Love Island's Maya Jama joins Jack Whitehall and Lawrence Dallaglio for new Amazon Prime show

Love Island's Maya Jama has landed a new role following her sparkling reception on the ITV2 reality TV show. It appears that Bristolian beauty Maya will not be giving up her jet-setting lifestyle any time soon as she is set travel regions of Italy to learn more about the country's culture.

Maya has been travelling back and forth from sunny South Africa since making her debut as the new host of Love Island last month, and went all out for a luxurious girls' getaway in Dubai with her friends last week. The Mirror reports that she and Jack have teamed up with former England rugby player Lawrence Dallaglio to find out what it's really like to "live Italian".

The Prime Video travel show will see Maya, Jack and Lawrence paired up with an Italian expert, who will show them the jewels of Italy and all the Mediterranean country has to offer. Each episode has a duration of 45 minutes, and will follow each celebrity as they document their travels.

The first episode will centre around Bad Education star Jack's culinary tour around Tuscany, led by Italian presenter and blogger Chiara Maci. Viewers will also be treated to scenes of the 34-year-old comic milking a cow and making his own gelato.

Maya, 28, will pick up the reins in episode two as she journeys through Milan and Cremona with singer and actress Lodovica Comello. The celebrity pairing will explore the hold music has over Italian culture.

The third and final instalment will see Lawrence meet with former Italian rugby player Martin Castrogiovanni. With Maya currently kept busy by constant travelling between England and South Africa to honour her Love Island hosting duties, Italy undoubtedly made for a nice change in scenery.

Ahead of the new series, Jack described his travels through Italy as being "inspiring" and an "interesting adventure". He said: "Live Italian was an inspiring and, at times, ‘interesting’ adventure, where I learnt how to disconnect and find pleasure in the smallest of things.

"I can now officially confirm there’s truly nothing like being surrounded by empty Italian fields holding a cow’s udders in your hands, to make you feel grounded…dare I even say, zen. There’s certainly something to be said about harnessing your inner-Italian."
