Ferdinand

MAYA Jama looked incredible as she joined David Beckham and Rio Ferdinand for the Qatar Grand Prix.

The Love Island host, 31, dialled up the glamour as she walked the Circuit in a strapless black dress which showed off every inch of her toned figure.

Maya joined the likes of Sir David Beckham, Rio Ferdinand and Gary Neville ahead of the penultimate race of the season.

Rio and Gary met guests in the paddock as organisers highlighted the Grand Prix’s entertainment across the weekend.

The event was expected to attract more than 150,000 spectators across three days, according to reports.

Lando Norris finished fourth in the thrilling Qatar race while bitter rival Max Verstappen topped the podium.

But he will have to wait until the final race of the season if he is to clinch his first World Drivers’ Championship.

And it means that Norris is only 12 points ahead of Verstappen going into the Abu Dhabi thriller.

Meanwhile, Maya has shaken up her schedule for the next series of Love Island — to cosy up with her football star lover Ruben Dias.

The dating show host will fly home during breaks in filming for this January’s All Stars edition in Cape Town so she can spend time with the Manchester City defender back home.

Normally, Maya moves into a private villa for the ITV show, which in 2026 will run for six weeks, longer than usual.

However Portugual star Ruben, 28, is unlikely to be able to fly out to see her owing to the Premier League club’s gruelling fixture list.

A source said: “Maya and Ruben are happier than ever and will be keen to see each other whilst she films All Stars, which is back for an extended run in 2026.

“He’s extremely unlikely to be able to take time out of training and visit Cape Town so Maya will fly back when she can around ITV’s schedule.”

Maya will fly to Cape Town in the first week of January, but filming coincides with a congested fixture list for Manchester City.

Their matches include a derby clash at Manchester United on January 17 and a crucial game away to Liverpool on February 7.

Maya’s rapper ex Stormzy visited her during filming for 2024’s series and even appeared during the final.

They split in July that year and she met Ruben at the MTV EMAs last November.

They kept their romance under wraps until March this year but now regularly post snaps of them out and about together.

Last month they were spotted checking out a £4million mansion in Cheshire’s Alderley Edge, a favourite for wealthy footballers.

KATE Ferdinand has shown off her toned abs in Christmas PJs, while opening the doors to her stunning Dubai mansion. 

The 34-year-old revealed earlier this year that she and Rio had officially moved to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) from Bromley, South East London.

At the time of the summer move, the star captioned an Instagram post: “A new chapter, a fresh start — because if we don’t try, we’ll never know.”

Now, sharing a peek inside their lives there, the stunning star posted some fabulous festive snaps in her matching Christmas pyjamas. 

“The Christmas celebrations have begun with our babies,” Kate penned, while posing with pals at her Dubai abode.

OH MY DUBAI

I ditched UK for sunny Dubai like Rio & Kate Ferdinand but one thing ruined it

Kate displayed her toned abs and wore her highlighted locks down for the festive photoshoot. 

She flashed a look inside her and Rio’s huge Dubai mansion, with marble floors, as she wandered to the door with her kids to let her friends in. 

Kate and the girls then posed with Santa and The Grinch for a playful photo outside the front of the home. 

And the fitness fanatic also gave a glimpse of her Christmas dining table, equipped with goody bags for the kids. 

Fans rushed to the comments to rave about Kate’s look, as one penned: “Girls your pjs are so nice, where are they from please, you look beautiful.” 

A second person added: “awesome smile and beautiful figure honey,” while a third penned: “Wow, Kate, how amazing do you look.” 

Kate and Rio’s move

Last month, Kate posted a photo dump captioned “recently,” where she shared a string of interior shots. 

The home boasts a huge bedroom with a fluffy beige rug and large bed, with brown wardrobes running alongside one of the walls.

Marble staircases can also be spotted inside the stylish abode, with the entrance hall looking very bright and airy. 

A large black and white family photo can be spotted in the backdrop of one of Kate’s snaps in the home.

Kate flashed another look at the stunning marble entrance as she clutched a huge bouquet of red roses. 

In the lounge, the family have opted for a huge wraparound white sofa with patterned scatter cushions and a white table with a bouquet of roses in the middle. 

The famous family also appear to have an outdoor swimming pool at their residence, which Kate shared a peek at.

The married couple are parents to son Cree, four, and daughter Shae, two.

Rio also has three children from a previous marriage, Lorenz, Tate, 16, and Tia, 13. 

The move to Dubai is full circle for the footballer and former TOWIE star, who met there in 2016 after being introduced out there by mutual friends.

Rio proposed to Kate in Abu Dhabi two years later and the couple tied the knot one year on.

A source said of the couple: “It holds a special place in their hearts as that’s where they met and both could easily travel back and forth for their work commitments in the UK.

“As well as his sporting success Rio has a huge business portfolio now and there is lots of potential in the Middle East.”
