Host Maya Jama shared her most memorable moment on the show, as she said: "On the first Love Island: All Stars series when Callum came into the Villa and his ex Molly was the first

bombshell, that was a big moment. But also I love Movie Night as it is always full of drama!"

She added: "I love it when the show is live for the final because not only do you get the energy from the crowd, but it feels so much more personal talking to the viewers.

‌ "This is a moment we have all been waiting for, so it's nice to feel we are all there together rooting for the Islanders."
