Maya Jama appears on The Jonathan Ross Show just days before the Love Island ... trends now

Maya Jama spills the beans on hosting Love Island and who is her favourite couple to win this year's winter series next week. 

The presenter, 28, appears on The Jonathan Ross show, set to air on Saturday, just days before the final, set to air on Monday. 

And Maya reveals if she will continue to take the helm of the ITV2 show: 'I'm going to be doing the summer one. It starts in… summer.'

When quizzed who she wants to win, the TV star tells the host: 'I'm not allowed to have favourites. 

 'I really like Shaq just because he’s a hopeless romantic and he’s very cute and so in love. But then I also like Tom and Samie, they’re really fun and Tom’s gone on a journey.  

Of taking the role over from Laura Whitmore, Maya says: 'I was so nervous. Obviously it's a very big show, everyone watches it, everyone’s got an opinion.  

'Quite a lot of people online were like, "We want Maya to host". So it felt a bit like, I don’t want to let anyone down.

'I don’t want it to be like, "You guys wanted me to do it and now I’m s**t". So I felt that pressure, and to get the slow-motion walk right…'

Maya looked effortlessly elegant in a plunging black halterneck waistcoat embellished with gold buttons. 

She teamed her gorgeous ensemble with a black panelled skirt and gave herself a few extra inches with a pair of strapped black stilettos

The radio DJ accessorised her look with a pair of chunky gold earrings and styled her glossy brunette locks loosely in glamorous waves.

She accentuated her natural beauty with lashings of mascara, her signature slick of eyeliner and a touch of brown lipstick.

Maya appears on the show, which is set to air on Saturday evening, alongside Niall Horan, Prue Leith and Tom Davis as they caught up with host Jonathan, 62.

Talking about her famous sexy strut on the show, she explains: 'You do a normal strut about three or four times. You have to sexy it up a little bit.

'Me and my friends the night before I went had a big girls' night and they were like "OK, show us how you’re going to walk." 

'As soon as I got there and the camera crew was there, I was like, "I can’t do it", but you do it four or five times and they choose the best.'

The group were seen having a jovial time as they hilariously held up paddles during a cheeky game of Never Have I Ever, with Niall looking surprised at Maya and Prue, 83.

One Direction star Niall, 29, cut a dapper figure in a grey suit and a cream striped shirt, which he styled with a pair of smart patent shoes.

He styled his brunette locks in a natural curled style and sported well-groomed facial hair as he lounged on the yellow sofa before taking to the mic to perform. 

Meanwhile, The Great British Bake Off judge Prue cut a chic figure in a vibrant blue and pink patterned shirt and black trousers.

She completed her look with her signature pink frames and accessorised with a chunky fuchsia pendant necklace.

King Gary star Tom, 43, also looked stylish in a pair of printed trousers and a black shirt as he joined the fellow stars on the chat show. 

Maya's appearance on the chat show comes just days before she is set to return to South Africa to host the hotly-anticipated Love Island final.

After eight weeks of dramatic recouplings, explosive rows and brutal dumpings, the winter series is finally set to draw to a close on Monday night.

Maya will be hitting screens live from the villa in Cape Town for the final, with the islanders also live for the first time since entering the reality show. 

She has not yet set set off for the southernmost tip of the African continent, but is expected to jet out over the weekend, to give herself and producers time to prepare for the final.

The grand final will take place on Monday 13 March, airing live from South Africa on ITV2 and ITVX at 9pm. Extended from the show's usual hour-long run, the episode will finish up at 10:35pm.
