Love Island returned for its 12th series on Monday, and the ITV show has promised to be biggest than ever.
Host Maya Jama was back front and centre to bring viewers the latest drama and gossip from the iconic villa.
The host, 29, ended up distracting fans from the reality show as she opened the series in a stunning black dress.
The radio DJ's outfits are always a talking point on the show, and her 2024 series debut was no different, with fans branding her "perfection".
Taking to X, formerly Twitter, many enthused about her latest look, with one writing: "Maya Jama looks incredible as per & so charismatic, warm & natural! The best host since Caroline #LoveIsland."
"Maya Jama's outfits, never misses #loveIsland," a second penned along with heart eye emojis.
"Maya jama always has the best outfits #loveisland," another commented.
Someone else admitted: "Realistically I’m just here for Maya Jama #loveIsland," as another shared: "not maya jama always being hotter than all the islanders #loveisland."
"How can you even consider going on Love Island when Maya Jama is the host? That woman is literally perfection she shows everyone up #loveIsland," (sic) a different fan pondered.
Jama also got fans talking when she announced a shock twist to the series which left the islanders stunned.
The presenter, who took over as host of the show last year, gathered the contestants around the fire pit to reveal a surprise bit of news.
"It's good to see you're all settled in but as you know, you're on Love Island. You must always expect the unexpected," she warned the group.
The islanders had coupled up based on their first impressions of each other, and Jama asked them each to rate each other in order of "who you think has come across the most like boyfriend and girlfriend material" to "who has given the least relationship vibes."
"Well that was very interesting," Jama remarked after the task before continuing: "I bet you're wondering how we're going to couple you up. Well, you've done it yourselves."

Following the first twist, it was revealed one pair were already at risk of being voted out just hours after making their arrival at the villa.
While the twists and Jama's appearance had fans talking, a tech issue with ITVX also sparked a huge reaction.
The app did not seem to be working for viewers for the first 20 minutes of the show - leaving them furious.
