Maya Jama is one of the most recognisable faces in the world of reality TV, but how much do you know about her?
She’s the current host of Love Island, a judge on The Masked Singer, and now she's heading into The Celebrity Traitors castle.
Sharing why she was keen to be a part of the second series of the show, Jama said: “I love the show.
“I watched the last celebrity series and I've always wanted to do some kind of challenge game show, but there’s never really been the right one.
“I spoke to Jonathan Ross because we do The Masked Singer together, and he told me I'd love it.
“The only thing he warned me about was not having my phone!
“I'm actually looking at it as a chance to have a little digital detox.
“I also wanted to do something where people get to see more of my personality.
“I watched all the Missions last year and thought, OK... they're not too bad.
“I reckon I could give those a go.”
