Maya Jama takes advice from pop star, but who it it?
Rihanna has given career advice to Maya Jama, the Love Island presenter.
Maya Jama has taken career advice from Rihanna.
The 31-year-old beauty has become one of the most recognisable faces on British TV in recent years, and Maya has now revealed how the chart-topping pop star has helped her to fulfil her dreams in the entertainment industry.
Speaking to the Daily Mail, Maya shared: "I always get so nervous [at events].
"But Rihanna once told me to just pretend I know what I’m doing, and here I am. It works."
Maya is the current host of Love Island and she's happy to share her beauty tips with fans.
The presenter recently stressed that her enviable figure is the upshot of hard work, rather than shortcuts like Ozempic.
She explained on TikTok: "I don't love that since Ozempic, anyone that's slim, they're like Ozempic, Ozempic, Ozempic.
"Some of us are naturally marga [skinny] and we don't wanna be. We like being thicker, but it's hard so just bear that in mind, alright.
"I know there's no sympathy for the slimmers but ... it's a bit hard out here sometimes.
"My tip for the girlies that are trying to gain though, is weight lift. I've gained weight before and I will do it again. And eat late. I don't know if this is proper advice but I eat late at night and then feel like it stays on my body, so let's see."
Meanwhile, Maya previously suggested that she's been forced to overcome the odds in order to achieve success.
The TV star has always been very driven and career-minded - even during her teenage years.
Maya - who was born and raised in Bristol, south-west England - told the Guardian newspaper: "When I was a teenager, I was so tunnel-vision focused.
"My upbringing was not very … I think, statistically, the things that happened to me, or the situation I was born into, I shouldn’t have been where I am now. But I think it made me more determined to prove everybody else wrong."
