Maya Jama bags glam new TV show with Jack Whitehall after Love Island success

MAYA Jama has landed a new TV show alongside Jack Whitehall following her success on Love Island.

The host, 28, will be joining the comedian as they embark on a journey to explore Italian culture in the new series.

The pair have also joined forces with ex-England rugby legend Lawrence Dallaglio to find out what it really means to "live Italian".

The travel show will air on Prime Video as Jack, Maya, and Lawrence document their journeys across Italy.

Each episode will last 45 minutes and feature each celebrity paired up with an Italian expert to show them the best of the country.

In the first episode, Jack is paired with Italian presenter Chiara Maci. They will be enjoying a culinary tour around Tuscany.

Viewers will also get to see the comic make his own gelato after milking a cow.

Episode two will centre around Maya and singer and actress Lodovica Comello as they travel through Milan and Cremona together, exploring the role of music in Italian culture.

In the final episode Lawrence will meet with former Italian rugby player Martin Castrogiovanni.

Jack described the short series as "inspiring" and like a "interesting adventure".

"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.
