Overview
- Jama announced her exit on Sunday, November 8, posting an Instagram highlights video and a written statement saying it was "time to step down" after nine series.
- ITV publicly thanked Jama for her three years on the show and said a replacement will be confirmed in due course with production for Love Island: All Stars planned to film in South Africa in January 2027.
- Jama took over hosting in 2023 from Laura Whitmore and presented nine series plus spin-offs including Love Island: Games and All Stars during her tenure.
- She framed the decision as a career move, citing recent visibility from BBC’s Celebrity Traitors and an acting role in Netflix’s The Gentlemen as part of her choice to pursue new opportunities.
- Bookmakers and tabloids have begun naming possible successors — with former islander Olivia Attwood reported as the early favourite — but any replacement remains unconfirmed by ITV.
