Maura Higgins Tipped for Love Island Hosting Job

On Monday, presenter Maya Jama announced a multi-project deal with Netflix, marking her next career move one day after stepping away from ITV's Love Island after nine seasons.
Jama exited Love Island on Sunday, stating it was time to "throw myself into something new." The 32-year-old had hosted the ITV series since 2023, replacing Laura Whitmore.
Anne Mensah, Netflix's vice president of U.K. content, praised Jama as "fabulous," noting "She has an infectious energy and an ability to captivate audiences." Jama previously starred in The Gentlemen season two.
ITV has begun a search for a new Love Island host, with industry speculation linking television personalities GK Barry and Olivia Attwood to the vacancy. Plans will be announced in due course.
Details regarding Jama's specific Netflix projects remain under wraps, though she stated there are "really exciting things coming." The presenter expects to return to screens shortly through this new partnership.
