Stormzy on Love Island 2017 is a time we want to go back to.

As Maya Jama takes over hosting Love Island, fans are reviving the time her ex-boyfriend featured on the show after the former couple tweeted their way through series three.

With the start of Love Island series nine fast approaching, one fan shared the video from the episode Stormzy appeared in.

Just days before one of Stormzy’s tweets was used in the tweet challenge, in which he took aim at Olivia Attwood by tweeting: “Chris you’re too good for her mate.”

So when she rushed in to greet the rapper on the screen he said laughed: “Yo, Liv no hard feelings.”

Fans are now realising the full circle moment Stormzy’s ex Maya Jama is having after watching the show (with the musician) as a genuine fan.

In a recent interview with Sunday Times she spoke about taking the reins of the series, revealing she accepted the job straight away.

In the same chat she explained she’s ‘really, really single’ as she opened up about her relationship with Stormzy.

“We were so young when we met, just beginning our careers,” she recalled.

Referencing her split from NBA player Ben Simmons she revealed she’s single, adding: “Newly single. It’s only been a month, but it’s nice.”

Stormzy’s 2022 album ‘This Is What I Mean’ is heavily believed to be about Maya and fans have been rooting for them to get back together ever since.
