Maya Jama swapped the Love Island villa for South Kensington as she brought the sunshine vibes to London for the V&A summer party. The ITV2 host led the glamorous arrivals at the bash on Wednesday, posing in a stunning floor-length white gown on the red carpet. The event has been dubbed the UK's answer to the Met Gala.

Taking to Instagram after the festivities, the 31-year-old shared a video of cheerful fans outside a pub, who were thrilled to see her back in the UK, chanting: "We love Maya Jama." She was joined at the iconic museum by a string of equally fashionable faces, including BBC Radio 1 host Vick Hope, who got the summer memo in a sheer black dress with a floral design and strappy black heels.
