Maya Jama is ready to up her fashion game for new Love Island series trends now

Maya Jama is ready to turn up the heat and serve some sensational looks when the show returns next Monday.

The television presenter, 28, is making a comeback for the summer season, which will be her second series of the ITV2 dating programme.

Ahead of the show launch, the full line-up - including a Coronation Street star's daughter, top model, deaf footballer and lip filler expert - was revealed, and host Maya can't wait to see them set foot in the villa in Majorca.

Speaking ahead of the show launch, the star has admitted 'the pressure is on for my stylist' as she plans on upping her fashion game.

She said of the new series: 'It feels so exciting, I was full of nerves for my first series because I was wondering what it would be like. Now, I know I feel really ready and excited, I just can't wait to get started!

'Now there’s a bit more of an expectation, I just want to make sure that I live up to that expectation again…. The pressure is on for my stylist because the dresses did very well last series!'

On what viewers can expect to see her wear this series, she added: 'We haven’t decided yet, but I’ve said that I want to look beachy, sexy and fun. I’d say "Ibiza summer" is the vibe I’m going for.'

And she is hoping to make a big entrance for what will be series 10, having suggested her favourite slow-mo song to walk in to: 'It would depend on the atmosphere of what I was walking in for, I really like the song Maria Maria by Santana, I feel like that could be good.'

Love Island is set to return on June 5 and with a week to go, it has been revealed that beautician Ruchee Gurung, 24, from Sutton, semi-pro footballer Tyrique Hyde, 24, from Essex, and actress Molly Marsh, 24, from Yorkshire are joining the villa.

Following on from the trio are George Fensom, 24, a Business Development Executive from Bedford and 'fun, flirty and chatty' Catherine Agbaje, 22, a Commercial Real Estate Agent haling from Dublin.

Upping the hunk factor on the show is French model Mehdi Edno, 26, who producers are said to be will be the next Davide Sanclimenti, while Glaswegian model Ella Thomas 23, is also set to bring her award-winning looks to the villa.

The next contenders for love include gas engineer Michel Taylor, 26, from Sheffield, London-native Jess Harding, 22, who is an Aesthetics Practitioner and economics graduate and clothing brand entrepreneur Andre Furtado, 21, from Dudley.

And Maya has revealed what she thinks makes a great Islander, explaining: 'I think being super confident and not afraid of going after what you want is a great way to be, you have to really want to find someone, but not be afraid of stepping on people's toes in order to get them.'

Meanwhile, Maya is looking forward to returning to spin-off show Aftersun to present alongside former show star Indiyah Polack and ex Made In Chelsea regular Sam Thompson.

She said: 'Us as a little trio have formed a really nice bond and friendship, which is only going to get stronger. We know each other well and everything we did last series went well, so I’m excited to add even more to it. More opinions, more fun, more vibes!' 

The list of confirmed Islanders set to join the show, with the group all changing their social media bios to read: 'I’m off to find love in the @loveisland villa!'

Like former contestant Tasha Amber Ghouri, Tyrique is deaf, with the sportsman lacking hearing in one ear - something he has honoured with a tattoo. 

Diversity on the show has frequently been called in to question, so the inclusion of disabled contestants and people of colour was lauded when the announcements were made, with fans delighting in Asian representation from Ruchee.

Already shaping up to be every inch the Islander, Ruchee regularly shares sizzling snaps on Instagram, on which her name is listed as Wawo'.

Speaking about the show, she said: 'I’m single and looking for love, and it’s the perfect opportunity for me to find someone... I’m a relationship kind of girl, but so far it’s not worked out. So I’m looking forward to finding the right person in the Villa.'

When asked about how she would 'pitch herself' to get somebody to date her, Ruchee said: 'I’m really caring, when I’m with someone I’m all about them...  

'I’m also really loyal and love doing nice things for the people that are special to me. My love language is gift giving, so I’m a real giver when it comes to relationships.'

When the announcement was shared on the official Love Island Instagram page, a host of fans delighted in the fact there would be Asian representation on the show, which has been widely criticised for lack of diversity in the past. 

Delighted fans penned: 'QUEENIE, finally some asian representation... FINALLY ASIAN REPRESENTATION... Omg she’s beautiful, we got some Asian representation hereeee... Asian representation on the show'.

Regarding what gives her 'the ick', she confessed overly tight skinny jeans and lack of ambition sit at the top of the list: 'Guys with no ambition...

'I also get the ick if I see a guy wearing white jeans and red trainers. Another one is super skinny jeans when they look like leggings. Fashion is such an important thing for me. If I go on a date and the guy isn’t wearing something I like, I’m going home.'

Tyrique is also a prolific social media user and is even followed by former star of the show Danica Taylor and TOWIE star Chloe Brockett. 

Asked what he would tell his co-stars, he said: 'That I’m deaf in my right ear. I’ve got a tattoo next to my left one that symbolises strength and power in my good one.' 

On what he'll bring to the show, the sportsman delightedly stated: 'I’ll bring vibes, confidence, good energy and honesty. I don’t sit on the fence, if I have an opinion I will speak up. I’m also not afraid to go after what I want.'

Molly's entrance on to the show was first reported earlier this month. The stunner already boasts a whopping 26k followers on Instagram and her mum Janet has enjoyed roles in a string of British soaps including Corrie.

Janet has graced the famous cobbles many a time, in three roles all within the medical profession.

She's thought to have caught the producers' eyes after taking a tour of the winter villa in January. Her grid on the photo sharing platform is littered with snaps from her trip to the South African mansion, including in the beach hut and fire pit.

Molly said of her claims to fame: 'With my job being in social media, I’ve had some amazing opportunities to go on press trips and I’ve actually been out to the Love Island Villas in Mallorca and South Africa...

George meanwhile said of the three most important things he looks for in a partner: 'I want them to be passionate about something, whether it’s a job or enjoying trips to the zoo on Saturdays...

'I prefer a girl who is naturally good looking, and someone who has even more banter than me- although I don’t believe that’s physically possible. I think those three qualities make for a perfect mix in a partner.'

When asked how his family would describe him, he went on: 'I’m the first person to bring the vibe up, I’m always dancing, I’m always the one who wants to go out. My go-to dance move is what I call the Dad Dance, I’m gonna bring dad jokes and dad dancing to the Villa.'

George said of his dream celebrity Islanders: 'I’m going to go with a little sweetheart called Megan Fox, if you’ve seen Transformers...

'The second would be Anne Hegerty from The Chase, I wouldn’t crack on with her but I’d have a laugh with her. I’d also like Nigella Lawson to cook something sexy.
