Maya emotional on Love Island

Maya was left in tears earlier this month during Love Island’s dramatic Casa Amor re-coupling, which saw several Islanders left brokenhearted.

The presenter was visibly emotional as the couples are made to decide whether they want to stay with their previous partner or pair up with a new contestant. 

Maya, who wowed in a red plunging latex dress, was seen wiping away tears as she hosted the dramatic recoupling.

Ahead of the episode a TV source told MailOnline: ‘Maya feels connected to the Islanders… she struggled to hide her emotion during filming of the Casa Amor re-coupling.

‘It was tough for her to see the reaction from some of the girls, who were shocked to discover the level of betrayal demonstrated by their partner.

‘Some of the couples had been together for a significant number of weeks so it was particularly painful for those to reunite under different circumstances.

‘It was one of the most dramatic Love Island episodes ever filmed, so much so, bosses had to extend the show.’

Maya in Mallorca alone

Maya is currently enjoying a solo trip in Mallorca following hosting Love Island on Tuesday night. 

The presenter took to Instagram after sharing her split statement with Stormzy to upload a video of herself partying in a stylish pink dress on a boat. 

She seemed in good spirits as she donned a pair of black sunglasses and said, ‘we’re out at sea b****’. 

In their break-up statement, the former couple penned: ‘We’ve been laughing whilst drafting this because we never, ever, in a million years thought we’d be the couple announcing a breakup, but for the sake of clarity and, more importantly, to allow us the space and grace that’s needed for us both to be able to navigate this next bit of our lives with peace, we thought it might be best to. 

‘We fell madly in love in 2014, broke up in 2019, and then spent five years manoeuvring life apart.

‘We decided to try for the final time in August 2023, and we’ve spent this past year trying our best to make it work; however, we recently decided to call it quits.

‘We were 21 and 20 when we first met- both at the beginning of our careers – and spent five years growing together and then five years growing separately, so this final attempt required a whole lot of figuring out, relearning and unlearning.

‘We tried and it didn’t work and that’s okay.

‘We still think the absolute world of each other, we still care and respect each other, we are still grateful for the time we’ve had together, and we are still friends and will always be friends (so if you see us having a lil catch-up at The Brits or something, don’t cause a fuss, we are dawgs!)

‘We’re kindly asking for the grace to let both of us keep it moving and not be bothered about it (we highly doubt this’ll work, but we’re still kindly asking anyway).’

‘Love you guys and thank you for all the love you’ve showered us with, it’s been beautiful,’ they ended the post, before signing ‘Mike and MJ’.
