Inside Maya Jama’s beauty prep for Love Island final in South Africa

The grand finale of Winter Love Island 2023 is set to take place this evening and host Maya Jama has been busy getting prepared in South Africa.

Maya, 28, will reveal whether Ron Hall and Lana Jenkins, Kai Fagan and Sanam Harrinanan, Tom Clare and Samie Elishi or Tanya Manhenga and Shaq Muhammad are the winning couple of this year's series on Monday 13 January live from Cape Town.

After presenting Love Island: Aftersun live on Sunday evening, where she was joined by Will Young and Jessie Wynter who came in fifth place, Maya was straight back to the studio on Monday as preparations for the final got underway.

Taking to her Instagram Stories, she gave fans a glimpse into her beauty routine as she sported under eye patches and went make-up free while making her way to the Love Island set.

The 28 year old looking incredible in denim high waisted shorts and and a white crop top with her hair in loose waves.

"ITS THE FINAL TODAYYYY," Maya excitedly wrote alongside a clip of herself in a car alongside two starstruck emojis.

She then sported dark sunglasses and got herself a hot drink once she'd arrived, and was soon joined by comedian Thanyia Moore, who happily danced in a fun Instagram clip.

Tonight's show will mark the first Love Island final Maya has fronted after it was announced she'd taken over the role from Laura Whitmore in 2022.

Laura, 37, stepped down from presenting the ITV2 dating show after hosting three series and it was then revealed that Maya, who was a firm favourite to replace Laura, would be taking over the iconic presenting gig.

The Love Island 2023 final will see a swanky ceremony-style final party for the remaining four couples take place in the villa, where they will declare their feelings for one another in adorable speeches.

Amongst the final moments, the finalists will enjoy one last party in the villa complete with drinks and dancing, as the series bows out with a series of poignant goodbyes.

Live from South Africa, Maya will then announce where each of the couples have placed, with the winning couple taking home the grand prize of £50,000.

Love Island comes to an end with the live final at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX
