"The pre slow mo practice," Maya added with a smiling face emoji.
Maya's debut on the show left fans and ITV bosses thrilled with her performance, despite the show's lower ratings this year.
"I need Maya Jama to get a 10 year contract to host Love Island now!! She is doing a fantastic job hosting this reunion and bringing out the messy," one fan said on Twitter.
A second put: "GREAT first series hosting @LoveIsland AND #loveislandaftersun from @MayaJama. It’s a big show & was a huge role to fill. She blew it out of the water. Looking forward to see her again this summer!"
An insider told The Sun that Maya had "proved her worth" as the Love Island host.
“Maya has more than proved her worth as the presenter of Love Island and while the ratings for this winter series weren’t the best – she came out on top.
“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.”
