"Live Italian was an inspiring and, at times, ‘interesting’ adventure, where I learnt how to disconnect and find pleasure in the smallest of things," Jack shared.
He added: "I can now officially confirm there’s truly nothing like being surrounded by empty Italian fields holding a cow’s udders in your hands, to make you feel grounded…dare I even say, zen.
"There’s certainly something to be said about harnessing your inner-Italian.”
Maya is currently travelling back and forth between South Africa and England for her presenting roles - so no doubt Italy made for a nice change of scenery.
