She never puts a foot wrong when it comes to fashion.
And Maya Jama flaunted her gorgeous curves in a sizzling black thigh-split dress as she kicked off the new series of Love Island in typical stylish fashion on Monday night.
The presenter, 29, stunned in the plunging number that showcased her toned pins in with a very daring slit.
She boosted her height with strappy heels and accessorised with sparkly silver earrings.
Maya styled her long dark tresses in a sleek straight style and opted for dewy and radiant makeup.
For her other look she wowed in a white crochet mini dress and had her hair in glossy waves.
The long-awaited new series of Love Island kicked off on Monday night, but thousands of die-hard fans were left in the dark after ITV's online streaming service was hit by technical difficulties.
Viewers took to social media to express their frustration after being unable to log into ITVX, meaning they missed the show's opening moments.
The new series sees 10 excited new singletons move into the famous villa in Mallorca, before a shock twist reveals the first couples of the new series.
Angry tweets included: 'ITVX now is not the time to be playing up; So everyone's ITVX is doing tomfoolery... ITV have shame actually the worst streaming service available.'
'Anyone else's ITVX down? I need to watch Love Island ffs;'
'How can my ITVX just crash nah; ITVX get all your affairs in order NOW... there should be no lagging with one thousand ads;'

'Now why is ITVX down when Love Island started four minutes ago.'
The 24-year old, a dancer and personal shopper from Brighton, has flown to Majorca as anticipation builds ahead of the show's eleventh series, which launches on June 3.
But in her video tape ahead of entering the villa she told how she had only been single for a very short amount of time.
While ITV have since confirmed she began negotiations with them about starring on the show after her breakup, many on Twitter have still questioned if she was in a relationship when she began her application.
It comes after friends claimed that she told an on-off boyfriend she loved him just days before confirming her participation in the ITV dating show.
Some fans were quick to point out a possible overlap after her newly-single status was revealed, as they penned online: '4 months!???? when did she even apply for Love Island.'
'4 months single, is that it.',
'Doesn't the process to get on love island take longer than 4 months?'.
'Single for four months…how long does the application process take.'
However one viewer pointed out: 'Sometimes Love Island contacts people on their socials and invite them. So they might have only a month to enter the villa.'

While former Islander Brett Staniland shared his own application process experience, saying: 'Mine was pretty much 4 months from first reaching out to confirming me.'
ITV have confirmed she was single when she was in the application process for the show.
It comes after last week friends claimed Harriett told an on-off boyfriend she loved him just days before confirming her participation in the show.
The announcement she was joining the show has been overshadowed by claims that she was still romantically connected to Josh Curling, 25, while ITV producers prepared to name her among 12 new contestants.
The couple originally ended their three-year relationship in January, during which Curling dated another woman, before reuniting in April.
Friends claim she wanted to tell him about the Love Island opportunity but didn't know how to broach the subject.
Blackmore is thought to have visited Curling's home as recently as May 24, during which she gave him a scrapbook of photos detailing their stop-start relationship and told him she 'loved' him, The Sun reports.
But hours after she leaving she sent an unexpected text, telling him: 'I need time to focus on myself and what I'm doing.'
A source said: 'Josh had suspicions she was going on the show. She was going up to London and saying she was being interviewed for [online retailer] PrettyLittleThing.
'He asked if she was going on but at the time she said she would never go on Love Island.
'Josh feels like he's been led down a garden path. He was in love and during their relationship they were talking about moving out and getting married.

'They had a good relationship but it fizzled out in January when they started arguing all the time.
'But they seemed to have been working on getting back to where they were.'
Blackmore has since addressed those claims, telling The Sun: 'We kind of broke up out of the blue but we've remained in contact and, and I think we'll always be friends, there's no bad blood there.
'You know the ex-boyfriend's always going to have a lot to say and even if it's not the ex-boyfriend, one of his friends…. he's not expecting me to be on TV, so he's probably got a lot of emotions, he's probably got a lot of feelings.
'But I'm just gonna clarify, we've had conversations and we remained in contact but yeah, for me, the relationship ended in January.'
Blackmore has also been filmed defending an unnamed Premier League footballer after he was accused of allegedly attacking a group of women.
In the video, which has been widely circulated on social media, she is seen wading in after the woman filming points at a man - who conceals his identity in a cap and hooded coat - and declares: 'You beat up my friends'.
Blackmore then appears in frame to say: 'He's a Premier League football player, so please leave him alone.'
As the group of girls respond: 'I don't give a f**k', she responds: 'Well I give a f**k, so leave. Just leave'.
The woman filming is then heard breaking down in tears and claiming: 'He kicked me', while Blackmore continues to say: 'He's a Premier League footballer, so leave.'

