Maya Jama, host of Love Island, has stated she has "no plans" to leave the show despite pursuing an acting career. She has landed a role in the upcoming series "The Gentleman" and admitted that acting has "always been in the back of my mind," stemming from a failed audition for "Skins" as a teenager.
Despite previously believing a show's value could be maximized within two years, Jama feels "Love Island" continues to grow and that it would be unwise to depart at this time. She enjoys the role and will continue hosting as long as she finds it fulfilling.
Jama described her audition for "The Gentleman" as a "safe entrance point" into acting. The article also mentions the upcoming launch of "Love Island: All Stars," featuring twelve former contestants, with predictions for early eliminations and potential winners.
