As Love Island alumni such as Scott Thomas, Olivia Hawkins and Gabby Allen prepare to re-enter the ITV2 dating show, Maya Jama has given a first look inside the South African villa. The new All Stars series, which kicks off next Monday (13 January) will see the islanders shack up in a stunning newly decorated abode.
This year, one of the first things islanders will see is the villa's new outdoor kitchen, which is bright pink and white with a pinstriped design. While the show's iconic firepit area hasn't got anywhere and features gold tiles lining a white semi-circle sofa, where tense recouplings and villa announcements will no doubt be taking place.
Appearing on This Morning on Tuesday (7 January), presenter Maya Jama spoke to hosts Ben Shepherd and Cat Deeley live from the villa, but kept the rest of the abode under wraps other than the firepit and kitchen.

“There's just loads of small details. I haven't had a full tour yet, I need to go and dig around everywhere but, every year I feel like it just gets better and better and just more glamorous.”
Maya's appearance on the show came after the official line-up was revealed, with Gabby Allen, Curtis Pritchard, Kaz Crossley, Nas Majeed, Catherine Agbaje, Olivia Hawkins, Ronnie Vint, Scott Thomas, Luca Bish, India Reynolds, Marcel Somerville and Elma Pazar all set to be entering the villa one more time in a bid to find love after failing the first time around.

And, seeing the line-up now, I'm thinking, 'OK...', drama, excitement, and hopefully some love, and maybe some potential forever romances. I'm mostly intrigued by the exes getting back in there though, because, drama!"
Maya arrived to the villa early and, before her TV appearance, took to Instagram to captured her arrival as she travelled in the back of a car following the long flight. There's not long to go and the second edition of the reality series spin-off is set to grace our screens on January 13 at 9pm.
