New Love Island host Maya Jama advises Islanders to 'take time away' from social media

She's set to take on her first season of Love Island as the new host in the coming weeks. And Maya Jama is already offering some advice to the upcoming contestants as she urges them to 'take some time away' from social media when dealing with the newfound fame. The presenter, 28, explained that they can 'utilise it for the best bits' to avoid negativity online, as she gave her own tips and tricks. Appearing on Friday's This Morning, Maya chatted to hosts Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary on the upcoming series. And the presenting duo were keen to know what advice she had in terms of being online in the public eye. She explained: 'If you are already a social media user, use it for fun, if you don't want the extra stuff, take some time away. Mute people you don't want to see. 'I have it so I can only see my close friends on Instagram, so I live in this happy bubble. If you can utilize it for the best bits that a good combo.' The new Love Island rules mean that ITV2 will ban Islanders' social media activity during the show and will give enhanced training around behaviour in relationships after a controversial summer series. In previous seasons, families and friends have been appointed to man islanders' social media accounts - often posting on their behalf. But now ITV have said a comprehensive package of welfare measures remain in place for programme contributors to ensure stars are fully supported before, during and after the filming period. As part of extended measures to protect both the Islanders and their families from 'the adverse effects of social media', participants will be asked to pause handles and accounts on their social media platforms for the duration of their time on the show.
