Maya Jama lands back in South Africa ahead of next Love Island presenting gig ... trends now

She has jetted back to South Africa ahead of her next trip to the Love Island villa as she continues her presenting duties.

And Maya Jama flashed her abs as she stepped out after landing in Cape Town on Thursday.

The TV star, 28, had her taut midriff on display in a beige crop top which she teamed with a comfortable brown tracksuit after stepping off the plane.

She completed her look with dark shades and wore white trainers as she flashed a smile ahead of returning to see the Islanders.

Maya wore her long dark tresses in loose waves and opted to go makeup free to show off her pretty features.

The star also took to her Instagram Story to document her flight back to South Africa and as she larked around in her sunglasses and took snaps with the crew. 

She looked like she was having a great time as she snapped a selfie with the captain and one with the air hostesses. 

During Sunday night's episode of Aftersun, the former BBC Radio 1 DJ promised she would be heading back to the South Africa villa to stir up more drama.

Her first time fronting Aftersun recently proved to be a roaring success.

Initial ratings reported a peak of 1.82million tuning into the show - compared to the 1.51million watching Love Island.

The Bristol-native is currently winning in the TV world as Love Island bosses granted her 50 percent more airtime than previous host Laura. 

After just four episodes, Maya had already been featured in the hit TV show for 19 minutes and 55 seconds.  

In the same episode of the last series, Laura had only clocked up 13 minutes and 26 seconds.

Debates over the host's timeframes on set have been about since Caroline Flack, 40, first began presenting Love Island in 2015.

Laura's husband, Iain Stirling, 34, even made a joke during the Love Island series.

And during episode one, Iain could be heard on the voiceover cracking a joke by saying, 'She could’ve just sent a text, but we wanted to get our money’s worth out of that return flight to Cape Town.'  

And Maya doesn't plan to stop there because, according to The Sun, Maya has said she intends to visit the new South African villa as often as she possibly can.

However, she has also stated that she will be in London each Sunday to present Love Island's spin-off show Aftersun.

It follows reports Maya has filled Kate Moss' shoes as the face of Rimmel London.

She is said to have signed a multi-million pound deal to replace the 49-year-old supermodel, who has been the role for almost 20 years. 

While the move shows Maya, who is worth £2 million, is making big waves in the industry, but some insiders have said the decision may spark an ageist row.

A source told The Sun: 'Rimmel is one of the biggest brands in beauty with a very British core, so pinpointing Maya to be their figurehead shows she's very much the It Girl of the moment.

'They needed a big name to take over from Kate, who had already stepped back from the role.

'Rimmel believes Maya ticks that box — plus they hope she can also appeal to a younger and more diverse audience. A backlash is expected given Maya is nearly half Kate’s age, but the company are happy with their decision. It’s a dream come true for Maya.'

MailOnline contacted Rimmel and a Maya's representative for comment at the time.
