Maya Jama demands ‘more drama and twists than ever' in new Love Island series trailer
MAYA Jama has promised that they'll be "more twists than ever" just weeks before the new Love Island series kicks off. Behind the scenes at 'Love Island HQ', TV presenter Maya is seen meeting with her team, in a fittingly Love Island-themed boardroom, brainstorming for a summer full of twists and turns. 3 Maya Jama has promised more 'twists than ever' to mark 10 years of the show Credit: ITV 3 The presenter has hinted that multiple bombshells will be entering the villa this year Credit: ITV Looking sensational as always, Maya said: "This year Love Island needs something bigger, something bolder, I want ideas." After her 'colleagues' shared their disastrous ideas to spice up the series, Maya stood up and demanded something extra to marks a decade of the show. The TV host insisted: "This year I want more drama, more bombshells, more break-ups, more makeups. "I want more twists, I want more twists than ever." It comes after fans were convinced that there's been a secret shake-up to the show, just weeks before the new series. Fans are patiently awaiting the arrival of the new summer series, but as of yet there have been no promos hinting at the start date. As a result, Love Island fans have speculated that there's been a big shake-up, and that the start date has actually been pushed back. They think the show might be starting on Monday, June 9th. The summer series normally starts a week after the Bank Holiday, which would make it Monday, June 2nd. Love Island host Maya Jama looks stunning in backless dress as she parties with pals But with the lack of Love Island promos, viewers convinced that it has been pushed back. While some fans have been left concerned that hilarious Love Island voiceover Iain Stirling was stepping down from his role. It came as a fake TikTok account posing as Iain claimed the Scots-born star has "quit" the show. With a broken heart emoji, it said Iain was walking away from the UK version of Love Island to focus on the US series instead. In a sombre black post with white writing, it read: "It's been a hectic few months for me and the Love Island team having to go back and forth on my decisions. "Unfortunately I have quit being a voiceover for Love Island UK, however I will still be carrying on for the USA version. "Making this decision wasn't easy and Love Island UK will always have a special spot in my heart, words cannot describe how much love I have for every one of you and I wish best for the next voiceover [sic]." Fans were sent into a spin over the fake message, despite 'Iain's' poor grammar and use of the word "voiceover", instead of "narrator". One Love Island viewer commented: "Noooo won't be the same!" Another added: "Pay the man what he wants, UK Love Island!" Fortunately, The Sun can exclusively reveal Iain, 37, married to fellow TV host Laura Whitmore, WILL be returning to Love Island UK with his witty commentary this summer. Insiders have told us that he is "fully expected" to be back. A TV source says: "There have been rife rumours that Iain is quitting Love Island, but they're just not true. "He's a huge part of the Love Island family and loved by fans. "Iain is fully expected to make a return to the summer series." Maya is getting set to return as the host of the upcoming series of Love Island, which follows hot on the heels of January's All Stars series. Love Island coming soon to ITV2 and ITVX.

Does your man have dreaded lizard skin? How to banish unsightly blemishes and get rid of 'skin Krispies'
In my capacity as self-elected matchmaker, I am always on the lookout for single older men. Functioning examples are, of course, a rarity. They are usually snapped up as soon as they come on the market. I was therefore delighted to be introduced at a business lunch to Iain, a prime specimen with all faculties intact: top job, 50something, cosy and engaging. Yet in the centre of Iain's forehead resided a raised colourless blob about the size of a broad bean. This threw me as I had to put all my mental energy into not letting my gaze wander towards it. What on earth was such a sophisticated man doing in not having this blob attended to? To me, it spoke of Iain's lack of aesthetic judgment and therefore he disqualified himself from my matchmaking books.

Review: Sunshine Spa, Òran Mór: Like an old-school Play for Today
Òran Mór, Glasgow Neil Cooper Three stars The heat is on when Iain meets Zainab after going in search of a place to cool down. Being downtown Marrakesh, however, things don't quite turn out as planned. Iain is a gay man from Manchester who turns up at Zainab's spa. Given the strict rules in Morocco regarding the rights of women, the two shouldn't even be in the same room, let alone be preparing a very special massage. With Iain wheelchair bound and unable to bear to be touched, even that comes with complications. With protests on the streets outside, Zainab is as alive to the power of dissent as Iain is, and once both let their guard down they find a surprising amount of common ground. Simon Jay's new play - the latest in this season's A Play, a Pie and a Pint series of lunchtime plays - is a warm and human take on everyday solidarity across cultures where differences might normally turn into something toxic. Read more Jay's script may have a polemical heart, but the way his characters make a connection in the oddest of circumstances is a neat sleight of hand that endears you to their respective causes rather than leaving the theatre feeling harangued. Presented in association with the Glasgow based Birds of Paradise company, Jay's play is the result of a callout to develop work with a disabled playwright. The result, directed by BOP's artistic director Robert Softley Gale, sees Stephen Smith Taylor make his professional debut as Iain opposite Fatima Jawara as Zainab. As they spar, the duo show off a text that feels rooted in old school plays for today with potential for a sit-com spin-off. A word as well for designer Heather Grace Currie's convincingly realised spa set, which looks like an oasis of calm in a play that may be set several thousand miles away, but which feels familiarly close to home.
