Love Island host Maya Jama was quick to insist she was only joking after she made a comment about the number of people Islander Ciaran Davies had slept with

Maya Jama found herself in hot water for a moment when she made a sex joke about Ciaran Davies.

The Love Island presenter was hosting spin-off show Aftersun on Sunday (June 30) when she joked that the Islander could have had sex with his cousin. Maya spoke to panelists Amy Hart and Made in Chelsea star Sam Thompson about Ciaran’s claim he’d slept with 120 people.

Ciaran had revealed his bodycount to current partner Nicole Samuel. Sam said: “You’d lose count! Unless he’s got an Excel spreadsheet. How does he know it’s 120?” Amy said: “The thing is though, they’re both from Wales, 20 minutes away from each other. So they might go out clubbing and all 120 might be there.”

Maya apologised for her raspy voice during the show, insisting Glastonbury was to blame but that she was committed to getting through it. The most recent stars dumped, Harriett Blackmore and Ronnie Vint, also appeared in the studio.

Asked whether they knew they would be causing trouble, Ronnie said he did and added: “I started off eyes on Jess, then I see this one in the kitchen and it’s dangerous.” Discussing the love triangle, he added. “I hit a big speedbump and Harriett came and picked me up.”

Harriett said her journey in the villa was “very up and down” but that she and Ronnie had “such a good connection from the beginning”. But a clip of Ronnie kissing Tiffany Leighton was played and it seems Harriett wasn’t aware the pair kissed.

Ronnie covered Harriett’s eyes as the video played and he insisted: “I’m a changed man. You have to learn from your mistakes. I’m happy”

When Maya asked Harriett how she felt about seeing that footage, she responded: “Obviously I didn’t expect that, but we’re in a good place now. It’s all in the past.”
