Love Island<\/a> host Maya Jama<\/a> could reportedly secure a lucrative deal for ITV<\/a>’s longtime reality show hit to prevent losing her to rivals like Netflix<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The twist-filled, sunny dating show just wrapped up for another year, and the show seems to be on the up and up with some fans hailing it ‘the best season ever’<\/a> and their viewing figures hitting 2.5 million – higher than it has been in years.<\/p>\n

A large part of this recent success coincides with the 30-year-old host taking over as the presenter in 2023 (after it experienced all-time lows of 1.3m viewers), not only revitalising the format but also gaining 3.2m followers along the way.<\/p>\n

As such, a source told The Sun\u2019s Biz on Sunday column <\/a>that ITV has paid out to make sure she sticks around.<\/p>\n

The insider said: ‘Maya is a huge hit with fans and the bosses. ITV are desperate not to lose her. They\u2019re acutely aware that she\u2019s being offered lucrative work with other companies, such as Netflix. She\u2019s hugely in demand.<\/p>\n

‘Maya is proud to be part of Love Island, and bosses want her to continue with the series for the All Stars and summer format.<\/p>\n

‘It is still early days but bosses are preparing an extremely good package for Maya that she would find hard to turn down.’<\/p>\n

The package is reportedly set to include a pay cheque of \u00a3800,000 to host the main summer series plus another \u00a3800k to host the All stars. That’s a told of \u00a31.6million.<\/p>\n

On top of this, she would be paid extra for hosting After Sun.<\/p>\n

The star clearly still has a lot of love for the show as she took to social media<\/a> to celebrate Toni and Cach’s victory in last week’s live final.<\/p>\n

‘We are one of the few shows to do our finals live and I\u2019m so grateful for the trust because it gives so much room for silliness and iconic moments, you truly never know what will happen and I had so much fun,’ she wrote in a heartfelt post.<\/p>\n

Outside of her professional life, romance is also blossoming for the TV personality as she firmly put her relationship with Stormzy, and a high-profile break-up, in the past. <\/p>\n

In June, she was seen on a very lovey-dovey holiday with her boyfriend, Portuguese footballer Ruben Dias<\/a> whom she was first linked in November. <\/p>\n

Love Island is available to stream on ITVX.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
