Love Island host Maya Jama’s mysterious role in the Gentlemen season two has been revealed.

Love Island icon Maya Jama has made her debut in The Gentlemen season two on Netflix.

A number of new faces are being welcomed into the fold of Netflix’s epic crime drama The Gentlemen season two, including Downton Abbey star Hugh Bonneville.

But someone who subscribers may not have been expecting to see in the eight-part second outing is Love Island presenter Maya Jama as it marks her first major scripted TV debut.

The only other acting experience that the 32-year-old has had was in a breif cameo role for Katherine Ryan’s The Duchess on Netflix six years ago.

With The Gentlemen season two now ready to binge-watch, fans are eager to find out all there is to know about Maya Jama’s role.

When does Maya Jama appear in The Gentlemen season 2?

It isn’t long before Maya Jama pops up on our screens as she features in the first episode of The Gentlemen season two.

She is mostly seen speaking to Kaya Scodelario’s Susie Glass but shows up once again in episode four.

Maya Jama’s The Gentlemen season 2 role explained

Maya Jama portrays a character named Aisha in the second season of The Gentlemen on Netflix.

She plays the wife of one of Eddie Horniman’s (played by Theo James) criminal associates, Prince Amir bin Abdullah al-Hadidi, brought to life by actor Amra Mallassi, reports the Express.

Susie Glass (Kaya Scodelario) describes her as a “clever girl” and “aspirational”, saying: “Looks after herself and everyone who comes within her orbit. She moved out to the Middle East five years ago to work in hospitality. Now she’s snagged herself a seat at the royal table.”

Talking about her experience shooting The Gentlemen, Jama described creator Guy Ritchie as “very personable” to Variety.

She continued: “He’s really kind and nice. He doesn’t feel as intimidating as you’d think, being who he is. He’s very personable and he would be like, ‘Yeah, you’re doing well’, and reassure me, which was really nice.

“He’s just really involved and kind of a genius to watch, because everyone’s practising their lines and then he says something that’s way better than the original. You just feel like you’re in the presence of greatness.”

The Gentlemen is available to stream on Netflix.

MAYA Jama’s ex-boyfriend Ruben Dias appears to be moving on from their split as he sets his sight on a new romantic interest.

And the Manchester City footballer, 29, controversially seems to be pursuing a connection with a fellow star from within the Love Island family.

This week Ruben followed Joanna Chimondes on Instagram, the season 5 stunner who appeared on screens back in 2019 and returned for All Stars in 2024.

Tellingly, Joanna, 29, has followed the Premier League player back on the social media platform – so watch this space.

The Sun has reached out to representatives of Ruben and Joanna for comment.

Joanna is earned a spot in the Love Island history books when she stole the affection of scouser Michael Griffiths during Casa Amor – when he was coupled up with Amber Gill.

The fireman returned to the main villa with Jo, much to Amber’s disgust who branded her villa rival ‘a dead ting’ upon learning of the betrayal.

Joanna and Michael’s romance didn’t go the distance though, as she was booted from the villa separately with Michael controversially deciding to stay.

It seems Ruben has a thing for Love Island stars having dated stunning host Maya, 31, for 18 months before The Sun exclusively revealed their split last month.

The pair first began dating in December 2024 after meeting at the MTV Europe Music Awards in Manchester the month prior.

Their relationship is understood to have ended before Maya jetted off to Scotland to film Celebrity Traitors and ahead of all new Love Island.

Ruben was accused of following women online whilst loved-up with Maya Jama and sending seedy late night requests to influencers on Instagram.

Known as “toe dipping” – fans allege Ruben has a habit of following a woman in the evening, then unfollowing them the next day.

Post break-up, the football ace has also been linked to his actress ex Daniela Melchior.

In May the defender was cheered on by Daniela in the crowd of Portugal‘s World Cup qualifier with Chile, winning 2-1.

He’s also liked snaps of his ex online – cuddling an inflatable alien, and wearing a sexy leopard print dress.
