Maya Jama steals the spotlight in metallic boiler suit in sizzling Love Island trailer, hinting at fiery new season

Love Island is gearing viewers up for the most dramatic summer yet as they teased a sneak peek of the full trailer for the eleventh series of the reality show. 

Host Maya Jama confirmed her return to the dating phenomenon as she appeared in the trailer looking sensational in a silver metallic boiler suit and platform black boots.

Concealing her face with a large visor, the TV presenter, 29, stars in the dramatic clip as she ignites a large flame thrower before setting fire to a large heart.

Meanwhile Donna Summer’s Hot Stuff plays out with an air guitar twist followed by Love Island’s inimitable theme tune reversioned in a rock style.

Removing her helmet, the stunner announces: ‘Where there’s love there’s fire’ before she takes a sip from her own personalised Love Island water bottle. 

Maya confirmed the series, which recently amassed over three hundred million streams on ITVX, will be back on ITV soon, with Monday June 3 rumoured to be the unofficial start date as a new batch of singletons enter the villa on the hunt for true love. 

Ahead of its eagerly anticipated return to Mallorca, ITV viewers will see the full promotional trailer for Love Island’s eleventh series during Saturday evening’s broadcast of Britain’s Got Talent.

Love Island’s recent All Star series remains the biggest digital programme of the year to date as well as attracting the largest 16-34 commercial audience so far (1.4M), the show’s launch episode also attracted over 3.4 million viewers.

ITV released the first sneak peek of the new series earlier this week, however they didn’t reveal that the illusive masked figure was in fact Maya.    

While the series was the biggest digital programme of the year to date, it failed to pull in the viewing figures of its glory days. 

After a dramatic series Molly Smith and Tom Clare were crowned the winners of the first ever Love Island All Stars in February.

The ITV reality show received the lowest ever ratings for a Love Island final, with only one million viewers tuning in live for the grand finale making it the least watched final since series one in 2015.

Including viewing figures from streaming platform ITVX, 1.3 million fans watched the final, in line with last year’s final of the winter series.

According to Super TV the ITV2 ratings made up just an 8.4 per cent share of viewing figures while Overnight TV statistics showed they made up a share of just 7.6 per cent.

Of this figure 0.4 million of viewers were aged between 16-34 year-old, an increase on last year’s Winter final. 

Back in 2018, 3.6 million tuned in as Dani Dyer and Jack Fincham bagged the £50,000 followed by Amber Gill and Greg O’Shea who secured the highest rating ever for a final with 3.7 million. 

Viewing figures for the final have taken a dip in a recent years as they declined to around one million after Davide Sanclimenti & Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu’s dramatic series conclusion which was viewed by three million. 

Commenting on the declining figure, one fan wrote: ‘I’m hoping they don’t do a January series next year and they rest it. Just focus on the summer and give people a break.’

The reigning champions of the normal series are Jess Harding and Sammy Root, who won season 10 in July 2023.

However, it wasn’t a match made in heaven as the lovebirds split just two months after scooping the £50,000 prize, MailOnline exclusively revealed.

A source close to the pair told MailOnline that they mutually decided they’re ‘better off as friends’ after struggling to make their romance work outside of the show. 

Their win came as a shock as fans had not predicted they would beat favourites Whitney Adebayo and Lochan Nowacki to the title. Whitney and Lochan are still together. 

Earlier this week, their successors and season nine winners Kai Fagan and Sanam Harrinanan proved they are stronger than ever as they announced their engagement. 

The couple, both 25, won the second, and ultimately last, winter series of Love Island in March 2023 and were the show’s first winning couple of colour.

Love Island returns to ITV2 and ITVX in June
