Love Island's Maya Jama jets back to South African sunshine for 'Casa Amor recoupling'

Love Island fans have been sent into a frenzy after Maya Jama teased the much-anticipated Casa Amor recoupling could be happening very soon. The presenter, 28, posed on a plane as she told fans via her Instagram story that she was "Gone again".

Maya has been jetting back and forth from South Africa since the second winter series of Love Island - and the first series she has ever hosted - kicked off last month. Last week, the Bristolian beauty enjoyed a lavish girls' trip in Dubai, before jetting back to the UK to quickly get ready for the BRIT Awards on Saturday night (February 11).

The clip Maya posted on her Instagram story signalled her return to South Africa as she posed with the flight attendants on what was presumably a private jet. She then confessed to fans that she was "enjoying every second" of her jet-setting lifestyle.

Last night, February 13, Maya wrote on her Instagram story: "Live show last night an had a shoot this morning now on the way to South Africa but this was everything I ever dreamed of. Super grateful and it's more than I could imagine.

"Cheesy but real life. Thank God every day because it could have been very different & I love every single person that has supported me and made all of this happen too."

Maya looked comfy but stylish for the long flight back to South Africa, wearing a black tracksuit after a whirlwind weekend which saw her at the BRITs on Saturday night before partying the night away on the River Thames with her friends. The following day, she fronted another episode of Love Island's Aftersun in London.

The star let her plans for this week slip as she presented the BRITs at the weekend. She seemed slightly nervous as she divulged to Mo Gilligan that she was heading back to the Southern Hemisphere sun a few days later, sparking speculation amongst fans of Love Island that there would be a recoupling following the Casa Amor twist.

Chaos is already erupting amongst this year's contestants as Casa Amor is well underway. Bombshells have shaken things up with the original cast members, with connections already beginning to form between the two camps.

Members of the original cast line-up appear to have had their heads turned by the newcomers, jeopardising the future of their already-formed couplings. The Casa Amor bombshells include Conor Maynard's ex-girlfriend and a North London baker.

When the Casa Amor recoupling commences, the OG islanders will be given the decision of staying loyal to their original partner, or ditching them in favour of a newcomer.

Love Island returns to ITV2 and ITVX tonight at 9pm.
