Maya Jama is without a doubt the most suited candidate for the love island host role.

Here are the seven celebrities rumoured to be taking on the role according to social media:

The BBC Radio 1 appears to be the favourite among fans of the show to take over as host. As well as her regular slot on the radio, Maya has already hosted a dating show for MTV, was the youngest ever person to present the MOBO Awards, and even had her own collaboration with the fashion brand Pretty Little Thing.

Maura Higgins' name was immediately thrown into the hat after Caroline Flack's arrest. The 2019 Love Island star fuelled speculation by posting a picture of herself in a sunny destination with the caption "Do one winter...", the slogan of the upcoming series that has been billed as the "Winter" Love Island.

However, Maura's boyfriend and fellow former Love Island contestant, Curtis Pritchard, has shut down the rumours. Speaking on Hits Radio Breakfast, he said that there was "a coincidence at the timings" and that her photo was simply another work opportunity.

Winner of last year's season of Love Island, Amber Gill has also been named as a worthy replacement for Flack.

Since appearing on the show she's collaborated with the fashion brand, Misspap, so a presenting opportunity might be the next logical step.

Clara Amfo.

Another BBC Radio 1 host, Clara is old hat at presenting. She's taken on role of backstage host at the BRIT Awards twice, and regularly hosts film premieres.

AJ's CV is full of high profile TV presenting gigs, having ticked off Big Brother's Bit on the Side early on in her career. Her most recent role has been presenting backstage at the The Voice UK, so she could be looking for a dating show to add to her repertoire.

Emily Atack.

Emily started her acting career off with the role of Charlotte on The Inbetweeners way back in 2008. Since then, she made a popular appearance on the 2018 season of I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! where she was the runner-up to winner Harry Redknapp. This year she was a co-host of the reality show's spin-off series, I'm a Celebrity: Extra Camp alongside Adam Thomas and Joel Dommett, so she's no stranger to an ITV show!

Laura Whitmore.

Laura Whitmore has been a regular on our TVs since 2008, and has already stepped into Flack's shoes once before when she took over co-hosting I'm a Celebrity: Extra Camp in 2011.

Laura was also the host of Survival of the Fittest, a short lived reality show which was billed as a sister series to Love Island and from the same production crew.

Not only that, her boyfriend, Iain Stirling, is the resident voice-over funnyman on Love Island!
