Maya Jama turns heads in a white string bikini as she shares a behind-the-scenes glimpse at her time in Mallorca for Love Island filming
Maya Jama turned heads as she shared a behind-the-scenes glimpse at her time in Mallorca while filming for Love Island. The ITV star, 30, splits her time between the London and the Spanish island while hosting the series. Taking to her Instagram Stories on Wednesday, Maya wowed in a tiny white string bikini as she posed for a sizzling selfie. She then shared a snap of a dreamy table on a balcony that overlook the stunning views of the Spanish landscape. This was followed by another photo of some delicious sushi and wine with the ITV crew. This year, the TV show host is drawing on a wardrobe of vintage pieces pulled from clothes designer archives. So far, Maya has worn a vintage Versace swimsuit and a 1998 Dolce & Gabbana dress. It comes after Maya's rumoured romance with Ruben Dias was finally confirmed, following the pair's public display of affection at KSI's Baller League event in April. The presenter and the footballer, 28, are thought to have been secretly dating for several months after Maya first caught his eye when they met at the European Music Awards (EMAs) in November. She has since been seen at multiple football games over the last few months, watching Dias live in action for Man City. In April, the pair were pictured for the first time together kissing and cuddling at the football event, held at the Copper Box Arena, in a video captured by The Sun. The footage 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 publication of that night: '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.' So far, Maya has worn a vintage Versace swimsuit and a 1998 Dolce & Gabbana dress (pictured in Dolce & Gabbana) It comes after Maya's rumoured romance with Ruben Dias was finally confirmed, following the pair's public display of affection at KSI's Baller League event in April (Ruben pictured in April) 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. MailOnline has contacted Maya's representatives for comment. Their appearance at the Baller League came just one day after she supported Ruben at Wembley 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.

The best hanging egg chairs, tried and tested for your garden
Hanging egg chairs are a fantastic addition to any garden furniture setup. Their curved cocoon effect brings comfort and a relaxing gentle sway, without compromising on sturdiness. While an egg chair's design is important, as it will become a focal point in your garden, it also needs to withstand inclement weather and the outdoors over time. 'Typically, the best material for the woven structure of an egg chair is polyethylene (PE) resin rattan,' says Ethan Fox, furniture expert at Furniture World. 'It's a durable and weather-resistant material that closely mimics the appearance of natural rattan. Choosing powder-coated steel or aluminium for the frame of the egg chair prevents rusting and ensures that the structure doesn't weaken over time.' Egg chairs are expensive investments, costing anywhere from £160 at B&Q to nearly £500 from Cox and Cox. With this in mind, I tested and reviewed this year's best hanging egg chairs, along with answering some frequently asked questions. The best hanging egg chairs: At a glance How to choose the best hanging egg chairs When choosing a hanging egg chair, remember that they're bigger and heavier than you might think. Made primarily from iron or steel, the typical circular base has a wide diameter of around 100cm, the vertical supporting pole is at least 180cm, and the seat's ergonomic shape means it usually arrives as a single item. Measuring your home's doorways before delivery is a sensible idea as the UK's standard internal door width is 76.2 cm. Also check whether the chair arrives in separate parts or packed into one giant cardboard box. Some brands have measuring guidelines to help with this. Similarly, the chair's intended outdoor position needs sufficient floor space and enough of a circumference for the swinging motion. Barker and Stonehouse, for example, suggests at least 60 cm of clearance around the chair to avoid collisions. Keep in mind that grass is ill-advised due to ground damage and possible deterioration of the frame. Stone or concrete surfaces, like a patio, are your best bet. If you're looking for more outdoor inspiration, take a look at our guides to the best garden chairs, parasols, fire pits and gas BBQs here. How we test hanging egg chairs Most egg chairs follow a similar assembly process: a circular metal base, a curved vertical rod, and a high strength metal spring from which the chair hangs. They can also be rather heavy and cumbersome. I noted the delivery method for each egg chair, the heaviness of the various parts, how long it took to unpack and assemble the chair as a single person, and if the instructions were clear and easy to follow. Once assembled, I did some serious sitting. I judged the cushion padding and support, whether the seat rim dug into my thighs, and if the chair's angle strained my neck or shoulders. I checked if it felt sturdy enough to hold my weight, and whether the frame stayed stable as I rocked. I spent a significant amount of time in each chair to ensure the shape and support offered was comfortable enough for a long afternoon. Handily, the typical British summer also kindly gifted me a few rainstorms to assess the durability and water resistance of each chair's frame, seat and cushions. Taking all that into account, these are the ones worth a spot on your patio.

