Maya Jama is missing out on presenting a gong at the prestigious BAFTA TV Awards tonight – all because of some “posh s*** tuna” she ate.
The 26-year-old DJ and telly personality has said she is too ill to make it – in fact, she has been “throwing up all day” apparently.
She shared the unfortunate news on her Instagram Story, telling her 2.2 million fans: “Soooo sad I won’t be at the BAFTAs today. I ate that posh raw tuna s**t and have been [sick emoji] all day.
“Was supposed to wear the dress of dreams, also I might have to wear it to the shop next week to feel better.”

The awards, being held at BBC Television Centre in west London, is being hosted by comedian Richard Ayoade and a plethora of TV stars are in attendance.
It was cancelled last year due to the pandemic but this year’s offering is a lot different to years gone by.
The audience members are mainly nominees with lots of social distancing in evidence.

In fact, many nominees are being shown on video link from the comfort of their own homes.
Among the early winners of the show are Romesh Rangathan for The Misadventures of Romesh Rangathan and Inside Number 9 for Best Scripted Drama, while Reiki Ayola won Best Supporting Actress.
Meanwhile, stars such as Oti Mabuse and Billie Piper turned up the heat on the red carpet.
