In the sun-soaked Instagram pictures, Maya, 28, looked phenomenal wearing a skintight maxi dress featuring alternating panels of slinky white and sheer mesh material. The TV star modelled her dress to perfection, opting to pose aboard a lavish yacht.

She was pictured reclining on the sun deck, sipping coffee and pausing in a doorway whilst perfecting a cheeky 'belfie' pose.

For an added dose of glamour, Maya rocked a bold rep lip and styled her raven tresses into beautiful bouncy waves. She kept her jewellery minimal, opting for a simple pair of silver hoops, and completed her luxe holiday look with a sleek white manicure. Perfection!

In her caption, Maya noted: "Allll aboard [laughing face emoji] can't wait to back on your TV tonight @loveisland! Who's ready…"

Fans went wild in the comments section, with one writing: "Ohhh my days I've missed you," while a second gushed: "The best choice they ever made in TV hosting history."

The presenter is dressed by stylist Rhea Francois for all her work on the dating show and beyond – and recently spoke about her style vision for this year's run on Love Island.

She told MailOnline: "We haven't decided yet, but I've said that I want to look beachy, sexy and fun. I'd say 'Ibiza summer' is the vibe I'm going for."
