MAYA Jama has given fans a glimpse into her incredibly romantic New York Valentine's Day love-in with fiancé Ben Simmons.

The presenter's basketball star partner went all out to make the day special, decorating his entire apartment with rose petals, candles and bouquets of flowers.

After a hearty breakfast, the smitten couple cuddled in front of a mirror with a robe-wearing Maya filming it on her phone.

She then toured the luxury pad that was bursting at the seams with petals, before showing off a new gold necklace featuring their engagement date.

Yesterday Maya also posted a cryptic Valentine's message about "obsessive love".

The 27-year-old has been famously coy over her engagement, even swerving Mo Gilligan's questions about her massive engagement ring at the Brits.

But she reposted a message that said: "Everybody deserves to feel an obsessive love.

"Somebody who just can't get enough of you.

"Somebody who makes you feel like the world is yours and they'll do anything to make you happy.

"Like you on top of the world."

Her post came as Maya awkwardly shut down Mo 's questions about her love life last Tuesday.

As the presenters chatted in between awards, Mo, 33, drew attention to the sparkler on the star's ring finger.

He said: "Maya, how has it been for you tonight - are you enjoying the vibes? I can't have you here without talking about that amazing rock on your finger.

"That is the size of a small studio flat in London."

But Maya clearly wasn't keen to discuss her love life on live TV. After pretending to hide her hand and looking slightly awkward, she replied: "Let's move on."

In December The Sun revealed that Maya was engaged to NBA player Ben.

He popped the question over Christmas, but the pair had kept the news quiet, only telling close family and friends.

Maya began dating Aussie Simmons, 25, in May and fell in love with the 6ft 11in hunk during trips to the US.
