LOVE Island host Maya Jama stunned in a stylish black dress in a first look at tonight’s launch show.
The 29-year-old TV favourite showed off her slender legs in the daring frock which is slashed to the hip.

The in-demand star looked delighted to be back inside the Majorcan villa as she greeted the new singletons with a big smile.
Maya wore her hair deadly straight and finished her outfit with teetering stilettos.
It didn’t take long for her to drop a big twist on the likes of Patsy Field, 29, Jess White, 25, and Sean Stone, 24, by the fire pit.
She says: “It’s good to see you’re all settled in but as you know, you’re on Love Island. You must always expect the unexpected.”
The Mail revealed Maya splits the group into boys and girls before asking them to rank themselves in the order “you think has come across the most like boyfriend and girlfriend material” to “who has given the least relationship vibes”.
This then determined who was partnered with who, much to the Islanders’ surprise.
Maya gleefully says: “Well that was very interesting.
“I bet you’re wondering how we’re going to couple you up. Well, you’ve done it yourselves.”
They then discovered that one pair is at risk of leaving the show.
Show boss Mike Spencer said: “We have changed the day one format too and there will be something very new, it’s not a public vote… but there will be a new way to couple up our Islanders.
“I hope it will shock the Islanders… I don’t want to say too much but there will be an element of a new game play that will lead to their couples without them knowing it.”
Spencer is also hoping the new recruits will go all the way — just like couples did in the villa’s early days.
The show’s 11th series will have extra beds as well as more opportunities to sneak off for sex — and the executive producer reckons he will be performing a public service if there are more steamy romps than there have been in recent years.
He told us: “Love Island should demonstrate what a relationship is like and what dating is like.
“We’ve got an audience of young people so I think it is an education.
“It’s seriously important for people to watch the show and know people aren’t perfect — none of us are.”
The relatively chaste scenes in the past few series of the ITV ratings winner are in stark contrast to horny couples going at it non-stop when the dating show was just starting out.
