Maya Jama reveals unseen Love Island final blunder saying it was ‘a madness’ backstage
MAYA Jama has revealed an unseen Love Island final blunder.
This year’s series of the ITV2 show ended on Monday night with Jess Harding and Sammy Root being crowned winners.
Maya has only just watched the final episode back and admitted it was a “madness” backstage.
Taking to her Instagram story, the host said: “Just watched back the final and so cute.
“Also had my first live autoque going down situation and I am bloooody proud of the way I handled it (presenters will know how much of a madness that is).”
Meanwhile during the show fans were left baffled tonight as Maya Jama suffered a major slip-up just moments before announcing the winner.
The presenter told viewers they were about to see Whitney Adebayo and Lochan Nowacki‘s best bits, but a video of Jess Harding and Sammy Root played instead.
Some suggested meant even ITV had the tapes prepared in a certain order.
One said: “I still think getting the best bits wrong also meant they’ve got the votes wrong but they’ll never say.
“They’ve already crowned the winners and give the money so it’s done.”
Another added: “Not ITV accidently revealing the winner by playing the wrong VT. They were expecting Whitney to win then so had the VTs ready to go then realised the votes were too high…”
Others have claimed that they worked out the 2023 winners before host Maya announced them on screen.
Many spotted a subtle clue that “gave away” the winning couple early on during the live final in Majorca.
Usually the pair standing on the right hand side go on to be crowned winners.
