Speaking about the new look, Maya told This Morning: “Every year we do a little bit. I mean, the kitchen's the main thing that I can see straight away that's changed, kind of like a candy floss, pink and white stripe situation, very cute!
“There's just loads of small details. I haven't had a full tour yet, I need to go and dig around everywhere but, every year I feel like it just gets better and better and just more glamorous.”
She also shared her excitement about the line-up, which The Sun revealed last night.
“I have said many times, I've been a fan since series one,” Maya explained.

“So, I know all of them and seeing the lineup now I'm like, ‘Ok drama, excitement, hopefully some love, and maybe potential forever romances’. I'm mostly intrigued by the exes getting back in there though, obviously, because - drama!”
She particularly excited about the return of Gabby Allen and Marcel Somervile – and is hoping they get back together.
The pair famously split after the villa because he cheated on her while they were on holiday.
Maya said: “I'm such a fan of both of them and that series was one of my favorites as well. I think Marcel is such a sweetheart, Gabby is just the loveliest human as well.

“So, I'm kind of rooting for them to get back together, but who knows, they could end up in a cute friendship. We're not sure at this point but neither of them know the other’s going in, so that's going to be just fireworks anyway.”
But Maya kept very coy about which bombshells could be heading into the villa to shake things up,
“They've got to be a secret, " she insisted. "So I will say nothing on that, but I know there's going to be explosions, and I know it's going to be really jaw dropping as usual!”
