Host Maya Jama criticised one of the islanders on Love Island tonight over an “unnecessary” comment directed at one of their co-stars. The presenter took issue with a remark made by Ben Holbrough following a recoupling.
The latest episode of the ITV show concluded the recoupling after Casa Amor this week. It saw several islanders choose to couple-up with new co-stars rather than remain in the couples that had been formed prior to temporarily being in separate villa.s
Maya said amid the recoupling: “Any of the OG girls want to say anything?” Toni replied: “I don’t know. Tommy obviously surprised me. The rest of you not so much.”
Ben reacted: “Nah, I just think I’ve got to give it to Harrison, man. What Lauren’s been able to give him in three days you haven’t been able to do in two, three weeks.”
Toni hit back: “Save it, b***h.” Shakira said: “There’s two brain cells up there, I swear to god.” Addressing Ben’s comment, Maya said: “Yeah, I didn’t really mean like that Ben, that was unnecessary.”

Fans shared their thoughts about the scene on social media earlier. One person wrote on Instagram: “Maya is brilliant. Best TV host award.” Another said: “Love that Maya put Ben in his place.” A third viewer wrote: “Thank you Maya!”
Someone else said: “You tell him Maya.” One viewer wrote: “Maya getting involved, chefs kiss.” Whilst another fan reacted to a clip of the scene that was shared on the platform: “I love Maya calling them out for their behaviour.”
Not everyone was impressed though. Sharing their thoughts, one person wrote: “Suppose to be impartial Maya.” Another said in their response this evening: “But it’s true what Ben said Harrison looks happier than he was with Toni.”

The interaction came following the latest recoupling. It saw Tommy walk back into the villa with Lucy Quinn. He chose to couple-up with her after meeting in Casa Amor, rather than with Emily Moran, who had been coupled-up with prior.
Tommy’s decision meant that Emily Moran was left single as she had chosen to remain coupled-up with him. She was then dumped from the villa alongside Giorgio Russo, who had also been left single by Billykiss Azeez bringing back Boris Vidović.
