LOVE Island viewers were completely bowled over by Maya Jama’s debut this evening – and the amount of times she was seen on screen.
The new host, 28, appeared in the villa twice in one episode and fans couldn’t resist joking that it was already more times than Laura Whitmore visited.

Last year The Celeb Report told how Laura had featured for less than 14 minutes half way through the series – despite being thought to earn £600,000 to present the show.
Maya, who took over after Laura quit, entered this evening to kick off the first coupling, before returning that night to reveal the arrival of a shock bombshell.
Taking to Twitter to discuss her presence, one person wrote: “Imagine we’ve seen Maya twice in one episode. Laura we wouldn’t see her for another 6 weeks #LoveIsland.”
A second commented: “Not Maya making more appearances in one episode than Laura did all last season lol #LoveIsland.”
As a third added: “I swear Maya Jama has already spent more time in the Villa than Laura Whitmore did for the whole of last season #loveisland.”
Laura previously hit back at critisim she got over lack of screen time.
She told the Independent: “I just felt like there was only so much that you can do in a show like that.
“And also the frustration, I guess, when someone’s like, ‘Oh, you do 10 minutes on a show’ and I’m like, ‘Do you have any idea how many hours that takes (to film)?!’
“I think now with twice a year, it kind of will take up your whole life. Your whole life to watch it. Can you imagine working on it!”
As well as presenting in the villa, Maya will be hosting Aftersun every Sunday evening from London.
During the first episode Maya made a dramatic entrance via helicopter before getting to know the lads and start the first coupling of the series.
The star – who wowed viewers with her various looks, suggested she has faced difficulties in her past relationships.
She told the 10 new contestants: “Don’t forget, finding your perfect match is never that simple – trust me, I know.”
Maya parted ways with ex-boyfriend Stormzy in summer 2019 after more than four years together and was later in a relationship with American basketball player Ben Simmons.
