Maya Jama, the vibrant host of ITV's hit reality show Love Island, has fired back at a critic who questioned her unbiased hosting style. The 29-year-old presenter took to social media to proudly declare that she doesn't rely on cue cards, showcasing her natural flair for live television.
During a recent Q&A session on Instagram, a fan commented: 'You're not very unbiased when you're hosting Love Island.' Without missing a beat, Jama responded: 'Shut up lol I don't use cue cards, I'm just being me.'
The exchange highlights Jama's confidence in her authentic presenting approach, which has won her legions of fans since taking over the Love Island hosting duties in 2023. Her unfiltered and engaging style has been praised for bringing fresh energy to the popular dating show.
Jama's rise to become one of Britain's most sought-after TV personalities has been meteoric. From her early days on BBC Radio 1 to fronting major entertainment shows, she's built a reputation for her quick wit and natural charisma.
This isn't the first time the Bristol-born star has addressed criticism about her presenting style. Earlier this year, she spoke openly about the pressures of live television and the importance of staying true to herself on screen.
Fans were quick to rally behind Jama following the social media exchange, with many praising her for keeping it real. One supporter wrote: 'This is exactly why we love Maya - no fake presenter vibes, just 100% authentic.'
As Love Island continues to dominate summer ratings, Jama's unscripted approach looks set to keep viewers entertained through the current series and beyond.
