Maya Jama has said the Love Island UK season 13 finale will use a different format, signalling a planned change as the ITV2 dating series reaches the end of its summer run. The host did not reveal what the alteration would involve, but the prospect of a finale shake-up is notable for viewers of the established reality format.

Jama also discussed the show’s growing US profile through Hulu, saying she has seen increased attention from American fans despite not receiving viewing figures. She said her villa appearances have been limited because producers had sufficient drama to air, while explaining that she remains on standby during the two-month series and can be asked to travel to Mallorca at short notice.
