Maya Jama On Future As ‘Love Island UK’ Host & Rumors She’s Replacing Emma Willis As ‘The Voice UK’ Season 15 Host

Maya Jama is a multifaceted personality as the host of Love Island UK and is set to star in Netflix’s The Gentleman Season 2. As Jama expands her talents into other areas, there have been rumors that she is looking to step away from the ITV2 dating series. “I never know,” Jama told Deadline. “[The UK press] always do this. Every time I do a series — that’s happened for the last three years — they’ll say, ‘Maya is leaving.’ And I think they just throw it out there just in case. Then people grab onto it, and they’re like, ‘Oh, are you leaving?'” She continued, “But I never decide if I’m doing the next series until the end of one. So it’s fake news that I’m leaving, but I always decide at the end of a series if I’m going to continue the next year. So we’ll find out.” Watch on Deadline Jama clarified that when she signs on to host Love Island UK, the contract also includes hosting Love Island All Stars, which typically runs at the beginning of each other (in the winter months), but she will not know until she finishes her current duties as host of Season 13. With Jama being so beloved by the public and reaching new audiences via Hulu, which holds the rights to Love Island UK in the U.S., the high-profile host is in demand. A new rumor that came up recently was that she would be taking over as The Voice UK host after longtime presenter Emma Willis. Willis recently was confirmed as one of the hosts of BBC One’s Strictly Come Dancing and is reportedly leaving the ITV1 singing competition after Season 14 ends later this year. “Oh yeah, so funny,” Jama said on the rumors she’s hosting The Voice UK. “The UK press… they just fling everything out there. I’m not hosting that.” The Love Island UK Season 13 finale is set for Monday, July 27 on ITV2 in the UK, with U.S. audiences able to stream the final episode on Thursday, July 30 on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+.
