has celebrated Mother's Day by sharing a slew of snaps with her 'twin' mum Sadie, as she gushed over all that she had inherited from her.
The Love Island host, 31, has stunned fans in the past by sharing snaps with her mum, 51, on social media, revealing her youthful beauty and remarkable resemblance to her daughter.
Taking to her Instagram Stories on Sunday, Maya shared a snap from last year's Mother's Day, showing her looking the spitting image of her mother, with both sporting matching clip-in fringes and holding hands.
The duo marked the last holiday by starring together for a joint campaign for her Beauty Works hair extensions range, with Sadie displayed her age-defying looks in a white strapless gown, sporting a radiant and smooth complexion.
Maya captioned the snap: 'Happy Mother's Day twin', before following it up with a markedly less glamorous shot of the two woman pulling funny faces at the camera.
The presenter declared that she had learned her sense of humour from Sadie, saying: 'My unseriousness comes from you and grandad lol'.

And she also shared an adorable childhood snap, showing Sadie holding a baby Maya while attending Glastonbury, as she joked: 'Made me a Festival and music lover from early'.
Maya has opened up about her very close relationship with her mother in the past, who fell pregnant with her when she was just 18 years old.
Sadie named Maya after the legendary poet Maya Angelou, because she read her famous autobiography, I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings, during her pregnancy.
Due to their smaller than usual age gap, the TV personality has revealed that their relationship is 'a bit different', with Sadie giving her a lot of freedom growing up.
She previously told the Evening Standard: 'She had me at 18, so our relationship was a bit different. I rebelled less because I was quite free.
'My mum's always been like, 'I want you to have your experiences — just tell me. I'm not going to judge you or shout at you'.'
She also admitted that her mother has a wild side, saying: 'She's banned from my parties though. She gets too drunk.'
Maya has also been open in the past about her dad Hussein spending time in and out of jail from she was just two years old and her younger brother Omar was a baby.
She previously told how growing up without her father present was not something she 'sat at home and cried about' in an interview with Marie Claire.

Her dad spent much of her childhood in and out of prison for various sentences, but Maya told how she used humour to cope with difficult periods of her life.
'Anything that seems tragic or could make people feel sorry for me, I make a joke out of,' she said. 'I guess it's because I'm OK with it. I've accepted it and I don't want you making me feel like you're sorry for me.
'If people said, 'Where's your dad?' I'd say, 'Oh, he's in jail' and I'd laugh about it. It wasn't something I sat at home and cried about.'
Maya added that she has a close bond with her stepfather and is grateful she got to see a 'loving relationship' play out between him and Sadie.
She said: 'When I was 10, my mum met my stepfather and he is the loveliest man. So I got to see a loving relationship, which I think is what can affect young women growing up without a dad – not experiencing love first-hand and seeing how a healthy relationship should be.
'Dad wasn't around, but I had all the love I needed from elsewhere.'
