Love Island narrator Iain Stirling gives verdict on Maya Jama after she replaced his wife Laura Whitmore as host

LOVE Island narrator Iain Stirling has given his take on new host Maya Jama - after she replaced his wife in the role.

The Scot, 34, was quizzed on Wednesday's Good Morning Britain after former Radio 1 DJ Maya, 28, burst onto Love Island's new series in South Africa.

On the opening day, Maya left show fans all saying the same thing as she arrived at the villa in a stunning red crochet top.

The Sun revealed Maya would replace Laura Whitmore last year.

It came after Celebrity Juice team captain Laura, 37, told how she was leaving the high profile presenter role after three series.

Admitting he was narrating the current series from a "man cave" in London, Iain was quizzed how he "judged" Maya's stint so far.

He told Susanna Reid: "You wouldn't judge - hopefully I wouldn't judge anyone."

He added: "Maya is absolutely fantastic, Laura was absolutely fantastic.

"Maya has done such a good job.

"Her slow mo walks have been something else - she has had some great looks."

Laura and Iain wed in a secret marriage ceremony in 2020.

They share a daughter together.

His spouse meanwhile has steered clear of any Love Island references in an apparent snub, as she films a new project abroad.

During his chat, Iain tipped farmer Will Young for the island title - despite currently being without a partner.

He was coupled up with Olivia - but she was swiped in a shock move by bombshell Tom.

Iain added: "British people love an underdog and there's no bigger underdog on British telly than farmer Will.

"I really like him."

He continued: "Every series some contestants do that thing where they have a slow start but then the British public get behind them.

"Bur he needs to find someone - the farmer needs a wife!"
