Maya Jama sets pulses racing in plunging white dress as she poses outside the Love Island villa after All Stars return date is finally confirmed

Maya Jama ensured all eyes were on her as she arrived at the Love Island villa for filming the new series of All Stars.

The presenter, 31, looked incredible in newly released snaps where she slipped into a white sleeveless dress.

The garment featured a plunging neckline and a deep, open back with low cut sides.

Letting her locks fall loose down her shoulders, Maya added to her look with a pair of gold hoop earrings and a matching bracelet.   

The new series of Love Island: All Stars is set to launch on Thursday evening.

The show’s third season, which was delayed for four days due to dangerous wildfires in Cape Town, South Africa, will return in just over 24 hours.

With viewers having already missed days of drama, ITV will air a full episode on Saturday evening – a slot usually reserved for the week’s ‘Unseen Bits’.

ITV is expected to confirm the news via Instagram, teasing: ‘The wait is over… Love Island: All Stars launches tomorrow night (Thursday 15th January) at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX. 

‘Plus, for the first time ever, there’ll be an extra full episode on Saturday night (17th Jan) at 9pm, too.’

For the first time in its history, Love Island was delayed after wildfires in the area made it unsafe for the cast and crew to begin filming. 

Speaking on the official Love Island Instagram account on Wednesday, host Maya shared the update: ‘Hi everyone, I’ve got some very exciting news. 

‘I can officially announce exclusively that we are back up and running, yay! 

‘I’m in glam, heading to the villa, and filming starts in a minute. You can watch us on ITV2 tomorrow night at 9pm. Love Island: All Stars is back!’  

The show’s launch had been scheduled for Monday evening but was delayed after dangerous wildfires over the weekend made filming impossible.

The setback reportedly cost ITV more than £15,000 an hour, covering commitments to crew, staff, camera operators and psychologists, all of whom were on the ground in South Africa awaiting their duties.

Maya flew to Cape Town last week ahead of filming, while the 12 confirmed Islanders, including Millie Court and Tommy Bradley, were staying in high-end accommodations. 

A number of ‘bombshells’ who are yet to be revealed are also waiting on standby.

On Monday, the Daily Mail revealed that one of the surprise bombshells is former Islander Curtis Pritchard, who will make his fourth stint in the villa as part of the All Stars cast.

Curtis will now take on the role of the new Casey O’Gorman, who appeared on the show four times before winning last year’s All Stars alongside Gabby Allen.

One ex who certainly won’t be following him into the villa is Maura, who raised her profile on Sunday night by attending the Golden Globe Awards.

Rubbing shoulders with Hollywood A-listers at the ceremony due to her current appearance on The Traitors US, Maura has managed to distance herself from her first villa stint back in 2019. 

The Daily Mail exclusively revealed this year’s cast, with the starting line-up including former winners Millie and Jess Harding, runner-up Whitney Adebayo and Ronan Keating’s son Jack.
