“Landing a presenting gig alongside Peter Crouch on his BBC primetime TV show Save Our Summer was massive, and it’s just the start.”
Maya’s also enjoying single life, having split from boyfriend of four years and grime rapper Stormzy in 2019.
She says she’s “not actually looking”, and admits she’s nervous about her next big relationshiop.
“It makes me nervous [about] who I’m going to be with next,” Maya told The Evening Standard, “because if they aren’t in the public eye already, maybe they’re going to be brought into [it].”
Maya’s carved out a considerable social media following, and has been lauded for her no-nonsense approach to online trolls.
One recently called her a “sl*t” on Instagram, to which Maya commented “pr*ck” on one of their photos.
Sharing a screenshot of her comeback, Maya laughed: “If you can’t beat ’em…”
Others targeted her over her wardrobe for Save Our Summer.
“I found it ridiculous,” Maya told MailOnline.
