Brit Awards co-host Maya Jama squirmed as she was quizzed on her engagement to Ben Simmons by presenter Mo Gilligan at this year’s awards ceremony.
The 27 year old is set to say 'I do' after a proposal from NBA basketball player Ben Simmons, 25 – who she has dated since May 2021 – in January this year.
Earlier in the night, the presenter stunned on the red carpet in a daring black cut-out dress as she flashed her engagement ring, thought to be worth £700k, during her arrival to the ceremony.
Later changing into a shimmering red dress with a thigh-high slit on one side, Maya joined host Mo, 33, for a chat during which he casually mentioned the star’s recent engagement to her basketball player beau.
"I can’t have you here without talking about that amazing rock on your finger," Mo pressed, as Maya tried to hide her hand behind her back.
He continued: "Listen, that is the price of a small bedroom studio flat in London".
Maya continued to squirm and said while laughing: "Alright, let’s move on."
Viewers of the show at home picked up on Maya quickly changing the subject after Mo’s joke.
One viewer wrote on Twitter: “Not Mo calling out Maya Jama’s engagement ring, which he describes as 'the size of a small studio flat in London.'"
Talking about Adele’s engagement rumours, another asked: “Is mo talking about Maya’s engagement ring to distract everyone of the big rock Adele has on her left hand??”
A third person added: “The way Maya Jama changed the subject so quick when Mo asked her about the huge diamond ring”.
Meanwhile, a fourth said: “Why doesn’t Maya want to say she’s engaged? …we already know girl lol.”
Earlier in the night, Maya arrived to the red carpet in a phenomenal black crop top and skirt combo which featured daring zig zag cut outs.
The outfit was styled with a chic coordinating black faux fur shawl to add that extra bit of drama to the ensemble.
The outfit was finished off with a pair of silver sparkling court heels to break up the darkness and other jewels including a dainty diamond bracelet and chandelier-style earrings.
The collection of incredible jewels which perfectly complimented the dark outfit, and we couldn't take our eyes off Maya's engagement ring.
The impressive 10-carat diamond rock is said to be estimated to be worth a whopping £700k so it's no wonder she made sure the item took centre stage.
