Moment Maya Jama takes savage swipe at Jess White during Love Island final – did you spot it?

LOVE Island host Maya Jama took a savage swipe at former contestant Jess White during the live final.

On Monday's episode of the ITV2 show, former stars from the 11th series who had left the villa at various stages reunited for the special show.

As Jess and her partner Hugo Godfroy returned to the villa, Maya couldn’t resist throwing shade at the 25-year-old store manager.

Standing on stage, the presenter said: “Which of the couples are exclusive enough to take home the ultimate prize? Not you, Jess, but the £50k.”

The dig came after Jess often called herself “the prize” for any potential partner that came into the villa.

Some fans caught on to the cheeky joke and took to X, formerly Twitter, to share their thoughts.

One user said: "Yikes Maya Jama just threw Jess under the bus lol."

Another said: “Not you Jess” oooh don’t gag her Maya."

A third added: "Not you Jess Im crying Maya."

"Maya is too funny. not her shading Jess,"; said a fourth.

Last night's episode saw Mimii Ngulube and Josh Oyinsan scoop the £50k cash prize after being crowned the winners.

The duo made history as the first all black couple to triumph in the nail-biting final.

Mimii said she felt "over stimulated, overwhelmed, grateful" adding "I wasn't expecting this".

The pair beat villa favourites Ciaran Davies, 21, and Nicole Samuel, 24.

They also triumphed over finalists Sean Stone and Matilda Draper, who came in third place, and Ayo Odukoya and Jess Spencer, who placed fourth.

Josh said he had tunnel vision for Mimii when he entered the villa two weeks ago.

He told Maya during their exit interview: "I told her when I met her, she surprised me, everything I expected her to be, she was and more.

"So I didn't need to make other connections."
