Olivia Attwood set to be the new Maya Jama as she lands new role as the for host of reality show

Olivia Attwood Dack has revealed that she has landed a new role as host for a brand new reality show for ITV.

The former Love Island star announced the news on Instagram with a slew of behind the scenes snaps in Greece. In the caption she wrote: “Guys…….. I have been keeping a secret. BTS from my brand new @itv reality show… you’re not ready (I don’t actually think I am)” 

According to the Mail Online the series will see Olivia host the reality series where “she will tame unruly men who behave badly in relationships.” Olivia has come far from her Love Island days and landing a new role as reality TV host has got fans comparing her to current Love Island host Maya Jama. 

Olivia Attwood rose to fame on the third series of Love Island and reached the final with Chris Hughes. The couple went on to have their own reality TV show ‘Chris and Olivia: Crakin On’ but ended after one series due to the couple splitting up. She then went on to have a reality series with husband footballer Bradely Dack following the days up to their wedding. 

Olivia has become a regular panellist on Loose Women, hosted a documentary series ‘The Price of Perfection’ and is the host of the successful ‘So wrong it’s right’ podcast.  She has an estimated net worth of £1.2 million but how does she compare to Maya Jama? 

Maya Jama has had a successful TV career since she started in the industry and landed her first role in 2014. She is still very much the ‘It Girl’ presenter of the moment. Her first roles included covering the 2014 FIFA World Cup, the 2017 Pre-Brit Awards Party and was a guest panellist on Loose Women. Maya was also host of her own BBC Radio 1  show aptly named Maya Jama on Fridays and Saturdays. 

Then in 2022 Maya Jama was announced as the new host of Love Island taking over from Laura Whitmore. She has also launched a fashion line with online retailer PrettyLittleThing, launched her own range of face masks ‘MIJ Masks’ and is the brand ambassador for luxury fashion brand Dolce & Gabbana.

Although she isn’t married yet, Maya has been dating (on and off) rapper Stormzy for several years. She has an estimated net worth of £3 million. 

Olivia Attwood’s career has skyrocketed over the past six years since leaving Love Island. However Maya Jama’s career isn't slowing down anytime soon so Olivia has a bit of catching up to do.
