Maya Jama has shared a behind-the-scenes look at the luxurious villa she is staying in while she presents Love Island All Stars in South Africa.
The host, 30, took to her Instagram stories on Wednesday to share a glimpse of the sprawling abode which comes complete with a swimming pool.
Maya appeared to be making the most of the sunshine as she slipped into an orange bikini which showcased her ample cleavage.
Shrugging a white shirt over the two-piece, the former Radio 1 presenter revealed she was relaxing ahead of a run through for the series launch later in the day.
As Maya showed off the pool and garden with sun loungers, she said: ‘So, behind the scenes this is my little waiting house at the Love Island set.
‘So when I’m getting ready, when I’m waiting to go in and tell them, “You’re going home”, I’m here.’

Pointing to the villa, Maya clarified: ‘Well I’m actually in there. But this is where I can come outside. Today, we’re doing a little run through day. It’s exciting.’
It comes after the line up for this year’s series was revealed, ahead of the launch next week.
Last year’s series saw Molly Smith and Tom Clare crowned winners and bagged the whopping £50,000 prize.
Now show bosses have pulled out all the stops with their latest line-up which features Maura Higgins’ ex, a series two OG and a former show winner.
Gabby Allen, Curtis Pritchard, Ronnie Vint, Olivia Hawkins, Scott Thomas, Catherine Agbaje, Nas Majeed, Kaz Crossley, Luca Bish, India Reynolds, Marcel Somerville and Elma Pazar are the initial 12 returning Islanders who will head into the South African villa on Monday night.
Asked what the All Stars will add to the villa this series, Maya said: ‘I think seasoned experience, knowing how Love Island goes, knowing not to waste any time and also perhaps they’ll be a bit older and wiser this time round so hopefully making better decisions – who knows!’
And Maya can’t wait to indulge in some of the local delicacies.
