Bikini-clad Maya Jama has shared a glimpse at her ‘wholesome’ downtime holed up in Cape Town. 

Love Island All Stars contestant, 31, is unexpectedly enjoying some downtime in South Africa after the new season was delayed because of wildfires.

Maya posted a short video on Instagram Tuesday, giving fans a peek at her life and showcasing her amazing physique.

Maya showcased her fit physique wearing a tiny black bikini from Hunza G, which had sparkly details inside.

Maya filmed a video while walking around Cape Town, which she now considers her second home. She’s been visiting for four years and feels like she knows the city and its people well.

She said she’s been visiting for four years and feels like a regular. She enjoys walking around, going into the shops, and greeting people as if she’s part of the community.

Maya mentioned she rented a bike in South Africa and has been exploring Cape Town whenever she has free time.

She wrote with the video: ‘Sending lots of love – things are really sweet and positive here! We’re still getting settled, but I’ll try to post updates more often once we find our rhythm.’

On Monday, Maya Jama let fans know what was happening with the dating show after ITV had to delay the start of Love Island: All Stars.

While waiting for filming to begin at her luxurious villa, she shared updates on her Instagram Stories.

The photo highlighted the property’s vibrant green lawns and bright blue sky, hinting that the show might return soon.

Production on the new series was scheduled to begin this weekend, but it’s been delayed due to recent wildfires near the filming location.

ITV revealed over the weekend that the launch was delayed. In a statement posted on Instagram Monday night, they said they were still working to finalize the new date.

Filming for the new series is expected to begin on Wednesday, according to recent reports, though a release date hasn’t been set yet.

We’re letting everyone know that the first episode of Love Island has been postponed because of wildfires happening near where the show is filmed in South Africa.

Thankfully, everyone is safe, and we’re still planning to release a fantastic series. We’ll share the new release date on our social media channels as soon as it’s confirmed, so please stay tuned!

The show was originally supposed to premiere Monday evening, but it’s been postponed because wildfires prevented filming over the weekend.

According to The Sun, filming is expected to start on Wednesday, though the exact date it will be released hasn’t been determined yet.

ITV is losing around £15,000 every hour due to the delay, as they’re still paying for the crew, staff, camera operators, and psychologists who are already in South Africa and ready to work.

Maya arrived last week to prepare for the show, and twelve contestants—including Millie Court and Tommy Bradley—are already settled into luxurious accommodations. More contestants, known as ‘bombshells,’ will be joining them soon.

Maya shared some glamorous bikini photos on Instagram on Sunday, showing her enjoying the sun at her villa.

The beautiful woman relaxed by the pool, anticipating the start of filming for the new season of Love Island, just like many of the other cast members this year.

Maya showed her excitement for the new series with a clock emoji, suggesting she couldn’t wait for it to begin. Filming has been delayed indefinitely after emergency services worked through the night to manage another incident near Wemmershoek.

As a lifestyle expert, I’m hearing that those in charge are really prioritizing safety right now. They’re saying they absolutely have to wait until the area is given the all-clear before anything else can happen. It’s a smart move, ensuring everyone’s wellbeing comes first.

We’re eager to return, but we’re still completing necessary safety checks and evaluations.
