Maya Jama has said she is treating her time in South Africa as a fun girls’ trip as she prepares to host the first ever series of Love Island: All Stars.
The host, 29, jetted off to South Africa over the weekend with her glam squad and will stay out there for the entire series as she won’t have to return to London for Aftersun.
Maya revealed she has already planned a boozy trip to a vineyard and will be a ‘lady of leisure’ during the times she isn’t filming the show.
‘There’s so much nice stuff to do in South Africa, and I’ve got my team that I work with all the time. They’re staying with me,’ Maya told The Sun.
‘It’s not going to be all night parties – I’m being sensible but I’m definitely not on a booze ban – not with all these lovely vineyards, I want to be able to enjoy a nice wine.’

Elsewhere, Maya promised she has some ‘good looks’ in store for when she enters the villa after wowing viewers with her previous racy ensembles.
