Maya Jama and KSI tipped to front huge hit Saturday night shows after having major success

ITV bosses are poised to sign Maya Jama and KSI to star in their biggest Saturday night shows. 

Love Island presenter Maya, 30, is set to return to the panel of The Masked Singer for the seventh series after she taking over from Rita Ora on the latest season. 

She shared the panel with Mo Gilligan, Jonathan Ross and Davina McCall as well as a line up of celebrity guests. 

Meanwhile Britain’s Got Talent producers are set to offer KSI, 31, big money to rejoin Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and Bruno Tonioli as a judge next year on the hit series.

KSI proved to be a hit with ITV viewers after the BGT launch episode last week was watched by a mᴀssive 5.5million people.  

A TV insider has told The Sun: ‘ITV realise they’ve got a pair of superstars shining on their shows — and they want to ensure they stay there.

‘Maya went down a storm with viewers on the last series of The Masked Singer, even though she had big shoes to fill taking over from Rita Ora.

‘KSI was also a breath of fresh air on BGT on Saturday. He’ll help attract a much younger audience.’

KSI has a huge reach across social media with 55million followers across his platforms many being younger viewers. 

MailOnline have contacted Britain’s Got Talent and The Masked Singer representatives for comment. 

The new season of BGT is set for a huge format change as it will be the longest series ever with four months of episodes.

Rather than its normal start date of April, it kicked off on February 22 with episodes airing each Saturday night, replacing the traditional nightly episodes.

The live semi-finals – which usually air nightly over the course of one week – will now be shown weekly on Saturdays also.

A large chunk of the auditions have also been filmed in Blackpool rather than the London Palladium.

Maya added height to her frame with a pair of heels and let her locks fall loose down her shoulders for the evening.

The star shared a pH๏τo of herself posing outside the villa and another enjoying a drink after Gabby Allen and Casey O’Gorman were crowned the winners.

Alongside the snaps, shared to her Instagram, she wrote: ‘Another one ☝️ thank you. Love Island All Stars Live Final – so much fun. Congratulations to the winners!

‘All the islanders for making it such an amazing series & ofcourse every single person behind the scenes working endlessly to turn a show around every night, you the real MVPs.’

Gabby, 33, was left shocked to discover that a £50,000 cash prize was involved as part of the winning deal on the All Stars edition of the programme.

Though Maya told the Islanders at the beginning of the show that they were in the chance of winning the huge sum, Gabby said she had no idea.

It is standard that the winners of Love Island take home a £50,000 cash prize but Gabby admitted she didn’t think the Islanders returning for the All Stars version would.
