We know each other well and everything we did last series went well, so I’m excited to add even more to it. More opinions, more fun, more vibes!"
Maya loves being able to have a "personal connection" to the Islanders when they enter the show.
"I love being able to have a bit more of a personal relationship with the Islanders and being able to see all the behind-the-scenes of what goes into making the show. It’s a nice feeling to be involved in a show that I’ve loved and been a fan of for so long," she said.
