Maya Jama puts on a very busty display in figure-hugging zebra print dress as she shows off her incredible curves on Love Island: Aftersun
Love Island's Maya Jama put on a very busty display as she hosted Sunday's edition of the spin-off Aftersun.
The brunette bombshell, 30, turned heads in a figure-hugging dress as she presented the live show following the dramatic episode - which saw couples take part in the Snog, Marry, Pie challenge.
The Bristolian TV presenter - who is dating Portugese Man City player Ruben Dias - showed off her incredible curves in the bodycon dress, which featured a striking black-and-white animal print.
Maya, who is known for her bold style, added a pair of white heeled sandals to complete the look, wearing her waist-length brunette hair in loose waves.
She was joined by co-hosts Indiyah Polack, Joe Baggs and Sam Thompson in the segment.
The panel were chatting to dumped Islanders Megan Forte Clark and Remell Mullins, who have been booted off the show recently.
Poppy Harrison and Caprice Alexandra also made an appearance, with Poppy and Remell having an awkward run-in.
She admitted she had been blindsided by Remell as she thought he 'really liked her' after the Truth or Dare game.
However Remell insisted he told her his decision was 'shuffling' and he had changed his mind.
The conversation ended with Remell asking to 'roll the tapes' to which Poppy agreed the producers should do.
Former Islanders Olivia and Alex Bowen were in the hot seat tonight as they made a guest appearance.
It comes after Maya insisted that there are 'a lot of frauds' working in television, who are only friendly when the cameras are rolling.
She appeared on her pal Chunkz's podcast, The Chunkz Show, where she opened up on career and how she secured the coveted Love Island hosting role.
As Chunkz praised her for being so down-to-earth and nothing like the preconceived ideas people had about celebrities, Maya insisted: 'There are a lot of frauds.'
Caprice Alexandra looked stunning as she made her debut on Aftersun
Remell looked smart casual in a pair of jeans and tank, which he paired with trainers
Fellow TV personality Laurence McKenna chimed in to say: 'But also it's okay to be a presenter who is very friendly on camera and a bit reserved off camera.'
But Maya was quick to cut in: 'Reserved yes, but b***h? There's some people who are evil off camera!'
Keeping tight-lipped on who she was referring to, she added that she'd worked with people who acted differently after the cameras cut.
She explained: 'A lot of people have been exposed like that. I won't say any names but on big telly, people have been caught on their mics being like mean.'
Elsewhere, Maya also reflected on her role as the host of Love Island, revealing that she had got the job after previously being rejected for being 'younger than the Islanders'.
'I was actually living in America at the time when they wanted to meet about me potentially hosting. They called when I was in America and they were like "Would Maya be interested in hosting?"

'And I was like "Yeah I would be interested. But this is kind of mad because I kind of like accepted I wasn't really going to be a Love Island host".'
She went on: 'I remember once ages ago I wanted to do it and we had a conversation and they were like "She's too young, because she's younger than the Islanders at the time." And I was like "Yeah that's fair enough."
'And I still am the same age as some of the Islanders, but obviously they think I've grown up a little bit now so it makes sense.'
Maya then went on to credit her fans for helping secure her the role, saying: 'So then I came back to London and we just kind of spoke, I didn't audition it was more like a chat.

Essex man sings karaoke for 27 hours in honour of best friend
A man has completed a challenge to sing karaoke for 27 hours straight in honour of his best friend, who died from Thompson, 49, from Harlow, Essex, live streamed the event at the Harlow Playhouse, charging £27 per song request, or £270 for businesses to sponsor for an hour."I was alright, and then I hit 24 hours, it was like my body just kind of went, what on earth are you doing?"He said he did lots of research on how to prepare for the vocal marathon - which meant cutting out caffeine, sugar and dairy. "I didn't have any sort of stimulants or anything to be able to keep me awake."I was like, 'nope, I can't have any sugar, because that'll just affect my tongue, I'll be stumbling over my words'."Mr Thompson, originally from Gateshead near Newcastle, said he relied on water, herbal tea and coconut own rules dictated that he had to be part of every song, but for a couple of hours he would start a duet then let his partner finish. Before he died lasy year, Kyle Jaggers was receiving care for his stage four Thompson said: "Within the first month of him being at St Clare Hospice, he was like, 'when I'm better, I'm going to raise so much money for these guys because they are absolutely amazing' and on his passing I vowed that he would still raise money for St Clare Hospice but I would do it in his name." Why 27 hours? He said he plucked the 27-hour timeframe from a previous challenge Kyle took on where he walked from Harlow to Brighton."He was literally the fittest man I knew, which is why it was so devastating as well what happened to him."I was like, 'right, what can I do? I'm a performer, all right, let's perform, let's see what I can do'."Mr Thompson raised £7,000 but is determined to hit £27,000 through more challenges.

Christchurch Priory hosts BSO concert to fund 'ambitious' repairs
A historic priory is hosting a classical musical concert to raise funds for its "ambitious masterplan" to secure the site for future Priory, which has stood in the Dorset town for almost 1,000 years, was placed on Historic England's Heritage At Risk register last to restore and repair much of the medieval structure were recently unveiled, with a public fundraising campaign beginning with Tuesday night's Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra will perform a host of classical pieces, while the church's vicar, Canon Charles Stewart, will feature as a guest conductor. Canon Stewart, who spent the "best part of a decade" as a professional singer before being ordained, said "of course" he felt nervous ahead of the performance."When you stand up in front of a very fine orchestra - and its not something you do everyday in life - you get nervous," he said. Tuesday's concert marks the beginning of the priory's fundraising campaign to restore and rejuvenate the Norman building."In the life of every ancient church there comes a time when a special effort is needed to secure the future of the building and also the viability of its mission and service of the community in years to come," Canon Stewart said."For Christchurch Priory, such a time is now."He added that the church's "hard-working and active" congregation "struggle to maintain" the historic place of worship, "let alone cover the cost of major repairs".Among the priory's "ambitious masterplan" are proposals to restore and repair much of the structure, as well as creating new spaces for catering and shop Christopher Wood, who is chair of the fundraising board, said the plan went "far beyond repair and maintenance of the building - it secures our future ministry to the community."

Working with stars like Brad Pitt 'a privilege' says film extra
A local film extra has described his delight at starring in a major Hollywood production alongside Brad Pegler, from Winterbourne Bassett near Swindon, appears in F1 the Movie as a race scrutineer and as a pit production, which was partially filmed at Silverstone during the 2023 Grand Prix weekend, sees Brad Pitt as an ageing racing driver looking to recreate former glories, having been forced into retirement years Pegler said that it was a privilege to appear alongside the stars in such a large production. "I stood next to Javier Bardem for one scene, and near Mr Pitt. I did say hello to him on a couple of occasions."(I was) fairly close to everything and everybody. "I think with people like Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise and the like, they've got a presence, and that was evident. And he's still a good looking boy at 60 something", he Pegler also described how the production was filmed in the midst of a busy race weekend."It's as everything's going on. Through race weekend, they're fitting all the scenes in around what's going on." In contrast to other films and TV shows he has been involved in, he said that the amount of money spent on the film was "crazy"."There were 60 background extras. We were on a reasonable whack for the film, and just that budget alone for the background is huge. "You can't possibly imagine the figures for the whole production."Mr Pegler says that he will watch the film, which has already been released in the UK, with a couple of friends at the cinema in Marlborough.
