Love Island presenter Maya Jama left viewers utterly bewildered during Friday night's episode, as she made a dramatic entrance into the villa wearing a daring 'naked' dress. The 31-year-old host strutted in a racy black little black dress featuring nude detailing around the bottom area, creating an optical illusion that had fans doing a double take.
Social Media Erupts with Confusion
Viewers immediately flooded social media platform X to express their initial shock and confusion. One user wrote, 'For a minute, I thought Maya left her **s out for everyone to see,' while another commented, 'I thought Maya's batty was out at first glance #loveisland.' A third viewer added, 'Mayas dress..... thought her bum was hanging out #LoveIslandAllStars,' capturing the widespread reaction to the presenter's bold fashion choice.
Busy Schedule in South Africa
Maya has been hosting the current series of Love Island, which has been filming in South Africa over recent weeks. She regularly enters the villa to deliver bombshell news and interview dumped Islanders upon their exit from the popular reality show. During her downtime from filming, the television presenter has been making the most of her time in South Africa, soaking up the sun during her breaks.
Earlier this week, Maya shared an insight into her relaxing afternoon, posting a bikini-clad clip of herself enjoying the sunshine in brown swimwear. The video showed off her sizzling figure as she went makeup-free, showcasing her natural beauty while listening to music through wired headphones and sporting sunglasses atop her dark locks, while also tucking into a platter of fresh berries.
Devastating Home Burglary
Meanwhile, Maya and her footballer boyfriend Ruben Dias have been left 'devastated' after thieves ransacked their £4 million home in Cheshire. The targeted attack occurred last month while Manchester City player Ruben, 28, was playing away against Galatasaray and Maya was in South Africa filming Love Island.
The burglars made off with thousands of pounds worth of valuable items, including designer clothes, jewellery, and electronics, according to reports. The couple had only recently moved into the Omaze prize-draw mansion in Alderley Edge, which is said to cost £20,000 per month to rent.
Police Investigation Underway
Ruben reportedly raised the alarm after returning home from the away game and discovering the house had been turned upside down with valuable items missing. A spokesperson for Cheshire Police confirmed, 'Shortly after 11.10pm on Wednesday 28 January, police received reports of a burglary at an address in Woodbrook Road, Alderley Edge.'
The police statement continued, 'Officers attended and found entry had been made to the property and a number of items had been stolen. Enquiries are currently ongoing and anyone with any information should contact Cheshire Police on 101 or through the website.'
Emotional Impact on the Couple
A source close to the couple revealed, 'They are devastated, the house is the first they have moved into as a couple and is very special to them. Thankfully, neither was at home, but they are very upset that their personal space has been invaded.'
The source added to The Sun, 'Maya was very proud to move into her first home with Ruben and took lots of videos and pictures while in the house which she posted on her social media. Previously in their relationship, she was back and forth from London and he was living in a city centre flat. That's why this property means so much to them.'
Property Details and Relationship Background
The stunning 6,300 square foot four-bedroom home boasts panoramic views, landscaped gardens, a luxury indoor leisure suite, and a sophisticated security system. The mansion was originally won by mother Emily Ward with a £25 ticket in an Omaze prize draw, and she remains listed as the property owner.
The couple are believed to have met after the television presenter caught the Portuguese footballer's eye when they encountered each other at the European Music Awards (EMAs) in November 2024. Their romance was finally confirmed at a Baller League event last April, marking the beginning of their high-profile relationship.
The Daily Mail has contacted Maya and Ruben's representatives for comment regarding both the dress reaction and the burglary incident, as the couple navigates this challenging period while Maya continues her hosting duties on the popular reality television show.