All opinions are based on independent expert opinion and our hands-on testing. Visit our Who We Are page to learn more. The best hanging egg chairs of 2025 1. Best Buy Hanging Egg Chair: Cox & Cox Teardrop Hanging Chair Cox & Cox is a firm favourite among Telegraph garden writers for its thoughtfully designed garden furniture. This elegant teardrop-shaped chair draws its inspiration from Rohe Noordwolde, a Dutch company known for its iconic mid-century rattan pieces. It has a star-like faux rattan weave and a braided border edge. The brand's logo also appears on the curved pole and cushion, an attentive detail that elevates the overall aesthetic. Minimal individually wrapped components and a pre-constructed base make assembly nice and simple, though I needed to tighten the pole bolts more than expected to avoid any rocking. It took about one and a half hours to complete. It has the densest cushion I tried, sitting in this chair feels like sinking into a cloud. The frame is sufficiently deep to properly pull you in, and I had no aches or discomfort after hours sitting inside. Though the rattan weave holds up well in the summer rain, I recommend using a breathable cover during prolonged wet weather to ensure longevity. Store the water repellent cushioning inside over winter, too. Key specifications Dimensions: H 186cm, W 105cm, D 105cm Number of people it seats: One Accompanying accessories: Seat cushion, headrest cushion Chair weight: Unspecified Max capacity: 150kg Materials: Anthracite powder-coated iron frame, polyethylene (PE) wicker chair, polyester cushions 2. Best Value Hanging Egg Chair: George Rattan Hanging Egg Chair This egg chair from George at Asda has a bright faux rattan in a simple grid-style pattern. It's really easy to assemble too, with clear instructions and big diagrams. Rather than a circular base, the chair has four legs splaying out from a central pole, somewhat similar to a desk chair. I particularly like the pop-out button mechanism on each leg, it's a welcome change from screws and bolts, and an easier method of construction. It's not the most attractive base, however, requiring a fair amount of floor space to accommodate its 95cm diameter. That said, the chair appears relatively compact from a distance, so it shouldn't dominate smaller gardens. Some screws were still required for the hand-woven poly rattan seat construction and it took some effort to correctly align and bolt together its three sections. At one hour, this was one of the quicker build times. Once assembled, the chair hangs at a comfortable height from the ground. The central pole's curvature was a little too shallow meaning the back of the chair tended to bump against it. But simply turning enough so the pole is at your side fixes this issue. This egg chair doesn't come with a cover either, so would benefit from indoor storage during the winter. Key specifications 3. Best Weatherproof Hanging Egg Chair: Barker and Stonehouse Castello Hanging Chair With a 105cm diameter, this circular egg chair from British furniture retailer, Barker and Stonehouse, has one of the widest seats I tested. Its three main parts – a circular base, support rod and woven basket seat – arrived individually wrapped in clingfilm and protective paper rather than inside a box. They were surprisingly heavy too, particularly the curved rod that needed to be slightly raised while screwing it into place. This made construction more of a challenge than expected, with the provided small diagrams also proving a little tricky to decipher. To avoid spending one and a quarter hours decoding and manhandling like me, note Barker and Stonehouse offers different tiers of delivery, including assembly on arrival for £49. Once built, this is a wonderfully stable egg chair, and I had no qualms about swinging back and forth amidst the plush UV-proof cushioning. I particularly appreciated the open spaces on either side of the chair's outer frame, too – perfect for reaching outward to grab a drink or a book. Key specifications Dimensions: H 186cm, W 105cm, D 129cm Number of people it seats: One Accompanying accessories: Seat cushion, headrest cushion Weight: 12.9kg Max capacity: 120kg Materials: Polyethylene wicker seat, anti-rust iron frame, UV-proof cushions 4. Best Rattan Hanging Egg Chair: Atkin and Thyme Karla Rattan Egg Chair Atkin and Thyme has an array of egg chairs to choose from, and this Karla Rattan design forms part of a wider collection (think matching side table, sun lounger and eight seat dining set). It's perhaps my favourite design, too; a delicate teardrop shape with a wicker weave pattern that gradually shifts in size. Construction was straightforward, though after initially bolting the two halves of the circular base together, I found the chair rocked too much for comfort. I quickly learnt not to underestimate the importance of tightening – and re-tightening – bolts before sitting down. Its generous and densely padded cushions are water-repellant (and dried off quickly after rain) and UV resistant. The chair itself is also designed to withstand outdoor conditions all year round due to the polymer frame and aluminium base. A note on delivery considerations: the extremely large box (H101cm x W116cm x D71cm) barely fit into my hallway, nor would it squeeze through an internal doorway, so having direct garden access would be beneficial here. At time of writing, this design is sadly sold out. The good news? You can sign up for notifications and be the first to know when it's back in stock. Key specifications Dimensions: H 210cm, W 105cm, D 105cm Number of people it seats: One Accompanying accessories: Seat cushion, headrest