Maya Jama 'is planning to follow in Molly-Mae Hague's footsteps as she plots a major new career move'
The TV presenter, 30, is said to be eyeing up a major career shift that would see her dive into the influencer world and cash in on her huge online following.

She didn't hold back either, calling out the silent onlookers who scroll without engaging, joking she might need to 'start a YouTube so I can convert the watchers to money at least'.
Daily Mail have contacted Maya's representatives for comment.
Maya and Ruben, 30, have been dating for several months and have enjoyed numerous romantic holidays together.
It is now thought the pair are taking the next step in their relationship as things are getting serious between the couple.
It has been claimed that Maya is eyeing up splitting her time between London and Manchester to spend more time with Ruben.
Ruben's commitment to Maya early on in their romance reportedly secured things for the couple and they are even said to be looking at moving in together.
A source told The Sun: 'Ruben made sure from the start that his intentions with Maya were clear, he knows he's struck gold and wants to make sure Maya knows how seriously he feels about her.
'Being honest and open about what he wants from their future was the secret weapon in securing a future with Maya.
'Maya's work, home and friends are in London so she doesn't want to leave there entirely, but is considering going between there and Manchester.'
The news comes after the TV presenter shared her impressive figures on her Instagram, calling out the silent watchers who look at what she's posting, but don't engage
Maya is currently busy splitting her time between Mallorca and London as she hosts live from the Love Island villa and presents spin-off chat show Aftersun.
Amid her busy Love Island filming schedule, Maya and Ruben have still found to enjoy some sun-soaked trips and recently jetted off to Ibiza together.
Maya shared an array of loved-up snaps of the pair of them as she documented their budding romance after going Instagram official in May.
Every inch the supportive girlfriend, the TV host has been seen at multiple football games over the last few months to watch Ruben live in action for Man City.
Footage of the pair last month showed them with their arms around each other before he leant into her neck for a peck.
Ruben tried to fly under the radar and keep a low profile as he stepped out in casual clothes and a cap.
A source told The Sun: 'Maya and Ruben seemed very close, very loved up and were clearly very comfortable with each other.
'They were chatting to others around them but gravitated back to each other. They seem very happy with each other.'
It was the first time they were seen in public since they were thought to have started dating - though Maya had hinted at the romance by sharing snaps of flowers she was sent.
They were first linked in November of last year, four months after Maya and Stormzy had announced their split.

Princess Andre says she 'wishes she had a happier childhood' and opens up about 'dark times' after Katie Price and Pete's divorce for the first time ever in unflinching new ITV reality show
Princess Andre has revealed she 'wished she had a happier childhood' as she opened up about the 'dark times' she faced after Katie Price 's split from Peter Andre. The rising star, 18, has landed her very own ITV2 reality show as Princess becomes a celebrity in her own right. Cameras have followed her around as she makes waves in the highly lucrative influencer world, having already signed big-money deals with brands such as Morphe and Superdrug. In her new fly-on-the-wall series, titled The Princess Diaries, the teenager addresses the traumatic memories from her glamour model mum's divorce from Mysterious Girl singer Pete and her other breakups. She candidly admitted: 'I did have a counsellor, I do still see her every now and then. 'But I don't feel like I can really talk, so I just write everything down in my notes. The rising star, 18, has landed her very own ITV2 reality show as Princess becomes a celebrity in her own right - though mum Katie will not make an appearance 'I do wish, like, I could have had a more happier childhood. In the sense of like, I had so many things on my plate at a young age.' Princess said she wishes sometimes that she 'wasn't like that' and not had things lingering at the back of her mind at such a young age. While acknowledging the 'good times' in her childhood, she opened up about Katie's bitter split from ex Kieran Hayler when she was just 10 years old. Katie was married to Kieran for eight years but their relationship was tainted by accusations of infidelity. They wed in 2013, before renewing their vows three years later in Barbados during a 'make or break' holiday and divorced in 2021. Princess explained how 'everything kind of went downhill' as she and her siblings got 'really close to him and loved him'. She said: 'My mum, obviously being heartbroken, didn't deal with that in the best way, she went through a very, very dark time, which is understandable. 'Which is hard for me because I was around adulty things that kids should never see and I think as well, when we needed our mum there, she wasn't emotionally able to be there because she had so much of her own problems going on.' In her new fly-on-the-wall series, titled The Princess Diaries, the teenager addresses the traumatic memories from her glamour model mum's divorce from Mysterious Girl singer Pete and her other breakups Fans will see Princess admit she would regularly arrive home from school and 'get into bed and cry'. While Princess is close with her dad, she admitted she would never speak to him about her troubles as she has 'always grown up knowing 'my mum and dad don't like each other'. She concluded: 'I wouldn't say I'm fully, fully recovered from it but mum is such a different person and if you put her now to back then, she's genuinely really fixed herself.' Daily Mail previously revealed how Katie, 47, will not feature in the new series, though Pete, 52, and Princess' older brother Junior, 20, are set to make appearances. 'Katie will not be in Princess's show, the decision has been made and it's final. 'Princess loves her mum, and they have a great relationship, but the show is all about her work and home life. 'Television bosses were adamant that nothing was to be 'staged' to include Katie as it would not be a real and truthful insight into her life.' As well as older brother Junior, Princess has six other siblings - Theo, Amelia and Arabella from Pete's marriage to Emily MacDonagh, and Harvey, Jett and Bunny from her mum Katie's side.

But fans were left concerned after spotting third place star Yas crying behind Maya Jama in one of the shots as Harry and Shakira were interviewed. Taking to X, one person wrote: 'Awww Yas crying. She really does like him so much cos who would thought our fave robot could cry!' A second person added: 'yasmin crying in the background my shayla.' And a third penned: 'why is Yasmin crying in the background omg?' The tears came right after Yas and Jamie's interview with Maya, as they landed in an impressive third place. They were beaten by Shakira and Harry in second place and eventual winners, Toni and Cach. However, one former Islander appeared to totally dismiss Yasmin and Jamie as they could be seen chatting away throughout the couple's interview with host Maya Jama. Helena appeared distracted as she 'ignored' what Yasmin had to say and instead caught up with fourth place star Angel in full view of the cameras. Love Island star caught snubbing finalist and 'ignoring' her during live final - but did you spot it Each time the shot focused on Maya, Helena could be seen speaking to her co-star as she failed to listen in to what Yasmin had to say. Noticing their antics online, one fan questioned: "What is Helena and Angel talking about." Before someone else echoed: "All I could see behind Maya was angel and Helena chatting away the whole time during yaz and Jamie's interview." It added further fuel to the fire about the long-standing girls divide this year. Helena had failed to see eye-to-eye with Yasmin, Shakira or Toni during her time in the villa as two rival girl groups quickly emerged. Along with Meg and Megan, Helena had clashes with the other three villa girls throughout but it seemed they had the last laugh when they made up the top three spots.
