-red raincoat, matching trousers, and a bucket hat.

Meanwhile, Maya, looked effortlessly chic in an oversized jacket paired with vintage-style black-rimmed sunglasses, keeping it cool with minimal jewellery. She was captured in one snapshot living her best life, dancing with a drink in hand, reports the Mirror.

Other stars seen at the festival were Cara Delevingne, Anya Taylor-Joy, Sienna Miller, Paul Mescal and Daisy Edgar-Jones among others.

Meanwhile in Love Island, the Casa Amor twist has hit the villa, with the arrival of 12 new bombshells set to cause drama.
