Maya Jama, the host of Love Island, was notably absent from this week’s All Stars premiere due to her ill health.
TV star, Maya Jama, has updated fans on her health after missing Love Island’s All Stars launch yesterday. Fans of the ITV reality show had hoped to see the host at the glitzy event in London – when the line-up was announced – however, Maya was forced to pull out after falling ill.
Thankfully, viewers needn’t worry because the Bristol-born star, 31, will still be hosting the show, which kicks off on Monday, January 12. Taking to Instagram, admitting she’d been ‘knocked out by flu’, Maya shared a snap of herself flying to South Africa where the series is filmed.
She wrote, “Used to spend this flight on the reds chatting away to the flight crew, but entering this year wholesome,” while sat on one of the aircraft’s plush beds and sporting a fluffy cream jumper and an eye mask. Next stop is a message that reads “vitamin c’d up and praying the sun deletes it all,” complete with an emoji for the South African flag.

The panel’s host, Elizabeth Day, announced that she was unable to attend the loved-up launch on Monday despite the panel’s schedule that day because she was ill.
Confirming her illness, a representative said: “Maya is unfortunately unwell and wasn’t able to attend this morning’s launch event. She looks forward to the Love Island All Stars premiere on January 12th.”
Fans are eager to watch the spin-off series, which will feature former Islanders trying to find love once more in the villa, which premieres next week.
And it already looks like there’s going to be plenty of drama before the opening credits have started rolling after fans uncovered a tweet by confirmed All Star, Helena Ford, which reveals her secret feud with a fellow star.
Fans discovered old tweets that Helena purportedly wrote after the 2026 line-up was revealed by ITV yesterday, accusing series three’s Charlie Frederick of “closing down” her 16th birthday party. In a few days, the two are scheduled to reunite in the All Stars villa.
Helena appears to have written in a tweet from 2018 that “Nah that Charlie Fredrick]sic] kid closed down my 16th party and said I looked like a dolphin.”
One fan wrote in a tweet that appeared to be from Helena and Charlie. In 2018, Helena tweeted this regarding Charlie. Last year, this tweet received a lot of attention. #LoveIsland”.
This is absurd, another user wrote on Reddit. And that’s exactly the beef I want, despite how strange and hilarious it all sounds.
A third person responded, “OK, this is the kind of foolishness I can get rid of.”
