Sam Thompson wants to “really study” ‘Love Island’ Maya Jama.
Sam Thompson loves Maya Jama
The 30-year-old star admitted he is keen to mirror the career of the 28-year-old television presenter so he loves getting to see her work at “a close angle” as he enthused about the return of the ITV2 dating competition reality show this summer, which will see him getting to front the ‘Love Island: The Morning After’ post with his “partner in crime” and former Islander Indiyah Polack.
The 30-year-old reality television personality told RadioTimes.com: "I cannot wait! Summer's coming! That's all I think that I can think about. I just can't wait, if we get invited back. I can't wait to see Indiyah again and just vibe with her because she’s just like my partner in crime.
"And just be able to watch Maya Jama do her work every Sunday on ‘Aftersun’ because I want to do what she wants to do. Well what she does.
"So being able to look and watch from such a close angle just across the table from her and really study her – not in a creepy way – but it's really amazing!"
He would also love to see the return of 2017 contestant Chris Hughes, 30, and he praised producers managing to get Adam Collard, 27, back in the villa despite the star's history with Sam's partner Zara McDermott, 26, on the show.
He said: "I thought Adam Collard was a brilliant f****** bring back. It was the icing on the cake. Although he let me down a little bit because I wanted him to be a little bit more Adam Collardy!
"Who would I bring back? Someone who was just magical! It'd be really fun to bring back like a Chris Hughes. I think that would be awesome!"
