Maya Jama, the host of the popular UK dating series ‘Love Island UK,’ has teased a major ‘shakeup’ to the show’s Season 13 finale. The finale, which is set to air on Monday, July 27 on ITV2 in the UK, will feature a different format than the rest of the season.

‘I will be in the villa again before the final, maybe once, maybe twice,’ Jama said. ‘So that’s exciting.’ She continued, ‘They don’t let me tell you, guys, anything. They did tell me that this final is going to be a bit different to the rest of them. They’re shaking up the format. I still don’t even know what that shakeup is, but I know there’s going to be a different format for the final.’
Jama’s comments have sparked excitement among fans of the show, who are eagerly anticipating the finale. The host has become a fan favorite due to her wit, charm, and ability to connect with the contestants on a human level. Her presence in the villa has been limited this season, but she has made the most of her appearances, often bringing a touch of humor and lightheartedness to the show.
When asked about her limited time in the villa, Jama explained that it was a deliberate decision by the producers. ‘I was actually upset myself,’ she said. ‘I’m like, ‘Hey, I’m ready. Put me in.’ But the producers know what they’re doing. I think they just had so much drama and entertainment backed up that they’re like, ‘We don’t actually need you in here yet.’
As the host of ‘Love Island UK,’ Jama has become a household name in the UK and has gained a significant following in the US. The show, which streams on Hulu in the US, has plastered billboards of Jama in major cities, promoting the show and showcasing her growing profile. Jama has spoken about the surreal experience of seeing her face on billboards in the US, saying, ‘It’s been amazing. I get sent photos of those billboards, which is wild to be honest.’

Jama has also spoken about her mentorship program, which she has spearheaded to help young women from disadvantaged backgrounds break into the entertainment industry. She has expressed her passion for the program and her desire to help others achieve their goals. ‘I just think because it is really difficult to enter this industry and to just even know where to start,’ she said. ‘But there’s so many talented young people, and they don’t have the resources and they don’t have the connections and they don’t have the hand to help them.’
