Maya’s first stint as the host of Aftersun proved a resounding success, with early ratings reporting a peak of 1.82 million viewers for the show – compared to Love Island’s 1.51 million viewers.
“Spin-off shows are certainly not intended to be a main event. They sit alongside the main show to use additional footage, drive narrative or increase noise around a programme,” a source told The Sun.
“So no one ever expects the sister show to outnumber the main show. Maya proves to be the shot in the arm Love Island really needs right now.

Maya is currently gaining ground in the television world as Love Island bosses gave her 50 per cent more airtime than former presenter Laura, 37.
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.
Maya became the presenter of this year’s Love Island after Laura left the show shortly after three series due to travel time now that she’s a new mum.
It has been hinted that the producers plan to keep Maya on the show for a while as she “is a major TV force to be reckoned with now”.
Bombshell: The presenter has donned a number of racy outfits to showcase the show
Industry expert Jonathan Shalit told the Chron: “Maya is simply fantastic – a true star and a household name now.
“She nailed the role of Love Island presenter and showed herself to be an A-list global star.
“She’s a huge TV force to be reckoned with now.”
Meanwhile, a source added that the “electric” launch was stuff “a marketer’s dreams are made of” and will no doubt see plenty of people rushing to catch up on the ITV2 show.
