The return of the beloved winter version will kick start the New Year with a fresh batch of Islanders heading to South Africa.

But before Maya and the sexy singletons jet off, the telly star has decided to perfect her smile.

Sharing a video to her Instagram story last night, Maya said: “So here I am back at it again, attempt two at Invisalign.

“The messed up thing is if I did it when I got them six months ago I would be half way there but we go back to the beginning.

“I never actually noticed my teeth until other people did which is kind of f***ed up so I’ve been rebelling fixing them or straightening them cos they’re not fixed.”

Maya captioned the post: “Dnt watch my nails lol pamper day is tomoro.”

The stunner was confirmed as the new Love Island host after Laura Whitmore quit the programme.

ITV officially announced its new face of the hit dating show, weeks after The Sun exclusively revealed Maya had been chosen to front it.

Maya said: “I’ve always been such a massive Love Island fan and I’m so excited to be hosting one of the nation’s favourite shows!

“I can’t wait to get into the Villa to meet all of the Islanders.”

Director of Reality Programming & Acquisitions and Controller, ITV2, ItvBe & CITV, Paul Mortimer said: “Finding a new host to follow the wonderful Laura Whitmore was never going to be easy.

“In Maya Jama though, we have another high profile fan of the show who’ll be a great addition to the Love Island family.

“Cool, charming and charismatic, I speak for us all when I say Maya will also bring a unique presenting style to the show, as did Laura and, of course, the very much missed Caroline Flack.

“We’re very pleased to have her on board.”

She will appear in the winter version which is set to return to South Africa in January.

Maya — worth around £2.5million — will also host the dating show’s summer edition from Majorca.
