ITV is pulling out all the stops to keep Maya Jama as the face of Love Island, offering the star presenter a staggering eight-figure deal to remain at the helm of the hit reality show.
According to insiders, the broadcaster is determined to fend off rival networks who have been eyeing Jama’s rising star power. The deal, rumoured to be worth over £1 million, reflects her immense popularity and the show’s continued success under her leadership.
Why ITV Won’t Let Go
Since taking over as host in 2023, Maya Jama has brought fresh energy to Love Island, winning over fans with her charisma and effortless charm. ITV bosses are keen to secure her long-term commitment, especially as competitors circle with tempting offers.
"Maya has been a game-changer for the show," a source revealed. "The audience loves her, and ITV sees her as irreplaceable. They’re willing to pay top dollar to keep her."
The Battle for TV’s Hottest Host
Jama’s meteoric rise hasn’t gone unnoticed, with rival broadcasters reportedly preparing their own big-money bids. However, ITV’s latest offer is seen as a decisive move to shut down any potential poaching attempts.
With Love Island remaining one of the UK’s most-watched reality series, securing Jama’s future is a top priority for ITV as they gear up for another explosive season.
