Jessie says Casa Amor has made her realise how much she likes Will

Love Island viewers noticed a small change in the format of the show on Thursday night when the contestants returned from Casa Amor and Maya Jama hosted the recoupling.

Maya Jama is being praised for asking the couples their individual opinions after returning to the main villa from Casa Amor.

A few of the reunions turned heated after some Love Islanders had their heads turned, with Olivia Hawkins left furious when she saw Kai Fagan had recoupled with Sanam Harrinanan, despite the fact she returned in a new couple herself, with bombshell Maxwell Samuda.

There was also a lot of tears after Will Young confessed to Jessie Wynter he kissed one of the bombshells.

Through it all Maya ensured every contestant had their opinion heard, even asking the bombshells if they had anything they wanted to get off their chest.

The new Love Island host didn’t hide her feelings from her face either, especially after Tanya Manhenga returned with Martin Akinola on her arm days after she and Shaq Muhammad said ‘I love you’ to each other.

And fans loved every minute of Maya’s involvement.

“I love Maya,” one fan tweeted. “Usually they don’t ask for the girls opinion till after everyone’s recoupled. I LOVE THIS MAN.”

Another replied in agreement: “Granted she’s not a producer but I’ve never seen this done before by previous presenters. I think they can say what they please to a certain extent.”

“Maya jama stirring the pot is making this so much more entertaining,” said another.

“Maya jama asking the question #loveisland,” said a fourth, seemingly referring to the moment she asked the contestants if they stayed loyal to their partners while they were separated.

“Maya Jama was just made for this show,” wrote another.

Love Island had an emotional end on Thursday night after Shaq told Tanya he’s ‘done’ with their relationship after she told him it’s ‘not the end of the road.’

Meanwhile, Will and Jessie had an emotional reunion after the Australian Islander was left shocked by his confession of kissing Layla Al-Momani.
