High-Profile Reality Show Role Confirmed
Maya Jama, a well-known presenter and entrepreneur, has been confirmed as a participant in the upcoming series of 'Celebrity Traitors'. The announcement, made via a teaser trailer released Saturday morning, places Jama among a cast that includes Jerry Hall, actor Richard Grant, and comedian Romesh Ranganathan. This move into the 'Traitors' castle follows months of industry chatter and speculation regarding the show's high-profile signings. Jama's prior engagement with reality television includes hosting 'Love Island' and appearing on 'The Masked Singer'.
"Maya Jama and Jerry Hall lead the stars taking part in BBC series as they join legendary actor Richard Grant and comedian Romesh Ranganathan."
The broadcaster dropped the initial teaser on Saturday, with subsequent social media posts from Jama herself, featuring a Netflix logo and a branded mug, further fueling fan anticipation. Her involvement has prompted her to make a public plea to fans, though the specific nature of this request remains undisclosed.
Personal Life Echoes Public Role
Jama's professional commitments have coincided with increased attention on her personal life, particularly her relationship with footballer Rúben Dias. The pair, who met at the EMA Awards in 2024, have been the subject of numerous reports detailing their romance, including alleged considerations by Jama to relocate to Manchester to be closer to Dias. Their relationship, initially kept private, became more public through social media, with a rare loved-up snap shared on Instagram in October 2025.

Jama's media career began with an early interest in drama, having auditioned for Channel 4's 'Skins' at age 15. Her path has seen her present shows across various networks, including ITV, Channel 4, and Channel 5, and host her own show on Radio 1.
