Maya Jama teaming up with Peter Crouch for new BBC show Save Our Summer

Maya Jama has teamed up with Peter Crouch for an exciting new BBC series, titled Save Our Summer.

Breaking the news to her fans over Instagram, the 25-year-old star encouraged her followers to reach out and take part in the series.

Produced in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, the programme promises to give “the British public a little bit of all the big summer events that have been taken away.”

“A one-stop shop of summery entertainment,” the show will see Maya, Peter and comedian Alex Horne host an array of acts, from music to comedy.

Making up for the absence of live sporting events on the TV, due to filming restrictions during the lockdown, the show will bring some light-heartedness to British tellies up and down the country.

Stormzy’s ex Maya announced: “I am hosting a brand new BBC One show with Peter Crouch and Alex Horne this summer.

“I know a lot of you who follow me want to get into TV so if you would like to be a part of it after reading this then contact that email.”

TV hopefuls can take part in the show, becoming one of the contenders for a “secret SOS surprise”.

The BBC’s official statement reads: “Using the full scope of communication technology and the hosts’ showbiz-heavy phonebook, Peter Crouch: Save Our Summer will take advantage of everyone being stuck at home to remotely bring audiences live music, replacement sports action, exclusive comedy, celebrity guests, interactive audience fun and VT adventures from all over the country – and beyond.”

While the official release date for the show has yet to be announced, it is due to hit the air in the summer months.

Save Our Summer isn’t the only lockdown special that has been launched since the government restrictions came into place – Home Alone with Joel Dommett has been well received by ITV2 viewers.

The show, which is recorded from his home, sees the comedian meet with celebrities via video chat, as they take part in wacky challenges.