With stunned onlookers watching on, she continues: 'Why are you filming? Give me your phone', before the mystery man walks over to her and the video cuts out.
The footage was uploaded to X, formerly Twitter, hours after Blackmore was unveiled as an Islander, with the caption: 'Love Island, do better.'
MailOnline has contacted a Love Island spokesperson for comment.
WHY LOVE ISLAND? The pool in Portsmouth is not giving. I've tried dating and speaking to people on social media and it just hasn't been successful. Applying was a spontaneous thing, I didn't expect to get here!
WHAT WILL YOU BRING TO THE VILLA? My girls are my rocks and I'm theirs, so I'll be a good friend as well as going in there to find a man. I like dressing up, so I'll bring style, and I'd like to think I'm quite funny so I'll make people laugh. Bringing honesty as well - I'm good at picking up on people's personality traits and side-eyeing those who might be liars.

OCCUPATION: Sweets Salesman
WHY LOVE ISLAND? I've always been one for relationships, and when you have found someone you want to be with it's the best feeling. Now is the perfect time, the one thing that is missing is my soulmate.
HOW WOULD FRIENDS/FAMILY DESCRIBE YOU? Very loving, caring and thoughtful. I'm the kind of guy that, if you broke down on the motorway and needed your tyre changed, I'd be there at any time of night.
NAME: Ayo Odukoya
AGE: 25
FROM: Canning Town
OCCUPATION: Model
WHAT WILL YOU BRING TO THE VILLA? I think I'd bring excitement and joy. I think people would have someone to come to and talk to and feel comfortable being around or to have a laugh with. I think I'm somebody everyone would take to.
WHY SHOULD SOMEBODY DATE YOU? I feel like the way I carry myself is very respectful and I think people take to that and once you show who you are to somebody you get it back tenfold. The way I am gives off a good enough energy for people to feel comfortable around me.

OCCUPATION: Accounts Manager
WHY ARE YOU SINGLE? I've been enjoying single life and the attention of different boys, it's fun. I've enjoyed being able to go on holiday with the girls and not having to worry about someone back home. All the girls are there texting in their room and I'm out till 4 in the morning living my best life.
WHAT IS SOMETHING NOT MANY PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT YOU? I became a world champion dancer in 2011, not many people know that. I was a professional street dancer.
NAME: Jess White
AGE: 25
FROM: Stockport
OCCUPATION: Retail Manager
WHY ARE YOU SINGLE? I don't underestimate the fact that I'm hard work. I know what I want, and I'm not easily pleased. When you're a loud, outgoing woman, sometimes it can intimidate men - men don't always want that.
WHAT'S YOUR TYPE ON PAPER? I love a set of white Turkey teeth but a good set of Turkey teeth. I would say, personality traits: you have to be family orientated. You have to be tall, you can't be shorter than me, I can't be having to question whether I can wear heels around you and what height of heels I can wear. If you're vertically challenged, it's not for me.

OCCUPATION: Surveyor
WHAT'S YOUR TYPE ON PAPER? Obviously looks but humour is a big thing for me, I'm a bit of a wind up so I want a girl who can give it back. Loyalty is another one for me: I think that's the most important thing to look for in a relationship.
WHAT IS SOMETHING NOT MANY PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT YOU? When I was in Malia on a boys holiday I pretended to be Liam Reardon from series 7 to get into a club because they wouldn't let us in. It worked and we ended up getting a private booth and free drinks all night.

WHY ARE YOU SINGLE? I feel like I've been so unlucky in love! It's all been underwhelming so far. I don't know what the reason is, I think it's them, as it can't be me!

OCCUPATION: Model and social media marketing coordinator
WHY ARE YOU SINGLE? No guys have good communication and it's painful. I like someone who doesn't take themselves and life too seriously. My lifestyle can put guys off a little bit, I like to go out and go abroad a lot. They can't keep up with my lifestyle. It's the life that I want, and it helps with my business.

OCCUPATION: Recruitmant Consultant

AGE: 28
FROM: Cornwall
OCCUPATION: Barber
WHY LOVE ISLAND AND WHY NOW? I am ready to find somebody. I’ve been in a couple of relationships and now feels like the right time as I have learnt from past relationships. I’ll be able to pick out the red flags now.
NAME: Trey Norman
AGE: 24
FROM: Doncaster
OCCUPATION: Commercial Insurance Broker
WHAT KIND OF ISLANDER ARE YOU GOING TO BE? I’d say I’m charming and someone that goes after what they want, I’m not afraid to articulate my feelings. I'm going to the Villa to find the girl of my dreams so it may ruffle feathers with the boys.
NAME: Jessy Potts
AGE: 25
FROM: Leicester
OCCUPATION: Brand Partnerships Associate
WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU WILL BRING TO THE VILLA?I’m fun, I like to get involved, so I’d like to think I will get stuck in as soon as I arrive. I also have a very sarcastic sense of humour, so I’ll make everyone laugh, but I’m a Sagittarius, so I also have a fiery side and I'm not afraid to say what I think or stand my ground. I’m not very good at taking 'no' for an answer.
