Maya Jama has arrived in South Africa ahead of her Love Island debut next Monday.
The former Glow Up presenter, who is taking over from former Love Island host Laura Whitmore, posted a collection of Instagram snaps of herself and her friendship group lapping up the sunshine before she gets stuck into work next week.
The brunette bombshell, 28, looked in high spirits as she touched down in South Africa following her long-haul flight.
Maya opted for a casual ensemble for the flight, but somehow still looked chic and runway ready after stepping off the plane as she sported a tight green crop top, an oversized hoodie, and a pair of matching joggers.
