Princess Andre wants Love Island host job after Jama exit

Princess Andre has said she would be keen to host Love Island following Maya Jama's departure from the show.

Jama hosted the programme for the last few years but has stepped down after starting a new career in acting. Speculation about her replacement has included names such as Olivia Attwood and Maura Higgins.

Auditions are reported to be taking place this week as producers look to find a new host with only weeks to go before the next series begins.

Princess Andre's interest

Princess, the daughter of Katie Price and Peter Andre, is currently appearing with her brother Junior on the BBC show Celebrity Race Across The World, but she is hoping the Love Island role will be her next major job.

Speaking to The Sun, she said: "I would definitely host it, I would definitely do it! I am sad that Maya left as I was watching it for her but I would give it a go. I'd be up for it! People always want me to go on it as a contestant but, no, with hosting, I would do that!"

Her mother Katie Price has also appeared to put herself forward for the position, writing on Instagram: "I would love to present Love Island" and tagging the show's official account.

Maya Jama's exit and Netflix deal

Jama announced her exit over the weekend, hours after it was confirmed she had agreed a deal with Netflix.

In a statement on Instagram, she wrote: "What an incredible era and what an unforgettable time I've had, it's been far too much fun to put into words or a video..but as all good things must come to an end, it's my time to step down as the host of my beloved Love Island."

She thanked fans and the production team, adding: "I started hosting the show aged 28 and during the 9 incredible series met the most wonderful humans along the way. I've loved every slow-mo walk, fire pit and live show."

Of the Netflix deal, Jama said: "I'm absolutely buzzing to be working with Netflix! There are some really exciting things coming and I can't wait for everyone to see what we've been working on. I can't give too much away just yet, but I'm so excited for this next chapter. Watch this space!"
