Stormzy's ex girlfriend Maya Jama is currently favourite to replace Caroline Flack as the new host of Love Island following this presenter's announcement that she's stepping down from her role earlier this morning.
According to odd makers Coral, Radio One presenter Maya, 25, is the most likely to be announced as the new host of the ITV2 dating show at 5-6.
"Many of our punters feel as though Maya Jama is the perfect replacement for Caroline Flack on Love Island and after a flurry of bets behind the radio DJ, she is the odds-on favourite for the role," said Coral’s John Hill.
"Ant and Dec are also prominent in the betting now they are fresh from the jungle, while Iain Stirling does an excellent job at voicing the show and could be under consideration to step up to present."
