A source told the publication: “Maya has more than proved her worth as a presenter of Love Island and while the ratings for this winter series weren’t the best – she came out on top.
“Love Island have already informed the owners of the £1.2million villa in South Africa that they want to return there at the end of this year ahead of the winter 2024 show.”
“With Maya at the helm for the summer series, ITV think she will only increase its popularity which they think will carry onto the next winter edition.
“Maya was crowned the winner of Love Island when her debut episode aired and ITV think she will only continue to make TV gold for them.”

Those close to the 26-year-old recruitment consultant told the news outlet that he was single while enjoying a wild night out on the town with friends in Hertfordshire.
They explained: “Casey said he was not officially in a couple with Rosie and that he was single. It was clear he was ready to go out on the pull and enjoy the attention that comes after being on Love Island.
“There doesn’t appear to be a deep connection between Casey and Rosie and although they were a couple when they were in the villa, being on the outside has made them realise they’re not right for each other.
“Being on Love Island and being in the villa is like a bubble and once the islanders come out of their situations and relationships completely change.”
