LOVE Island host Maya Jama is getting into the drinks business as she looks to cash in on her success with the ITV show.
The former Radio 1 DJ is about to launch her own range of soft drinks.
Maya, 28, calls the range Cling Cling – after her catchphrase ‘Cling Cling muthaf ***ers’, which has been a hit with her fans.
A source said: “Maya are gearing up to release a range of soft drinks, hopefully in time for the summer.
“She is a smart businesswoman as well as an excellent TV presenter.
“Maya’s growing popularity is great for its brands and soft drinks would be perfect.
“She has her hand in a lot of pies and is building her empire smartly.”
Maya – who has more than 2.5 million followers on Instagram – has already found financial success using her saying Cling Cling in the retail world.
In 2019 she launched a range of t-shirts and hoodies with different designs of the slogan – and brought them back the following year with proceeds from sales going to Black Lives Matter and feminist action group Sisters Uncut .
In addition to her new line of drinks in the works, Maya has also trademarked the word “string” for a line of clip-on bangs.
She’s worn the beauty additions herself, posting a snap on Instagram a few years ago.
The source added: “Given the popularity of Maya’s line of beauty MIJ masks which she launched in 2020, no one would be surprised if she put the money behind a new line of hair extensions. ”
The Sun exclusively revealed last July that Maya would be the new host of Love Island – replacing Laura Whitmore in the role.
She presented the ITV2 and ITVX show’s opening night show on Monday to a huge fanfare of viewers who hailed her as the “ultimate bombshell”.
