The brand new Love Island host, 28, has been enjoying a well-deserved break with her family members and has been documenting the festive season for her 2.4million followers on Instagram.

They first stood next to an unidentified relative and made a hand gesture, with Maya wearing a bright orange and purple cardigan and skirt and Omar wearing a gray tracksuit.
She looked glamorous for the special occasion, with her raven locks behind her ears and a full face of makeup.
Another snap shared by the TV beauty showed the siblings and another younger family member named Che, all wearing eye masks from her brand MIJ Masks.
She captioned the moment “family pampering” and then took a selfie video in a mirror showing them enjoying the relaxing session.

“Guess who’s going to the football tonight!” Maya told fans while wearing a West Ham football shirt.
She asks her brother, “Wait, who are you supporting Omar?”, who, like Che, is wearing a jersey for the Swedish national soccer team. “And I’m West Ham!” calls Maya.
Maya grew up in Bristol but her mother Sadie is of Swedish descent while her father Hussein is of Somali descent.
Her father, Hussein Jama, has previously spoken openly about how being in and out of prison has negatively impacted his relationship with the TV personality.
The star has been open in the past about her father Hussein spending time in and out of prison since she was just two and her younger brother Omar was a baby.

In an interview with The Sun, Hussein has revealed how his stints in prison meant Maya’s mum Sadie followed through on her word to leave him if he didn’t stay out of trouble – while saying his famous daughter Maya, 26, has done this Stop him.
Hussein told the publication, “I remember when she was a teenager, I had just got out of jail and she was at my mother’s house, so I came over and said, ‘Do you want to hug your father?'” She said, ” I don’t want to talk to you dad.” I hoped it was a teenage thing and it would pass.
Bar worker Hussein, who told The Sun he was jailed for various crimes while his daughter was growing up in Bristol, had an emotional reunion with his daughter on the 2017 Channel 5 documentary When Dads Kill.

Hussein said he was upset by the show’s title as he had never murdered anyone, but he still hoped it would lead to an improved relationship with his daughter, who is a successful broadcaster.
Maya’s fun celebrations don’t come long before she heads to South Africa for Love Island’s winter series.
For fans who can’t wait much longer for the next series, it won’t be long now as it is reported to start on Monday January 16th.
The date coincides with Blue Monday, which is considered the most depressing day of the year.
With Winter Love Island not airing for three years, the show bosses have pulled out all the stops to support the fresh islanders on their quest for love and romance.
The villa is the largest of any series to date, has a huge pool and is surrounded by palm trees and normally costs around £430 per night per room.
Earlier this week, Love Island released two new teasers for the upcoming ninth series in South Africa.
One of the clips shows Maya Jama preparing to host her first series of the hit ITV2 show.
