Maya Jama sparks feud with KSI and Sidemen as she makes offhand dig about their private school past
The Love Island host, 30, recently appeared on her pal Chunkz on his podcast The Chunkz Show, where she made a throwaway comment which went on to spiral into a tense back and forth between her and the YouTube stars.
During her time on the podcast last month, Maya was asked whether she preferred Beta Squad or Sidemen - both rival British collectives made up of YouTubers, influencers and internet personalities.
Maya went on to confirm that she prefers Beta Squad - of which her pal Chunkz, 29, is a member - over Sidemen which is made up of KSI, Josh Bradley, Simon Minter, Tobi Brown, Ethan Payne, Vikram Barn and Harry Lewis.
She told her pal: 'It's a very clear Beta Squad for me. I'm way closer with them lot. I get on with Tobi and I get on with KSI but I don't really know the rest of them And they're like…'
To which Chunkz, real name Amin Mohamed, interjected: 'Not your kind of people.'

Maya then added: 'Like you said, private school, different upbringing to us. No offence, they smashed it well done from being rich.'
Maya's comments about The Sidemen's 'private school' past and them being 'rich' didn't go down well with the group, who went to lash out at the star on their own podcast.
As KSI began the discussion, saying, 'Let's talk about the Maya Jama stuff then', his pal Ethan then jumped in with a rant against the Love Island beauty.
He fumed: '"Congrats on making it from being rich". Shut up! You've never uttered a word to me!'
He then launched into a story about his dad having to sell drugs and him having sold them too, telling Maya: 'Don't just assume!'
As KSI agreed that there's a lot of assumptions in the industry, Ethan continued: 'If I had her number I would have said, do you know what? Keep it respectful, but f*** you aswell.'
There podcast saw KSI confirm that it was only himself and Simon that went to private school, noting that his parents had to work 'two three jobs' to keep him there.
He then added: 'We still worked so hard to get into this position, it's not like we just magically got here.'

However, the awkwardness didn't stop there as Maya went on to respond to the comments and call out Ethan for his harsh words towards her.
Taking to the TikTok comments, she wrote: '"As people who talk on podcasts, you should know more than anyone about context! Why are you rattled.
'I was asked who I preferred and CLEARLY said I don't know you, I only mentioned private school because Chunks did earlier and I said 'congratulations on being rich' not coming from money'.
Taking aim at Ethan's swipe at her, she concluded: 'Mind how you're talking though Ethan.'

Inside Britain's ‘plane graveyard' filled with 1,400 jets that's used for Hollywood films, Doctor Who & SAS training
AN EERIE plane graveyard in the UK houses more than 1,400 jets that have been used in Hollywood films, Doctor Who and SAS training. The private airfield in Gloucestershire is where jumbo jets from around the world are ditched. 4 4 4 Mark Gregory's Air Salvage International (ASI) has been chopping, disassembling and recycling planes at the airfield, which sits just two miles from Kemble, for 30 years. In the early 90s, Mark bought his first plane with his redundancy money and spent six months breaking it down into sellable parts. More than 1,400 aircraft later his business is thriving, employing dozens of people to handle growing demand from an expanding aviation industry. Many plane owners send their ageing aircraft to Mark as a commercial jet's MOT costs a whopping £1 million. Mark can sometimes salvage as much as £12 million from them in reusable parts or recyclable materials. But the business doesn't stop there. ASI provides dramatic training scenarios for organisations such as the SAS to help them practice plane-related emergencies. In one mock situation, Mark and his team crushed a van with a plane fuselage as special forces dealt with hijackers and "injured" passengers on board. The jets have also starred on the big screen. An array of films have been shot at ASI including The Fast and the Furious 6, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, Mission Impossible and Batman. You may also recognise it from small-screen appearances such as The One Show, Casualty and Doctor Who. So the next time you spot a dramatic plane disaster or runway scene on the tele, you may spot the Gloucestershire countryside in the background. Many of the firms who send their jets to ASI know what they want back with demand lists that can stretch to 2,000 parts from a single plane. Other aircraft meet a different fate - one big chunk of fuselage was even used for The Swarm rollercoaster at Thorpe Park. And aviation buffs use pieces to decorate their homes. Through ASI's sister site, you can purchase a pilot's seat for £6,000 or small sections of fuselage with a window up for grabs for £150. Cash-stuffed wallets have been found in seat pockets too but most of these find their way back to the owners. On another occasion 15 years ago a large stash of cocaine was found behind some panelling in the rear toilets. "Needless to say, we informed the authorities, police and boarder and they removed," Mark explained. "After the investigation, it was found that the value was fairly high and it would look like the contraband was being smuggled into Europe by a person who must of hidden this rather than getting caught taking it through customs." Mark's team are also sometimes called to aviation crash sites. Their expertise in breaking aircraft down makes it useful when it comes to identifying remains and helping determine what went wrong. The team were part of the investigation into the Afriqiyah Airways crash in Tripoli, Libya, in 2010, which killed 104 people. But while flogging off bits of jumbo jet can sometimes fetch millions, Mark can't bear to part with certain flying machines that come his way. This includes a VIP-fitted Boeing 727 that was once part of Saddam Hussein's fleet after he instructed Iraqi Airways to steal all of Kuwait Airways' planes during its 1990 invasion of the country. It was kitted out with plush velour seats with extendable footrests and cutting-edge JVC TVs built into mahogany walls. Before the Iraqi forces took over the Kuwaiti fleet, the Kuwaiti family used the plane to jet-set around the globe. The Emir would even sit on a specially constructed throne, using radio equipment to issue commands to his staff from 30,000 feet.# Mark's plane graveyard isn't the only in the UK either. The Sun reported in May how an explorer had revealed the remnants of an abandoned ex-military plane field - including a rotting 1951 Hawker Hunter jet. Left behind were iconic British fighter jets that would've been used in wars dating back to as far as 1951. 4

