Maya Jama arrives in South Africa ahead of Love Island All Stars launch – after Ibiza getaway with new man Ruben Dias
MAYA Jama has touched down in South Africa ahead of the second Love Island All Stars spin off.
The glam ITV2 host, 30, captured her journey through the stunning sun-soaked Cape Town terrain as she travelled in the back of a car.
Maya then made sure to fuel up herself as she stopped for avocado and eggs on toast, washed down with a coffee.
The former BBC Radio 1 DJ was seen on-screen in her new role as The Masked Singer judge this weekend.
She sizzled in a skintight leopard-print dress complete with matching gloves for her show debut.
Yet next week she will hop channels to ITV2 for the launch of the second-ever Love Island All Stars series, on January 13.

A teaser for the show - which sees ITV2 show alum from all series take a second stab at romance - saw Maya donning a white corset top as she posed by a palm tree.
Set in a grand 17th century room with the show's theme tune playing on violins, the former Radio 1 DJ is seen posing gracefully for a painter, draped in a flowing gown.
The camera then cuts to a gallery of masterpieces, showcasing chiselled hunks and bikini-clad women wearing sunglasses, reminiscent of the ITV2 format's cast.
When the artist declares, "Madame, it's finished," Maya - clutching a wand with the Love Island logo - confidently responds, "Finished? We're just getting started."
OFF SCREEN
Meanwhile, Maya's life off-screen has been just as much of a talking point as the All Stars start date.
The Sun exclusively reported how the broadcasting beauty has been dating footballer Ruben Dias for a month.
She met the Man City defender in September at the MTV Europe Music Awards, two months after announcing her split from rapper Stormzy.
She and Ruben, 27, were spotted for the first time together in public on New Year’s Eve, when they shared a romantic dinner.
A source said: “Maya and Ruben swapped details at the EMAs and have chatted since, but things went up a gear in early December.
Love Island All Stars 2025 rumours
Love Island All Stars will be back for its second series in 2025 - and rumours are already rife as to who will be making a comeback this time around.
After the second All Stars series was announced in May, show boss Mike Spender said: "Lots of people have been in contact about it, lots of fun people, from series one onwards.
"We cast it because we knew what was going on behind the scenes of who was getting with who and now even more stories have come out.
"I think we will now save ex-islanders for All Stars."
One rumoured name for the next series is data engineer Harry Baker.
Harry, 25, arrived in the villa as a bombshell in Series 11. He soon 'stole' Grace Jackson after making his debut.
Arriving late in the run, he only lasted for a few days before being dumped alongside Lola Deloca.
Despite the hunk's brief stint, viewers have called for Harry's return.
One upset fan wrote: "Get you in All Stars next", to which Harry cryptically replied by posting 'shrugging' emojis.
“When Ruben got injured and had to miss the congested new year fixtures, he jumped at the chance to see in 2025 with Maya in Spain.
Spending New Year’s Eve together was a real step forward in their relationship.
“They get on really well and obviously make a gorgeous couple, but it’s early days.”
A fan saw them dining at Sa Capella in Ibiza to ring in 2025 and shared a blurry image online.
Social media sleuths noticed the Portuguese footballer had started following Maya online in November and she immediately followed him back.