cushion Weight: Unspecified Max capacity: Unspecified Materials: Aluminium frame, polymer EverWeave, polyester EcoCore water repellent cushions 5. Best Foldable Hanging Egg Chair: The Range Single Hanging Chair This foldable egg chair from The Range was delivered in the narrowest box by far. This made sense when I discovered that the synthetic rattan seat's seven segments cleverly expand out in concertina fashion. It's comfortable if somewhat shallow, while its attractive dark grey cushioning is made from a type of fabric that's resistant to both water and fading, making it a solid option British summers. A double chain connects it to the solid support pole, meaning you can spin about 360 degrees, should you wish. The frame is just as large as other egg chairs too, with four legs branching out from the pedestal base at a diameter of 103cm. I was a little perturbed when a few parts didn't properly fit together during the assembly process, but receiving a replacement was quick and easy. Best of all, the chair's foldable nature makes it a fantastic option for anyone needing to store it in smaller spaces during the winter. Key specifications Dimensions: H195 x W103 x D100cm Number of people it seats: One Any accompanying accessories: Seat cushion, headrest cushion Weight: 23kg Materials: Synthetic rattan chair; powder-coated steel frame; olefin cushions 6. Best Outdoor Hanging Egg Chair: Wayfair Yaheetech Garden Swing Chair with Stand The teardrop shape of Wayfair's Yaheetech chair is eye-catching, with the web-like weave casting a rather delicate shadow pattern when the sun falls on it. Choose between two colourways: a white frame with grey cushions (although this may be too bright for some gardens) and a black frame with white cushions. The chair arrived securely packaged inside a cardboard box, with all metal frame parts wrapped in both thick foam and cling film. Clear instructions made assembly speedy and issue-free, taking about 45 minutes from start to finish. Unlike some egg chairs, there are no clippable feet provided for the base, meaning it's more likely to scratch. After a few weeks outside, I also noticed some tidemarks on the white mesh, no doubt from rainfall and general garden dirt. Luckily, it's easily wiped down with a damp cloth, and it's also the only chair on our list that comes with a waterproof and dustproof outer cover included. Key specifications 7. Best Budget Hanging Egg Chair: B&Q Maeria Dark Grey Metal Hanging Egg Chair £160 Buy Now Price at B&Q This B&Q egg chair is a great budget option, once it's built. Following the tiny instructional diagrams alongside an array of tightly packaged bolts and screws gave me trouble and a few broken fingernails. It took two hours, the longest of all tested. The frame's U-shaped base is also too wide to easily fit through a doorway, so don't make my mistake and construct it in the kitchen before attempting to carry it outside. However, the chair is solid and stable, with a useful strap that clips onto the stand making it easier to sit in and preventing unwanted movement. The large gaps on either side of the seat take some getting used to, but actually contribute to the slimline aesthetics of the hanging pod-style chair. While taller than others, the seat cushion isn't as densely padded as many. But for the price, it's an excellent egg chair that should last the distance in your garden. Key specifications Hanging egg chair FAQs Are hanging egg chairs comfortable? Absolutely. As furniture expert Ethan Fox explains: 'Hanging egg chairs are specifically designed for comfort due to their unique ergonomic design, which supports the alignment of the spine and neck to reduce injuries.' The T-shaped cushioning provided with most egg chairs (a seat, two armrests and a headrest) means you're able to sit comfortably for long periods of time, while the gentle swinging motion and general sense of weightlessness should induce calm and relaxation. How much weight can a hanging egg chair hold? While each chair's exact weight capacity differs, the majority of single seated egg chairs can safely hold up to 350 pounds (158kg) of weight if they are designed correctly and made using high-quality materials. Can hanging egg chairs be left outside? In theory, yes – but it's not recommended to leave egg chairs outside or uncovered long term, as this can limit the lifespan. If using a waterproof cover, it needs to be breathable so that moisture doesn't get trapped and cause the metal frame to rust or mould to develop on the synthetic materials. Ideally, bring any cushioned seating attachments indoors when not in use, to protect from rain, sunlight and dust. How best to incorporate a hanging egg chair into a pre-existing garden design? 'With more people treating their gardens as a 'fifth room', there's now a real shift toward designing outdoor spaces with distinct zones, whether it's for dining, lounging, or even working from home,' John Foster, exterior installation expert at Hillarys, explains. 'A hanging chair can become a key feature within one of these zones, especially when placed under a pergola or awning, where it feels naturally integrated into the overall layout. ' Foster also suggests considering the size, layout, and orientation of your garden. 'In a smaller space, positioning the chair in a corner or against a wall helps avoid overwhelming the space. You can use surrounding plants or existing structures, like trellises or fences, to naturally frame the chair and create a cosy, secluded spot.' 'In a larger garden, you have more flexibility: the chair can then become a focal point, either near social areas or tucked away for a private retreat.'

