Maya Jama cut a comfortable figure in a casual tracksuit as she arrived back in the United Kingdom alongside the Love Island stars on Wednesday, following a significant five-hour flight delay. The 31-year-old presenter appeared in good spirits despite the lengthy hold-up departing from Cape Town, South Africa, after the ITV2 reality show's final aired on Monday night.
Airport Fashion and Low-Key Arrival
Swapping her typically glamorous and risqué dresses for a more relaxed ensemble, Maya sported a grey zip-front hoodie layered over a simple white T-shirt and black tracksuit bottoms. The ITV star maintained a low profile by pulling up her hood and wearing a pair of sunglasses as she navigated through Heathrow Airport. She completed her airport look by styling her dark hair in two neat braids and wearing a pair of Nike trainers.
Flight Delay Due to Airport Incident
The delay was reportedly caused by a power cut at Cape Town International Airport following a fire, which forced passengers to wait for hours before takeoff. This disruption affected numerous travellers, including the Love Island contingent returning from the show's finale.
Love Island Couples Display Affection
On the same flight, Maya was accompanied by the Love Island All Stars contestants. Among them, Harrison Solomon and Belle Hassan put on a very loved-up display, linking arms as Harrison pushed a trolley stacked high with their suitcases. The pair couldn't keep their hands off each other, sharing kisses in the arrivals terminal at London Heathrow.
Belle opted for a casual blue tracksuit with white crop details and a black baseball cap, while Harrison, who finished in sixth place on the show alongside Belle, wore a black tracksuit and carried a Louis Vuitton backpack.
Other Contestants' Arrivals and Goodbyes
Elsewhere, contestants Helena Ford, Jessy Potts, and Jess Harding were spotted hugging one another as they went their separate ways after landing back home. AJ Bunker showcased her jaw-dropping figure in a grey catsuit with a plunging neckline, which she paired with white trainers and matching long socks. The star, who only lasted a few days back in the villa, looked sensational in the one-piece outfit.
Love Island All Stars Voting Results Revealed
This follows the revelation of the Love Island: All Stars voting results after Monday night's epic final. Ciaran Davies and Samie Elishi were crowned winners of the third season of the spin-off show on the evening of February 23, 2026.
The pair triumphed over other couples including Millie Court and Zac Woodworth, Leanne Amaning and Scott van-der-Sluis, Lucinda Strafford and Sean Stone, and Whitney and Yamen Sanders. Love Island subsequently shared the precise voting percentages on their Instagram page.
Detailed Voting Breakdown
- Ciaran and Samie received 35.22% of the vote.
- Millie and Zac garnered 23.38%.
- Leanne and Scott obtained 19.41%.
- Lucinda and Sean secured 12.77%.
- Whitney and Yamen ended with 9.23%.
While many fans celebrated the results, some expressed skepticism, suggesting producer interference in the voting process. Comments on social media included claims that the votes were "the producers' votes" and allegations of vote-fiddling. However, others rushed to support the winning couple, praising them as "genuine" and "humble."
Winners' Reactions and Journey
When asked why they believed the public voted for them, Ciaran stated, "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." Ciaran continued, "Yeah, the way we were with each other, that’s maybe why we got the votes for the win."
Breaking down in tears, Samie emotionally thanked viewers for their support, with the thrilled couple sharing a celebratory kiss. Samie and Ciaran coupled up soon after she entered the villa as a bombshell, and despite numerous late arrivals and twists, their romance proved to be the strongest of the series.
Controversies and Runner-Ups
The journey wasn't entirely smooth for the winners, as Ciaran was briefly coupled up with Lucinda after she entered the villa, leading to tensions and a significant row following the Snog, Marry, Pie challenge. Reflecting on this, Ciaran acknowledged, "Looking back at it, me and Samie have spoken about this and to see her that upset, I didn’t realise at the time how upset I made her."
Among the runners-up, Millie revealed that Zac hoped to spend a "month or two" with her in the UK, with plans to reunite in the US. Scott van-der-Sluis and Leanne Amaning placed third, despite previously being tipped as bookies' favourites to win.
Lucinda Strafford and Sean Stone finished in fourth place, amid controversy regarding the legitimacy of their romance, with accusations that Lucinda was in a relationship with clothing CEO Huayi Huang. Yamen Sanders and Whitney Adebayo were the first to be eliminated from the winners' running, finishing in fifth place.
Harrison Solomon Addresses Relationship Claims
Harrison Solomon also addressed claims from his ex-girlfriend Lauren Wood that they were "still together" when he entered the villa. The footballer hit back at these accusations during Monday's final, stating it was a "shame" she had spoken publicly about their failed relationship. Harrison confirmed they had "amicably" split at the end of October, denying any indication of a reunion.
Belle Hassan, who coupled up with Harrison in the villa, commented, "It's not nice she's upset, things could have been clearer... It's for you to sort in private but it's not really my business to get involved."
Series Background and Contestant Line-Up
Love Island: All Stars returned to screens on January 15, 2026, featuring previous stars seeking a second chance at love in the South African villa. The line-up included a diverse array of contestants from various series, each with their own motivations for returning, from finding a husband to redeeming past experiences.
As the stars settle back into life outside the villa, the aftermath of the series continues to unfold, with relationships tested and new beginnings on the horizon.
