Love Island’s new series kicks off with HUGE twist destined to throw villa into chaos as Maya Jama sets newly single and vulnerable Islander a challenge with first dumping just HOURS away

BBG News

On Monday, Love Island made its comeback, and as promised, it brought a series of unexpected turns. Without a doubt, Maya Jama ensured these twists were delivered effectively.

Earlier in the day, the Islanders found themselves paired up following the girls’ self-selection based on dating profiles. However, Maya made a return later that evening with some exciting updates.

Following a day filled with bonding, the pairs found themselves huddled around a campfire when it was announced that the captivating Toni Laites, an American sensation, was about to join the group and potentially win over one of the males.

In a split second, with my heart pounding like a drum, I found myself compelled to choose taxi driver Ben Holbrough over the charismatic construction project manager, Shakira Khan, who was left standing alone, her strength seemingly momentarily shaken.

In my role as a devoted follower, I’d like to share that Maya disclosed a challenging situation: Shakira has only 24 hours to establish a bond with one of the boys or face the possibility of being removed from the island.

To keep residing at the villa, Shakira needs to persuade one of the males to part ways with their partner by the next evening.

If she succeeds, the remaining unmarried girl will be sent away… however, if she fails, it will be Shakira who gets eliminated instead.

In another part of the show, it was the group consisting of Shakira, Meg, Alima, Sophie, Megan, and Helena who stepped into the villa first. Their conversation quickly shifted towards the males they might form relationships with.

Instead of allowing the audience to select the couples like in some recent shows, this time around, the girls will have the responsibility of selecting their potential matches based on their dating profiles.

Things have changed a bit this year. You’ve shared your ‘type on paper’, but is that the same as who you’d prefer in real life? Let’s discuss it by the pool.

As the girls form a line, she says, “Ladies, here are six heart-shaped cards, and each one holds a dating profile from a boy. Shall we take a peek at what these gentlemen have to share about themselves?

After that, the girls examine the profiles or descriptions of the young men from the island – Ben, Dejon, Harry, Conor, Blu, and Tommy.

After that, they need to make a choice about which boy they prefer to team up with, considering crucial factors such as their names, ages, professions, and brief summaries (headlines).

Titles emphasize statements like: ‘I enjoy playing tough and putting in extra effort at work! I really enjoy playing, which is why I work extremely hard…’ to guide the young women when making significant choices.

Following a conversation about the boys’ details, Maya encourages them to decide on the most suitable one among them.

After analyzing the boys’ backgrounds and trying to determine who would fit best, Maya prompts them to choose.

In a count of three, the impressive figure instructs the women to dash towards the heart they’ve picked, ensuring just one lady can be by each heart’s side.

In a count of three, the striking individual advises the females that they should sprint to their selected sweetheart, making sure only one woman is able to stand beside each sweetheart.

Once the girls had made their picks for a partner, they met each of the boys for the first time. However, things didn’t click instantly between them as not everyone fell in love at first encounter.

26-year-old Blu Chegini drew curious glances as he swiftly clarified that the captivating Scottish woman, Alima Gagio, didn’t fit his usual preferences on paper.

Moreover, Megan Moore, aged 25, confessed that her partner, Dejon Noel Williams, who is 26 years old, did not align with her typical type of man.

Besides admitting this, Megan Moore, at the age of 25, disclosed that her boyfriend, Dejon Noel Williams, aged 26, was not the kind of man she usually prefers.

On Monday evening, Maya made a spectacular debut for the latest season of Love Island by confidently walking into the well-known villa to welcome the new female contestants.

The 30-year-old host began the latest installment of stunning outfits with a deep-necked black floral gown, turning heads as she walked in.

Maya donned an outfit that highlighted her long, slender silhouette, with the main piece being a flowing skirt that showcased her exceptional physique. The skirt had a unique design, being shorter at the front and extending to a longer length at the back.

With lush, voluminous curls cascading down her long, dark hair, the ITV2 celebrity complemented her look with a striking pair of oversized drop earrings that matched beautifully.

For the first time, she warmly welcomed the girls residing in the villa. Subsequently, she made her way towards the well-known fire pit to deliberate on the personalities of the villa’s inhabitants.

Inviting the girls to gather by the poolside, Maya showed the girls the dating profiles of the boys prior to them choosing one individually.

Later on, the boys entered the villa and paired up with a girl who was there, based on her profile.

2023 contestants feature a doppelganger of Declan Rice, a woman who breathes fire, a resemblance to Maura Higgins, and once more, Maya will steer the ship as she returns to the hit dating program following her January 2023 debut.

This year marks the tenth anniversary for this show, and as a special tribute, it plans to include more surprises and unexpected developments than ever before.

Over two billion views on ITVX, this popular series boasts more than 300 contestants who’ve walked through its villa doors since inception, such as Olivia Attwood, Dani Dyer, Chris Hughes, and Molly-Mae Hague, to name a few.
