FIRST LOOK: Maya Jama takes Love Island fans inside the All Stars South African villa as she wows in a leggy white minidress

Fans are gearing up for the launch of Love Island: All Stars with favourites such as Georgia Harrison to Chris Taylor and Georgia Steel entering the villa.

And Maya Jama was seen inside the South African mansion for the first time on Wednesday.

Posing by the pool, the host, 29, looked sensational in a white mini dress with spaghetti straps and a ruffled neckline.

Maya pushed her hair back from her face and opted for a subtle makeup look to complete her outfit.

In the background the newly-renovated £1.2million villa, nestled below a mountain range could be seen, with sun lounges and an outdoor seating area.

Maya has said she will host Love Island for as long as it remains on screens – calling it her favourite job ever.

The TV presenter became the face of the ITV2 dating show when former host Laura Whitmore left in 2022 after three series.

With the show set to air its first ever All Stars season this month, Maya is already looking ahead at what’s to come.

Speaking to The Sun, she said: ‘I’ll stay for as long as it’s going. It’s been fun actually. It’s been my favourite job ever.’

As well as being host, Maya also turned casting agent this year as she helped producers choose the line-up.

She recommended they ask Hannah Elizabeth from season one to return for another shot at love, a decision which has paid off as she agreed to take part again.

The series will feature Love Island alumni continuing their quest to find their dream partner.

However the spin-off Aftersun will not air, meaning Maya can stay out in South Africa for the show’s entirety rather than having to jet back to London.

She said of the shake-up: ‘I’m doing interviews as soon as they leave… with this new exit interview format, I feel like you’ll get the raw emotion. I’m really excited about that actually’.

Elsewhere, Maya promised she has some ‘good looks’ in store for when she enters the villa after wowing viewers with her previous racy ensembles.

She also excitedly looked ahead to the Love Island All Stars launch show on January 15.

She said: ‘My hair is getting lighter and lighter in the sun. I have the pool to myself, today is a day off before you ask. Love Island is starting soon though! Topping up my tan!’

Love Island: All Stars launches on Monday 15th January at 9pm on ITV1, ITV2, ITVX & STV
