The TV presenter replaces Laura Whitmore for series nine of the popular ITV2 dating show.

Paul Mortimer, ITV's director of reality programming said on Wednesday that finding someone to follow the "wonderful" Whitmore "was never going to be easy".

"In Maya Jama though, we have another high profile fan of the show who'll be a great addition to the Love Island family," he stated. "Cool, charming and charismatic, I speak for us all when I say Maya will also bring a unique presenting style to the show, as did Laura and, of course, the very much missed Caroline Flack. We're very pleased to have her on board."Former Radio 1 DJ Jama began her broadcasting career co-hosting Trending Live on 4Music and Cannonball on ITV, before going on to co-present the Mobo Awards.

"I've always been such a massive Love Island fan and I'm so excited to be hosting one of the nation's favourite shows!" she said in a separate statement given to the press.The Love Island series eight title was taken by winning couple Ekin-Su Culculoglu and Davide Sanclimenti in Mallorca in August.
