Maya Jama flaunted her jaw-dropping figure in a tiny bikini as she continued her romantic Italian getaway with boyfriend Reuben Dias on Friday.
The Love Island host, 30, who is thought to have been dating the footballer, 27, for several months, took to her Instagram Stories while soaking up the sun on the deck of a lavish yacht.
Maya set pulses racing in the tiny two piece which boasted a bandeau top and skimpy drawstring bottoms as she playfully sung to the camera.
Shielding her eyes behind chic shades Maya showed off her flawless and make-up free complexion while tying back her long brunette locks.
She later teased the upcoming season of Love Island before asking fans to vote for the All Stars series which had been nominated for a National Television Award.

The Love Island host, who is thought to have been dating the footballer, 27, for several months, took to her Instagram Stories while soaking up the sun on the deck of a lavish yacht.
Maya said she'd also been nominated for Best Presenter for a sixth time, but had come to terms with herself never winning due to Ant and Dec's 23 year streak.
On Thursday the stunner shared her first ever snap with Ruben as she gave an insight into their romantic trip.
The couple are believed to have met after the stunner caught the Portuguese player's eye when they met at the European Music Awards (EMAs) in November.
Their romance was finally confirmed after they were seen packing on the PDA at KSI 's Baller League event in April.
And posting a snap with her new boyfriend for the first time, Maya looked incredible in a triangle bikini while soaking up some sun on a boat.
She was later diving into the water while Ruben filmed her from the top deck.
Maya went Instagram official with her boyfriend Ruben two weeks ago, when she shared a video for the first time.
The Love Island host was all smiles in the clip as she sat alongside the footballer in a car heading back to her house.
The presenter has been seen at multiple football games over the last few months to watch Dias live in action for Man City.
Footage of the pair last month showed them with their arms around each other before he leant into her neck for a peck, with Ruben flying under the radar in casual clothes and a cap.
A source told The Sun: 'Maya and Ruben seemed very close, very loved up and were clearly very comfortable with each other.
'They were chatting to others around them but gravitated back to each other. They seem very happy with each other.'
It is the first time they have been seen in public since they were thought to have started dating - though Maya has often hinted at the romance by sharing snaps of flowers she has been sent.
Their appearance at the Baller League came just one day after she supported Ruben at Wembley on Sunday as his team Manchester City triumphed 2-0 against Nottingham Forest in the FA cup.
The Love Island host took her whole family to Wembley to support him.
She shared a video on the way to the stadium as she penned 'family day out to Wembley' in the caption - while her mother Sadie and brother Omar sat in the car with her.
Maya then shared a snap of the pitch as she watched on - while her family enjoyed the atmosphere.
It was reported that the pair are getting even 'serious' after the centre back introduced Maya to his mother Bernadette, according to The Sun.
This news came two weeks after it was reported that Maya is being followed on Instagram by Ruben's mother.
During the last international break in March, Maya flew to Lisbon to watch him play for the Portuguese national team.
She was pictured in the stands at the José Alvalade Stadium to witness Portugal's 5-2 victory over Denmark in the second leg of their Nations League quarter-final.
The presenter was seen with a friend and glasses of wine in a VIP hospitality box - usually reserved for friends and family of players.
Maya then posted a picture on social media of the two celebrating together at their romantic fireside retreat at 3:30am the following morning.
The snap is believed to have been taken at the footballer's home in the Cascais region of Portugal, with a vast swimming pool and fire pit glimpsed in the picture.
They reportedly started dating in December, having met at the EMAs in November, which took place in Manchester - where Dias plays.
Rumours of the couple's romance only intensified in the days following Valentine's Day after Jama shared the bouquet of roses she received on her return to the UK from Cape Town following the conclusion of the 2025 Love Island All Star season.
The pair were then spotted .

