Maya Jama presented a relaxed and comfortable figure as she touched down in the United Kingdom alongside a host of Love Island stars on Wednesday, following a significant five-hour flight delay. The 31-year-old television presenter appeared in remarkably good spirits despite the lengthy hold-up departing from Cape Town, South Africa. This journey came hot on the heels of the dramatic ITV2 reality show final, which aired on Monday night.
Airport Arrival Style
Eschewing the glamorous and often risqué dresses she is known for on screen, Maya opted for a far more casual airport ensemble. She wore a practical grey zip-front hoodie, which she layered over a simple white T-shirt and paired with classic black tracksuit bottoms. In a bid to maintain a low profile amidst the airport bustle, the ITV star pulled up her hood and shielded her eyes with a pair of sunglasses as she navigated her way through Heathrow Terminal.
Completing her travel-ready look, Maya styled her dark hair into two neat plaits and finished the outfit with a pair of comfortable Nike trainers. Her arrival was part of a larger group returning from the show, with the delay reportedly caused by a power cut at Cape Town International Airport following a fire, which left passengers waiting for hours before takeoff.
Love Island Couples Reunite
On the same delayed flight, Maya was accompanied by several contestants from the Love Island: All Stars series. Among them, Harrison Solomon and Belle Hassan put on a notably affectionate display for onlookers. The couple were seen linking arms, with Harrison pushing a trolley stacked high with their suitcases. Their romance was visibly still in full swing as they shared a kiss in the arrivals terminal.
Belle cut a casual figure in a blue tracksuit, complete with white crop details and a black baseball cap. Meanwhile, Harrison, who finished in sixth place on the show alongside Belle, sported a black tracksuit and carried a Louis Vuitton backpack. Elsewhere in the terminal, other female contestants including Helena Ford, Jessy Potts, and Jess Harding were spotted sharing emotional hugs as they prepared to go their separate ways after landing back on home soil.
Standout Arrival Fashion
AJ Bunker certainly turned heads with her jaw-dropping arrival outfit. The star, who only spent a few days back in the villa during the series, showcased her sensational figure in a fitted grey catsuit that featured a daring plunging neckline. She teamed the striking one-piece with white trainers and matching long socks, making a bold style statement despite the long-haul flight.
All Stars Voting Results Revealed
The return journey followed the highly anticipated revelation of the Love Island: All Stars voting results after Monday night's epic final. The third season of the spin-off show crowned Ciaran Davies and Samie Elishi as its winners on the evening of February 23, 2026.
The victorious pair triumphed over fellow finalists Millie Court and Zac Woodworth, Leanne Amaning and Scott van-der-Sluis, Lucinda Strafford and Sean Stone, and Whitney and Yamen Sanders. Official figures shared on the show's Instagram page confirmed that loved-up couple Ciaran and Samie secured 35.22% of the public vote. Millie and Zac followed with 23.38%, Leanne and Scott received 19.41%, Lucinda and Sean garnered 12.77%, and Whitney and Yamen ended with 9.23%.
Reactions and Theories
While many fans were delighted with the outcome, the results sparked some controversy online, with a number of viewers suggesting producer interference. Comments on social media questioned the legitimacy of the vote, with one user stating, "That’s not our votes, that’s the producers votes; I don’t believe it, who’s fiddling the votes?" However, others rushed to support the new winning couple, praising them as "the most genuine humble couple ever."
When asked why they believed the public voted for them, Ciaran remarked, "We stayed in our own lane, we didn’t go and cause huge problems in the Villa." Samie added, "Maybe we’re relatable, real people? I like to think so. Very true to ourselves." The couple emotionally thanked viewers for their support during their celebratory interview.
Series Recap and Contestant Insights
Love Island: All Stars returned to television screens on January 15 this year, featuring previous stars of the franchise returning to the South African villa for a second chance at finding love. Winner Ciaran first shot to fame on the ITV2 show back in 2024, where he placed second alongside his ex-girlfriend Nicole Samuel. Meanwhile, Samie originally took part in the ninth series in 2023 and later returned to the All Stars villa last year, but failed to find a lasting connection at that time.
The series was not without its dramas and controversies. Harrison Solomon used the final episode to address claims from his ex-girlfriend Lauren Wood that they were "still together" when he entered the villa. The footballer hit back at the accusations, stating it was a "shame" she had spoken publicly about their failed relationship and confirming they had split amicably at the end of October.
As the stars disperse and return to their normal lives, the third season of Love Island: All Stars concludes, leaving behind a trail of romance, fashion moments, and the inevitable debates that follow every reality TV finale.
