Maya Indea Jama (/ˈdʒɑːmə/ JAH-mə; born 14 August 1994) is a British television presenter and radio DJ.

[4] While working on the documentary When Dads Kill in 2017, which dealt with young people's experiences similar to her own childhood, she relented and examined her relationship with her own father, by then released from prison, meeting with him in an attempt to elicit answers directly from him; "nothing he said, and nothing his family told her, gave her any real insights" into why he had ended up in prison.

[3] Jama remains close to her mother and occasionally the two appear on talk shows together and attend private celebrity events.

In September 2017, she co-presented the Saturday night game show Cannonball on ITV with Andrew Flintoff, Frankie Bridge, Radzi Chinyanganya and Ryan Hand.

In October 2018, she co-presented Stand Up to Cancer with long-standers Alan Carr and Adam Hills,[14] and became the team captain on ITV2 rap panel show Don't Hate the Playaz presented by Jordan Stephens.

In early June 2020, she presented the Saturday evening BBC One TV programme Peter Crouch: Save Our Summer.

In September 2021, it was announced that Jama would be the host of Simon Cowell’s new music competition gameshow Walk The Line.

In an Instagram post, Jama said she had "a lot of exciting commitments" planned for the future, which meant she could not continue with her broadcasting segment at Radio 1.

Guests included Cherry Healey, Vick Hope, Anna Richardson, Vanessa White, Katie Piper, Gemma Cairney and Laura Whitmore.

That same year, Jama became an ambassador for Savera UK which operates across the United Kingdom to provide services to individuals who have experienced or are at risk of ‘Honour’ Based Abuse (HBA) and Harmful Practices.

After being accused of colourism, she apologised, stating that she was "an ignorant, stupid child" when the social media post was made in 2012.

[28] In August 2023, Jama reunited with Stormzy, having been photographed holding hands in Greece and on a date night out in London in October 2023.

Jama and Stormzy announced jointly on Instagram "We tried, and it didn't work, and that's okay.”[31] In November 2019, she won the People's Choice Award for best dressed star.
