Maya Jama replaced by Leomie Anderson on hit show
MAYA Jama's replacement for Glow Up has been announced after the Love Island host quit the role.
The Sun revealed earlier this month that Maya, 28, had stepped down from the role after bagging the Love Island presenting job.
Now it's been confirmed that Leomie Anderson will front Glow Up: Britain's Next Make-Up Star.
Speaking about landing the exciting job, model Leomie, 29, said: "I am so excited to be joining Glow Up as the host as it’s such an incredible show!
"I have always been a huge fan and admire all the MUAs work who have been in there previously so to see it in real life is amazing!"
She added: "‘I can’t wait to work alongside the fabulous Val [Garland] and Dom [Skinner] in a completely new territory too outside of modelling and get truly stuck in!"
BBC Three controller Fiona Campbell said: "I am thrilled that Leomie Anderson will be taking the reins as the new host of Glow Up.
"With her flair for modelling and fashion, I can’t wait to see her expertise in action.
"I also would like to thank our previous host the magnificent Maya Jama, we will miss her of course but she will always be a part of the Glow Up family."
An insider previously told The Sun: "Maya loved her time hosting Glow Up for the last two series but has decided now not to return for another run.

"It was a really difficult decision but she's going to be really busy doing two series of Love Island this year, and couldn't make it work.
"She's also gone down such a storm on Love Island that demand for her has gone through the roof and her diary outside of filming the show is absolutely jam-packed."
