LOVE Island host Maya Jama has been living the high life in St Tropez ahead of the new series.
The TV beauty, 29, ensured she is in the best possible condition for the summer run by staying at a detox sanctuary in the south of France.
And she shared the agenda for the four-day stay detox at the Shape Club, part of wellness sanctuary Lily of the Valley.
It said the stay for party-loving Maya was to “take time for yourself and rethink your lifestyle”.
It read: “This program focuses on a light diet combined with yoga, gentle and outdoor exercise, and treatments that promote relaxation, to bring you a feeling of lightness and well-being, ideal for an escape from daily life and to reset your body and mind.”
Located in La Croix-Valmer, the hilltop retreat is a protected nature reserve and features a luxury hotel designed by French design guru Philippe Starck and inspired by the hanging gardens of Babylon and abbeys of Provence.
It looked to have had a positive impact on Maya, who posed at the luxury setting in a cherry print bikini.
She wrote: “The most wholesome week of wellness & wine.”
Maya radiated beauty as she took a selfie in the swimwear. She enjoyed a book in a quiet room with picturesque views and cooled off by taking to the pool for a dip.
Dressing up in a bronze mini dress, Maya was presented with rosé wine and soaked up the scenery at sunset.
Yesterday Love Island bosses took to Instagram with a sizzling picture of busty Maya in a red dress to mark the announcement.
In their caption, they wrote: “We’re coming in hot! Love Island returns Monday 3rd June #LoveIsland.”
In fact, the ultimate search for love will launch at 9pm as part of a multichannel takeover on ITV1, ITV2, ITVX, STV and STV Player.
It will continue on ITV2 and ITVX for the remainder of the series.
Love Island: Aftersun will also return to screens live from London every Sunday on ITV2 and ITVX hosted by Maya alongside an all star array of regular panellists.
Sam Thompson and Indiyah Polack will resume their hosting roles and will be joined by new panellists Amy Hart, Chris Taylor and Jordan Stephens to discuss all the goings on from the villa this summer.
Indiyah will continue to host Love Island: The Morning After podcast joined by Amy and Chris every Tuesday to Saturday, now available to watch visually for the first time ever.
Together they will be joined by a rotation of celebrity Love Island fans as well as the dumped Islanders fresh from the villa to catch up on all the latest action.
The house itself has had a brand new makeover for the summer series.
Builders are working their magic to transform the huge ITV set for a fresh crop of sexy singletons.
The Sun also revealed the first hopefuls heading to the sun-kissed pile, starting with Ciaran Davies, who plays for rugby union team Tondu.
A source said: “Ciaran caught the eye of Love Island bosses.
“He’s gorgeous with a fit, athletic build that will send the girls in the villa wild, but he’s also a sweet boy next door from Wales.
“He’s been in talks for weeks and is set to jet out to the villa in Majorca in the coming week or so.”
Patsy Field, from London, is said to have been snapped up too.
The beauty has Erb’s Palsy, which means one of her arms is shorter than the other and has less function.
The birth defect was a result of Patsy being delivered naturally rather than via Caesarian section amid complications in the labour.
Samantha Kenny from Liverpool has signed for the show as well.
The 27-year-old works in a beauty salon and regularly shares glam snaps on Instagram.
Manchester-based model Grace Jackson is getting ready to fly out too.
Grace already has 80,000 followers, with former Islander Molly-Mae Hague among them.
- Love Island returns on Monday 3rd June at 9pm on ITV1, ITV2, ITVX, STV and STV Player.
