In the run up to launch day Maya, 28, has been dropping bombshell snaps – and her latest is no acception.

The star flaunted her hourglass curves in a bikini that was a nod to the winter series’ South Africa location.

She also dropped some words of wisdom on her Instagram story.

Maya said: “A morning thought. Sounds a bit wild but anything I’ve ever wanted in life I’ve got.

“But I don’t know what I want next for the first time so this is new. I’m in my ‘enjoy what’s happening right now an think about what’s next later’ bag currently.”

Maya has admitted keeping her new job a secret was a struggle because she’s a terrible liar.

She told The Sun: “It was really hard, especially when there’s loads of rumours.

“I’m not a good liar. I didn’t tell my mum because she’d get too excited and tell people.

“I’ve been a fan for years. Love Island was the first reality show, other than Big Brother, that I made sure I was back at a certain time to watch.”

She is days away from strutting into the luxury villa in Cape Town, South Africa, for the launch and she will get an entrance like never seen before.

Chatting to The Sun at the new base for Winter Love Island, executive producer Mike Spencer said: “We’ve got a few surprises in store for Maya. She’ll be having a very epic entrance.”

Maya laughed in response and said: “I’m intrigued!

“Maybe I’ll have to wear a helmet. I’m not sure what I’ll have to do … probably sign some health and safety forms.
