Maya Jama will not return as a panellist for ITV’s The Masked Singer in its next series, with reports saying she will appear in just one episode as part of a “new format.” The Mirror and The Independent both state she stepped back from the show after her departure from Love Island.
The Independent adds that the presenter, 32, has signed a new deal with Netflix, while the Mirror focuses more narrowly on her reduced involvement in The Masked Singer. The right-leaning outlets, the Daily Mail and Mail Online, also report she has no plans to return, linking her departure to a reported seven-figure global Netflix deal.
Across the coverage, the core point is that Jama’s role on The Masked Singer changes from a regular panellist position to a limited one-episode appearance, with Netflix business arrangements cited as context.