Bargain Hunt expert leaves pensioner sobbing as photographs that tell heartbreaking story sell for more than 100 times their value
A Bargain Hunt expert left a guest sobbing when photographs that told a heartbreaking story sold for more than 100 times their value. Irita Marriott, who often appears on the BBC show, also hosts The Derbyshire Auction House on Discovery+. The programme sees Irita help members of the public find hidden treasures in their homes and make some cash in the auction house. One instalment saw Irita meet Helen and Ben, a mother and son who were trying to raise funds to pay for Helen's husband's dementia care. During the episode, Helen showed the expert a collection of photos which included signed, original copies from famous photographers. The images dated back to 1975 and featured pieces by Sirkka-Liisa Konttinen and Graham Smith. Helen's husband, Alan, came about the impressive photographs when working for a regional arts association. Since then, they had been hung in the hallway of their family home. The photos were sold separately and one was estimated to be worth between £80 and £120. However, Helen and Ben were left shocked and broke down in tears when it went for £12,000. Ben reportedly said: 'I was absolutely gobsmacked at the values people were willing to bid for what we thought were just nice pictures... that we saw on the wall every day. Absolutely brilliant.' Sadly, Helen's husband passed away before the episode aired and the money was used to cover the cost of his funeral instead. It comes after an Antiques Roadshow guest was brought to tears after learning the whopping value of a glass box she bought online for just £32. The treasured item left expert Joanna Hardy shocked after she inspected it during a repeat episode filmed at Edinburgh 's Scottish Gallery of Modern Art. The Scottish guest and the valuer were both shocked by the intricate and detailed box, with Joanna commenting: 'The skill of a goldsmith and the skill of an enameller is the same when they are making jewellery.' She then asked the guest for the story behind the intriguing piece and the woman explained she had stumbled up on it at an online auction in England and was so taken with the crystal that she snapped it up immediately. She went on to confess that she loved to browse online auctions, before noting that the box is no longer in perfect condition, but was still beautiful. She said: 'I think they described it as being glass, a glass box, and I knew it had something unusual about it, with the designs on it and things like that. 'I couldn't really see much of the silver, I had a sneaky feeling it might be that, so we actually polished it all to reveal the beautiful enamel on the surface and the lovely colours'. The guest then revealed she had originally bought the piece for just £32 and expert Joanna was left gobsmacked. Joanna then concluded that the impressive item had been made between 1860 and 1870 and was made by an expert enameller. She told the excited guest: 'So this is dating this from about 1860 to 1870, but there was one person that was really the head of this, he was the leading enamelist in Vienna at the time and he did the neo-renaissance work.' And it was then that the BBC expert revealed what the £32-crystal pot was really woth, revealing it could fetch up to £6,000. She said: 'If that was in the right auction I think you are going to be looking at between £4,000 and £6,000.'