This is Venice's coolest hotel right now
Every time I look at the vaporettos, ambulance boats and bin boats that plough up and down the Grand Canal, I marvel that Venice, a city of 250,000 people, manages to function. It's beautiful, endless proof of the adaptability of the human race, but it's never been cool. In general, Venice is about as hip as an A-level history teacher. And yet, while I'm eating a plate of gnocchi with ragu for £15 on a terrace opposite the Rialto, I'm somewhere very cool indeed. Venice M'Art occupies the ground floor of the Venice Venice Hotel, which quietly opened a couple of years ago behind the façade of a 13th-century palazzo, the oldest building on the Grand Canal. In the 16th century, Ca' da Mosto became one of Venice's earliest hotels, later hosting Mozart, Voltaire and Byron. By the end of the 20th century, when water breached the ground floor, it was — quite literally — sinking into decay and became derelict. Then, the husband and wife designers Alessandro Gallo and Francesca Rinaldo — by purchasing ten separate apartments over a number of years — managed to buy the palazzo. The couple, who sold their fashion brand Golden Goose in 2017, had grown up in nearby Mestre. They spent millions more shoring up the building before returning it to a hotel. Venice is a city that excels in experiential hotels. But Venice Venice — spread over two different buildings — takes it to another level. Arrive in the evening by water taxi at the Grand Canal entrance and the first thing you'll see is a marble sculpture Mother and Son by Fabio Viale, surrounded by (purified!) canal water and lit by the flickering lights of large white candles stationed on the flight of the 25 steps that lead up to the reception. The rooms — there are just 43 of them — are very fancy indeed. 01 is the only hotel room on the Venetian mainland to have its own private swimming pool. Prosaically named room 35 on the first floor, piano nobile in Italian palazzo speak, has proportions that make its grand piano and a ten-seater dining room table look minuscule, thanks to triple-height ceilings and the vast French windows that lead onto a balcony. This is, at 2,045 square feet, the largest suite in Venice. Mine has frescoes, a terrace and a heart-stopping view, and a poured concrete floor. Venice Venice also houses Gallo and Rinaldo's significant art collection, which includes work by the pioneering artists Christo and Jannis Kounellis. • Italy honeymoon ideas: 10 of the most romantic places to stay A treatment room multi-tasks as an installation by the Romanian artist Victoria Zidaru. The ceiling looks like a giant piece of knitting, but with the linen skeins stuffed with fragrant herbs and dried flowers from her garden, changing with the season. There's also the Bitter Club, with a bar that incorporates speakers. So far, cool but very expensive. Rooms start at £500 a night. Those staying at Venice Venice generally arrive by water taxi at the Grand Canal entrance but coming by foot, crossing the Ponte Santi Apostoli and ducking through an alleyway, gives an entirely different experiential hit. A set of minimart-style turnstiles lead into a shop. Freezer containers from the 1970s have branded M'Art sweatshirts while special edition Golden Goose trainers are showcased in what was once a fridge. The shelves have Bialetti moka pots branded with the M'Art logo and the hotel's own toiletries, in tins that look like drink cans and metal toothpaste-style tubes. 'When the da Mosto family lived here, the ground floor was always a trading area so it seemed appropriate,' says Bianca Bonaldi, who curates the art and the shop. 'Venice is a city that's always been commerce-driven.' • Read our full guide to Venice Which is true, and in the restaurant, the 15th-century bricks now have vast, glorious, black and white photos of the Venice fishermen and vegetable sellers who provide the food while the waiters wear striped gondolier tops and chinos. It seems almost effortless, which — in my experience — means that lots of effort has gone into it. And indeed like nearly everything in the hotel, the uniforms have been designed by Gallo and Rinaldo. Unlike most hotels in Venice, it also allows non-guests to come for breakfast, although this costs £55. Dinner too, which is expensive with dishes starting from £25 for risotto and rising to £67 for filetto di manzo alla Rossini, steak with foie gras and truffle. But lunch is a different matter. Most posh restaurants in Venice close between lunch and dinner, but Venice M'Art has an all-day menu, and compared with most places on the Grand Canal, it's refreshingly good value and delicious. Admittedly, you can spend £25 on a seafood lasagne if you want to, but there are plenty of cheaper options. Most of Venice's five-star hotels are now run by luxury hotel groups. Next year Rosewood will open in what was formerly the Bauer and Four Seasons is taking over the Danieli. In contrast, Venice Venice, from its mad name to the Venice M'Art branded moka pots and sense of individuality, feels gloriously, robustly Venetian. They named it twice, Bonaldi says, because one day Gallo and Rinaldo may open hotels in other cities, so there might be a Venice Paris or Venice London. Even though I'm in the middle of a love affair with this hotel, I hope they don't. • 18 of the best affordable hotels in Venice under £200 a night Anyway, back to the terrace, which is packed with Venetians. It's opposite the Rialto, and word has got around that this is now the city's best terrace. And the best value one. You can order an £8 toasted sandwich with a £5 spritz and feast on the same view Canaletto painted in 1729 (plus the bin boats and the vaporettos). There is no barrier between me and the water; something that took much negotiation with the Venice authorities before being allowed but, with the water lapping inches away from me, the result is magical. 'Since we've opened, only one person has fallen in,' Bonaldi says. 'And he wanted to,' she adds. Perhaps he thought he was being cool. But with its mix of luxury and water-fronted groundedness, it's safe to say that this guest will never be as cool as the Venice Venice Hotel.

Why Achraf Hakimi didn't celebrate scoring the opening goal of the Champions League final
Achraf Hakimi scored the opening goal of the Champions League final to put Paris Saint-Germain in front against Inter Milan - but the right back did not celebrate. Hakimi finished Desire Doue's clever cut-back, scoring into an empty net to round off a lovely move from the French side, to give PSG the lead in Munich. However, Hakimi immediately raised his hands in apology to the Inter supporters who were behind Yann Sommer's goal at the Allianz Arena. The 26-year-old Morocco international played for Inter before joining PSG in 2021. He played one season in Italy, but it was a hugely successful one and Inter won Serie A that year. Hakimi was an integral part of Inter's title under Antonio Conte and scored seven goals from right wing back as he was named in the Serie A team of the year. Hakimi is now widely known as the best right back in the world and his goal against Inter means he has scored in the final, semi-final and quarter-final.
