Love Island’s Maya Jama interrupts live Aftersun show for emotional announcement
Maya Jama brought the latest episode of Love Island: Aftersun to a screeching halt in order to make an emergency announcement.
The 28-year-old host was helming the latest instalment of the Love Island companion show that sees recent dumpees and star guests review and discuss the latest action and events from inside the villa.
But Sunday night’s show had the rug pulled out from under it – by the sudden announcement that two former Love Island stars have become engaged after meeting on the series.
Taking to the show, Maya paused proceedings in order to alert the live studio audience and those tuning in from home about the happy news.

There was then an explosion of rapturous applause as the studio audience came together to celebrate the fact that series five contestants Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury, both aged 24, are to become husband and wife.
Celebrating the news, Maya continued: “See, Love Island works! They’ve got a baby, engagement, just happy ever after.”
Molly-Mae and boxing champ Tommy became proud parents to a daughter that they named Bambi back in January this year.
The couple revealed on Sunday they had decided to tie-the-knot by sharing a video in Instagram which captured the magical moment boxing star Tommy got down on one knee.
Molly-Mae shared the heartwarming black and white video that showed her crying with joy as Tommy proposed on top of a cliff filled with gorgeous flowers, while their daughter Bambi was there to watch on.
