She has flown back to South Africa ahead of her next trip to the Love Island villa while continuing with her presenting duties.
And Maya Jama showed off her abs as she disembarked after landing in Cape Town on Thursday.
The TV star, 28, showed off her taut waist in a beige crop top, which she paired with a comfortable brown tracksuit after stepping off the plane.
She completed her look with dark shades and wore white trainers as she flashed a smile before returning to see the islanders.
Maya wore her long dark locks in loose waves and chose to go makeup-free to show off her pretty features.
Here she is! Maya Jama flashed her abs in a crop top and comfy tracksuit as she landed back in South Africa ahead of Love Island’s next performance at the villa on Thursday
The star also took to her Instagram Story to document her flight back to South Africa while she was joking around with her sunglasses and snapping snaps with the crew.
She looked like she was having a blast taking a selfie with the captain and one with the stewardesses.
During Sunday night’s Aftersun episode, the former BBC Radio 1 DJ promised she would return to the South African villa to create more drama.
Her first front appearance at Aftersun recently proved to be a complete success.
Initial ratings reported a peak of 1.82 million viewers for the show – compared to Love Island’s 1.51 million viewers.
The Bristol native is currently gaining ground in the television world as Love Island bosses gave her 50 per cent more airtime than former presenter Laura.
After just four episodes, Maya has been on the hit TV show for 19 minutes and 55 seconds.
In the same episode of the last series, Laura only had 13 minutes and 26 seconds on the clock.

Ever since Caroline Flack, 40, first began presenting Love Island in 2015, there have been debates about the presenter’s time frame on set.
Laura’s husband, Iain Stirling, 34, even cracked a joke during the Love Island series.
And during the first episode, Iain was heard joking on the voiceover, saying, “She could have just texted me, but we wanted to cover our own expense on our flight back to Cape Town.”
And Maya doesn’t plan to stop there, as Maya has said she intends to visit the new South African mansion as often as possible, according to The Sun.

However, she has also revealed that she will be in London every Sunday to present Aftersun, the Love Island spin-off show.
It follows reports that Maya has taken on Kate Moss’ shoes as the face of Rimmel London.
She is said to have signed a multi-million pound deal to replace the 49-year-old supermodel, who has been in the role for almost 20 years.
While the move shows Maya, who is worth £2million, is making big waves in the industry, some insiders have said the decision could spark an age dispute.
Having fun: She was fooling around with her sunglasses on and taking snaps with the crew on board the plane
LOL: She looked like she was having a blast taking a selfie with the captain and one with the stewardesses
On board: Maya also photographed the stewardesses serving drinks on their return flight to South Africa
A source told The Sun: “Rimmel is one of the biggest beauty brands with a very British core, so Maya is showing that she’s their flagship, that she’s the it girl of the moment.
“They needed a big name to replace Kate who had already retired from the role.
“Rimmel believes Maya ticks that box — and they hope she can appeal to a younger and more diverse audience as well. A backlash is expected as Maya is almost half Kate’s age, but the company is happy with its decision. It’s a dream come true for Maya.”
At the time, Web asked Rimmel and a Maya representative for comment.