Love Island ignites fakery row as its revealed new couple 'knew each other before show and even hooked up' - but have never mentioned it on camera
One of the Love Island couples knew each other before appearing on the ITV2 dating show - and even hooked up together, according to reports. Tuesday's episode of the ITV2 show saw a shock recoupling ceremony, which saw a number of the Islanders swap partners. Helena picked Harry, Meg coupled up with Dejon, Shakira decided to choose Conor, Yasmin picked Jamie and Billykiss went for Boris. Toni shocked everyone by choosing ex Harrison, which then meant that her ex Cach had to couple up with Emma and Harrison's girl Lauren ended up with Ty. And according to The Sun, Ty and Lauren already know each other after taking part in the unfilmed rehearsal week earlier this year - which then meant that they were invited back to take part in Casa Amor. A source told the publication: 'Ty and Lauren are acting like they've only just met but that's far from the case. 'They hooked up during the dry run, which is where a fake cast moves into the villa to test out everything from camera angles, to kitchen appliances and run-through challenges. 'And then they even saw each other on the outside before ITV invited them back to be part of Casa Amor. 'Now they're both in the main villa pretending like none of this ever happened but it's all entirely fake and ITV know about it. 'Viewers deserve to know it's all a huge sham.' The pair were both introduced into the series earlier this month after trying to turn some heads in the sister villa. Lauren grew close with Harrison, while Ty built a connection with Shakira - who has had her fair share of drama in the villa. Love Island fans have branded Harrison 'disgusting' after he crawled back to Toni after having sex with Lauren during Tuesday night's episode and admitted it wasn't the first time. As the couple's settled down to sleep, one pair had other ideas as they were seen getting frisky under the covers. And it wasn't long until they took things to the next level as Harrison was seen whispering across the beds as he asked Harry whether he had a condom. After Harry passed the wrapper to his friend, Lauren was seen climbing on top of Harrison before the camera panned away to show their islanders shocked faces. And the next day as Lauren chatted with Helena and Meg, she confessed it wasn't the first time the couple had slept together as she admitted they had gone all the way the other night too. Yet despite the intimacy, Harrison was quick to change his mind on who he had a greater connection with as he went crawling back to Toni after news of a shock recoupling. Shockingly Toni once again chose to give things another go with her former flame, despite insisting she was 'done' earlier in the episode Speaking to Harry he confessed: 'I want Toni' before he met with her on the terrace to beg her to give him another chance. And shockingly Toni once again chose to give things another go with her former flame, despite insisting she was 'done' earlier in the episode. Yet it seems Toni may not know the full story, with fans speculating she doesn't know he and Lauren appeared to have had sex. Taking to X, formerly Twitter, fans didn't hold back with their comments as they penned: 'Harrison is disgusting you're having sex with Lauren knowing you don't even like her and Lauren is just a whole mess both of you go home I'm sick of it'. 'And she still doesn't know he's sh****d Lauren twice this is so dirty someone intervene'; 'I beg Lauren stands up and mentions they sh****d twice Harrison ain't even told Toni yet loool'; 'this is embarrassing for Toni'; 'nah Toni, girl you've just lost the bag'; 'Harrison you CANNOT be crawling back to Toni now after having sex with Lauren and not being honest with her about it'; 'Harrison having sex with Lauren then running back to Toni ?! I know Lauren shouldn't have but this is all on Harrison'; Taking to X, formerly Twitter, fans didn't hold back with their comments as they penned: 'Harrison is disgusting you're having sex with Lauren knowing you don't even like her and Lauren is just a whole mess both of you go home I'm sick of it' 'had sex with lauren TWICE mind you, now he wants toni back'; 'Harrison wants Toni but he's having sex with Lauren. Toni and Harrison are such weirdos'; 'Harrison asking for a condom and proceeding to have sex in a room full of people ??? Disgusting'; 'How do they feel so comfortable having sex with people in the room?!'; 'Having sex with other people in the room is one thing, but on NATIONAL TV??'; 'Where is Toni sleeping? Cos if Harrison & Lauren are having sex in the same room, the respect is below hell'; 'harrison and lauren are CRAZY bc how are you having sex in a room full of people AND asking for a condom'. Harrison and Toni officially recoupled at the end of the episode, while Lauren was left in tears after she was forced to recouple with Ty. Toni and Harrison have had a rollercoaster journey since Harrison brought back the bombshell to the main villa after Casa Amor. And while Harrison appeared smitten in Casa Amor, he has attempted to reignite his triangle in the competition by flirting with Toni in a scandalous move on the terrace earlier this week as the pair continued to flirt with each other. However on Monday, despite being in tears over Harrison's sneaky antics in the villa, Lauren appeared to forgive and forget when they retired to bed as the cameras showed the two getting very close under the covers. In a nighttime clip aired by the producers, the sheets could be seen moving over the top of the two islanders - suggesting they were taking their connection to the next level. The next day, Harrison seemed to have confirmed their antics as he confessed to Harry that 'the whistle was blown' and he 'scored a three pointer' - a football reference which fans took to mean they got intimate throughout the night.
