Maya Jama clearly believes love is worth a second shot.
The presenter, 29, was separated from rapper boyfriend Stormzy, 30, four years before they reconciled in October.
And now she’s hoping former Love Island stars will follow by her example, signing up to date in front of the nation for a second time in the ultimate quest for romance.
Dressed in a sizzling couture gown that morphs into a red carpet, Maya stars in glamorous behind-the-scenes photographs taken on set of the new Love Island: All Stars advert, which airs for the first time on Saturday night.
She is the epitome of Hollywood glamour in a busty black dress as she pouts in a Marilyn Monroe mirror ahead of the launch of a brand-new Love Island series.

Smiling for the camera, the Love Island host struts on stage as sparkling spotlights light up a runway to the musical accompaniment of Frank Sinatra’s The Second Time Around.
The lyrics, ‘Love is lovelier the second time around, just as wonderful with both feet on the ground’, is a poignant message to the Islanders returning for the All Stars series.
In a cheeky reference to the show’s infamous loyalty test, Maya teases: ‘For the first time, we’re bringing back all star Islanders for a second chance at love, the question is who will be back for Amor?’
Love Island: All Stars launches on ITV2 in the New Year and will feature a cast of hopeful singletons who are still searching for romance following their first appearance on the series.
The lineup is yet to be announced although Love Island 2019 contestant Ovie Soko, Paige Thorne from the 2022 series, and Georgia Steel, who found fame on the 2018 season, are all reportedly taking part.
Stars of the show will live together at a villa in South Africa, escaping the cold winter months in their hope of finding long-lasting love.
And their experience as former Islanders will hopefully give their chance at finding a relationship a boost because they already know their turn ons, icks, and who they want to be whispering sweet nothings to in the Hideaway.
As with the past summer series, there will be bombshell arrivals, shock eliminations, and heartbreak as well as brand new love stories.

Maya returns as Love Island presenter after recently hosting the show’s first challenge series in Fiji, Love Island Games.
In recent months she has moved into a new property in an affluent area of London, co-hosted the Fashion Awards, and become the new face of the designer brand Dolce & Gabbana.
Fans were thrilled after she confirmed that her relationship with Stormzy was back on following their 2019 breakup.
The Brit Award winner was reportedly unfaithful to Maya, which led to their four-year separation.
In his song Lessons, Stormzy apologised to Maya, saying that the ‘disrespect’ he showed her during their relationship was his ‘biggest of regrets.’
Speaking about the track from his album Heavy Is the Head, Stormzy said: ‘I will say it 100 per cent loud and clear that’s a brilliant woman – we shared something very deep, and she loved me wholeheartedly. And man went out and disrespected.’
