Maya Jama looks sensational in a black mesh top as she tells of her joy at joining Celebrity Juice

Maya Jama has told of her joy at becoming a regular panellist on Celebrity Juice, saying the show allows her to be her ‘true unfiltered self’.

The TV presenter, 26, will join host Keith Lemon and panellists Laura Whitmore and Emily Atack on the comedy series and shared a series of snaps to her Instagram as she described the new gig as a ‘blessing’.

She wrote: ‘NEWS IS OUTTT (if you didn’t already put two & two together from my stories) I am now part of the @celebjuiceofficial fam which is bloody mental considering I grew up watching the show & basically wanted to be @keithlemon as a teen.

‘Very nuts & such a blessing being on a show that allows me to be my true unfiltered self if you know me you’ll know how gassed I am so look out for my little head as I’ll be a regular on the show now.’

Maya looked incredible in one snap as she posed in a black bra with a mesh sleeveless top that highlighted her incredible figure.

The star, who has made many appearances on Celebrity Juice in the past, also sported a large pink hat as she struck a playful pose for the camera.  

Maya also posted a behind the scenes snap from the set of the ITV2 show as she pulled a silly face alongside Keith. 

Keith commented on Maya’s post and welcomed her to the team, writing: ‘Lovely having you part of our RAD MAD FAM xx’, while Laura Whitmore commented with a series of love hearts. 

It comes after Maya said she is certain that her new role will be ‘hilarious and fun’.

The brunette bombshell added: ‘I never have any idea quite what’s going to unfold on Celeb Juice, but I do know it’s always going to be hilarious and super fun.’

Maya also revealed that she’s ‘long dreamed’ of joining the hit show, and called her fellow panelists some of her ‘favourite people’.

‘It’s a show I dreamed about going on when I was growing up and so I’m beyond thrilled to become a regular on the show and be given the opportunity to share the panel with some of my favourite people. Bang Tidy,’ the TV star gushed.

Maya’s addition to the panel is another cast shakeup in recent months. 

Back in September, Laura, 35, and Emily, 31, were announced as Holly Willoughby’s replacements after she left her 12-year stint.

Holly launched the show with Keith and her pal Fearne Cotton in 2008. 

Speaking about the new role, Emily said it was ‘the most ridiculous and daunting path’ stepping into Holly’s shoes.

Opening up about the experience, Emily said at the time: ‘Everything I’m doing now is kind of my dream job. 

She added: ‘Stepping into shoes like Holly Willoughby’s is the most ridiculous and daunting path as a telly person.

‘It’s like, “How on earth will I fill shoes like that?!” But I’m just so humbled and flattered, and I’m glad to be doing the show with Laura, she’s my really good friend.’

Prior to the announcement, Maya had been rumoured to become a team captain, while Spice Girls’ Mel B, Kelly Brook, Gino D’Acampo and Paddy McGuinness all served as team captains in the past. 

Maya’s exciting career development comes shortly after she confessed she’d love to ‘go off grid’ for several months, but would still want to ‘do lots of work things’.

She said: ‘I just want to escape for a year if we’re allowed to and go off the grid. But I still want to do lots of work things, so it’s about getting the balance right. 

‘I plan on taking at least a couple of months off and running away to somewhere like Brazil and coming off social media.’
