Power couple 'ITV bosses love Maya and she has been an amazing asset to Love Island. She is hot property in TV at the moment, so it will be a case of her weighing up the opportunities.' It comes as The Sun revealed that Maya has won the part of a gangster's wife in Guy Ritchie's hit Netflix series The Gentlemen, which she described as her 'dream role'.

"During those times, when I was living at my family member's house, it wasn't a very nice environment. No gas, no electricity, and washing at Urban Outfitters in their sinks. 'We didn't have gas sometimes, so it would either be a kettle job or I would just go to the toilet and flannel it up. I was in the trenches for a bit.' Away from her life as a telly star, Maya confirmed that she was dating Portugal star Ruben, 28, in May.

On Now You Know, which aired in April on My5 and YouTube, she added: 'I have curated this lovely little life for myself and my friends.'

Jeremy Clarkson issues apology as he shares worrying update on Diddly Squat
Clarkson's Farm series four teased in Prime Video trailer Jeremy Clarkson apologised for his "dishevelled state" during an impassioned address at Hawkstone's VIP Summer Party yesterday (July 14) in the grounds of his Farmer's Dog pub. He disclosed that farming life has proved so challenging that his trusted colleague Kaleb Cooper was compelled to miss the spectacular event entirely. Harvesting has recently commenced at Diddly Squat - and according to Jeremy, it's destined to be the "worst" on record. Kaleb's brand new combine harvester suffered a breakdown within just 15 minutes of beginning operations - and with so much work remaining, he was obliged to abandon the demonstration he'd planned to showcase a new variant of his beloved Hawkstone beverage, cider. "We got the combine fixed and then - and this is true for the first time in four months - it rained," Jeremy lamented whilst making excuses for his co-star's non-attendance. "That soaked all the oats that we were supposed to be harvesting, so I rushed over here, and he sent his apologies. He's simply waiting for the moisture levels to drop so that we can get cracking!" Jeremy Clarkson revealed there is a crisis at Diddly Squat Farm (Image: Getty) He further elaborated: "We know we're in for a shocking harvest this year - if there are any farmers here, they would tell you the same thing. Last year was the second worst recorded ever, and we think this year's going to be even worse because it just hasn't rained," reports the Express. The Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? host subsequently expressed gratitude to the audience for supporting British agriculture during difficult periods by purchasing Hawkstone beer, and quipped that any establishment which refused should be "set on fire". Kaleb Cooper was "missing: from the event and has been struggling with harvesting (Image: Getty) The crowd burst into fits of giggles as he joked: "If you go in a pub and they're selling Peroni, they're backing Italian farming - and if they're Italian, that's fine, but if they're not, that's just not on, and we should set fire to the place!" Despite his agricultural gripes, Jeremy Clarkson assured fans that Hawkstone beer was thriving, thanks to their unquenchable thirst for ale, saying it was going "from strength to strength". At the VIP Summer Party, Jeremy also introduced the Hawkstone Choir, described as "bona fide farmers who can genuinely sing", and presented a "banned advert" which failed to pass advertising standards. Jeremy shares a rare announcement confirming it was likely to be the worst harvest on record (Image: PA) Clarkson humorously confessed his bafflement at the ban, but the audience quickly understood why when they heard the choir's expletive-laden praise of the beer: "F*** me, it's good." The event was further enlivened by a live gig from the Wurzels, a legendary Somerset band with nearly six decades of history and chart-topping hits like Combine Harvester, The Tractor Song, and I Am A Cider Drinker. Clarkson's Farm is available to stream on Amazon Prime.

ITV confirm Who Wants to be a Millionaire future with Jeremy Clarkson announcement
Jeremy Clarkson is poised to return for more episodes of ITV's Who Wants to be a Millionaire, as well as a brand new spin-off show. The star of Clarkson's Farm has been confirmed by bosses to host the UK premiere of Millionaire Hot Seat, in addition to an extended run of Who Wants to be a Millionaire and Celebrity Who Wants to be a Millionaire. Millionaire Hot Seat is a high-speed version of the global Millionaire format, demanding players to think strategically and respond under pressure as they race against the clock and each other. The show has enjoyed long-standing ratings success in Australia, with over 2,500 episodes broadcasted. A variation on the classic Millionaire format, it features six contestants competing for a chance to win big, but there's no room for hesitation. The rules are straightforward, but the gameplay is relentless. Contestants sit in a queue around the eponymous Hot Seat, but only the person in the Hot Seat can face Jeremy and answer questions on the Million Pound Money Ladder. The contestant must answer correctly to ascend the ladder, but if they answer incorrectly, they're out and the top prize decreases. If they pass, they remain in the game, but move to the back of the line and may not get another turn. If a passed question goes to the next player, the contestant must answer, Get it right, they stay. Get it wrong, they're out, reports Gloucestershire Live. Only the top prize remaining on the ladder can be won, and the player tackling that question must answer it correctly to take home the cash. Filming for the UK version is set to kick off this November, with a UK launch planned for 2026. ITV has also commissioned 19 new episodes of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, including seven celebrity specials. Katie Rawcliffe, ITV's Director of Entertainment and Daytime Commissioning, said: "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire has reached 18 million viewers on ITV so far this year alone." She added that commissioning a new spin-off format to capitalise further on the brand's success was an obvious decision, especially given the success of Millionaire Hot Seat in other territories. Matthew Worthy, Co-CEO of Stellify Media, said: "It is an honour to produce Millionaire for ITV." He described Millionaire Hot Seat as the main show's cheeky younger sibling, promising more Jeremy, more money-ladder moments, but with a whole new tone, pace, and feel.