I used B&M & Primark bargains to turn my balcony into a tropical paradise – I also made it super private with a £10 buy
A MOTHER has revealed that she hasn't got a garden, so gave her balcony a total transformation without breaking the bank. Whilst she was pregnant, Victoria Wright, who is better known as 'Vickaboox' online, nabbed a haul of bargain buys from B&M and Primark to give her outside space a mega makeover. 2 Not only was she able to add colour and style to the balcony, but thanks to a £10 buy from B&M, she was able to turn it into a tropical paradise with much more privacy. The 29-year-old content creator, who now has a baby boy called Christopher, took to social media to share her balcony transformation, leaving many totally stunned. The mum-of-one who lives in a flat, showed off her 'basic' balcony and said: 'Let's take our balcony from boring, basic, plain, crusty, dusty to year of the bad B, not the sad B, cocktail in hand vibes and of course we've done it on the cheap using everything from Primark and B&M.' The influencer then revealed the step-by-step process of the balcony overhaul, as she added: 'So first of all, we cleaned the balcony…then once everything was clean, we laid out our new outdoor rug - this one was on sale in B&M for £12. 'We also got some reed screening from B&M on sale for £10, just to give that tropical vibe and also for a bit more privacy.' Victoria attached the reed screening with cable ties to ensure it was 'nice and secure' and explained that when they move, they can remove it easily without any damage. To then give the balcony a bit of colour, she added £1 hanging pots she bought from Primark and planted some flowers. Following this, she accessorised the space with cheap LED fairy lights and tea light holders. Thrilled with her balcony's new look, Victoria beamed: 'I think this looks super fun, super colourful, also deposit friendly because we rent, so we didn't have to change anything or make any dramatic changes. 'Just added a little bit of life and a bit of colour. I love it.' I don't have a garden so made a 10p paddling pool on my balcony - it was brilliant but my downstairs neighbours will never forgive me The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @ vickaboox, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up 11,700 likes and 70 comments. 8 must-have plants to brighten up your garden Nick Hamilton owner of Barnsdale Gardens has shared his favourite plants and flowers you should consider adding to your garden, borders and pots. Tricyrtis A spectacular plant that gives a real exotic feel to any garden with its orchid-like, spotted flowers giving the impression that this plant should be tender but it is 'as tough as old boots!'. Penstemon I love this plants genus of because most will flower all summer and autumn. They'll grow in sun or semi-shade in a well drained soil and produce a non-stop display of tubular flowers in an array of colours and colour combination to suit all tastes. Luzula sylvatica 'Marginata' With the evergreen leaves edged with yellow it's great asset is that it will grow in sun or shade in any type of soil and is great as groundcover in the hardest spot to fill - dry shade. Eryngium x zabelii 'Big Blue' A stunning, nectar-rich plant that will feed the beneficial insects in your garden. Leave the flowerheads once they have turned brown because they look stunning with winter frost and snow, extending the plant's interest period. Sarcococca hookeriana 'Winter Gem' If you need winter scent then look no further than this compact, evergreen shrub. The scent is stunning and the evergreen leaves create an excellent backdrop for the summer flowers. Cornus sanguinea 'Anny's Winter Orange' A dwarf version of 'Midwinter Fire' the very colourful stems create a stunning winter display, particularly on sunny days. Rosa 'Noisette Carnee' A very well-behaved climbing rose that is perfect for training over an arch, pergola or gazebo. The small, 'noisette' flowers are blush-pink and produce the most amazing clove scent constantly from June to November. Sanguisorba hakusanensis 'Lilac Squirrel' I've never seen a squirrel with a drooping, shaggy lilac tail, but this variety will give your garden an unusual and different look throughout summer. It does need a moisture retentive soil but will grow in sun or semi-shade. Social media users were stunned by Victoria's balcony makeover and many eagerly raced to the comments to express this. One person said: 'Omg I love it.' Another added: 'Looks so cute.' A third commented: 'Looks beautiful.' "Never thought I'd have balcony envy!' How to save money at B&M Shoppers have saved hundreds of pounds a year by using B&M's scanner app. The scanner lets you see if an item's price is cheaper than advertised on the shop floor label. Products that are typically discounted are seasonal items and old stock that B&M is trying to shift. The app is free to download off the B&M Stores mobile app via Google Play or the Apple App Store. According to one ex-B&M manager, you'll want to visit your local branch at 10am on a Wednesday too. Here's how you can join the B&M bargain hunt: Download the B&M app for free on any smartphone with an App Store or Google Play. Once you've installed it on your device, click on the option labelled "more" on the bottom, right-hand side of the app home page. You'll then find an option that says "barcode scanner". Click on this and you'll open a camera screen. Use the camera to hover over the barcode of the product you wish to check. If the price comes up as lower, take it to the cash desk and it will automatically scan at the lower price. You don't need to sign up to the B&M app to use the barcode scanner.
