Here is a first look at Maya Jama and the new Islanders arriving at the sprawling South African Villa.

The 2023 winter series of Love Island begins in style, with a helicopter circling over the villa with the pilot announcing over the tannoy: “Maya Jama on board.”

The helicopter lands and Maya heads into the Villa, explaining: “It’s a new year, in a brand new Villa, it's a stunning location ready for some sexy singles looking for love, all we need now are some Islanders.”

Greeting the new Islanders, ITV presenter Maya says: “Hello boys, you alright, shall we have a little chat?”

The lads then lined up and waited for the lasses to enter the villa.

Host Maya can be seen wearing a green dress and sporting her hair in loose waves as she greets a bunch of swimwear-clad singletons.

It appears that the boys may be choosing to step forward for the girls this time around as the lads can be seen lining up in the newly-released snaps.

This comes after Love Island's Coco Lodge claimed she was forced to wear a bikini on the show despite feeling 'humiliated.'

The Casa Amor bombshell, 28, told MailOnline she felt "uncomfortable" but bosses made her wear it anyway.

Coco said: "I wanted to wear this orange swimsuit I had, which was flattering for my body. They decided I should wear a bikini though so I was going back and forth with them because I didn't feel comfortable."

"They forced me to wear a bikini and when I got there, one of the other girls was in a swimsuit so I thought… you told me I wasn't allowed and I really didn't feel comfortable walking in wearing a bikini," the TV star claimed.

She added: "I'm sorry, we don't all have perfect bodies. I wanted to feel really great just for that moment walking in. You put a lot of pressure on yourself and they forced me to wear a bikini… I was humiliated."
