Maya wowed in a figure-hugging dress for the sixth annual event, held at El Badi Palace, and hosted by Angela Bassett and Ahmed Helmy.

The TV star completed the classy look with a matching Pashmina and open toe heels.

Maya looked stunning with her hair tied back and rocked some winged eyeliner and a nude lip.

She posed up a storm with actor Lucien Laviscount backstage. 

The pair were in high spirits as they smiled for the camera.

Lucien looked dapper in a black shirt, suit jacket and matching trousers.

Maya is currently enjoying a sun drenched break away in Morocco – and she’s not the only celebrity staying in her hotel.

The ITV2 star shared a snap of Emily In Paris favourite Lucien on her Instagram story.

The actor could be seen enjoying the sunshine, kicking back in a wicker chair with his feet up on the table.

Maya captioned the post: “My neighbour.”

The telly favourite said she’s travelling alone earlier this week, and enjoyed a dinner out by herself.

She joked: “I always feel like whenever your travel alone, everyone at their dinner tables are always like ‘why she alone…is she a travel blogger, is she a lone ranger, is she a runaway princess or is she an escort…”

Maya also showed off her figure in a snakeskin bikini as she danced away in the sunshine.

The former radio host has been jet setting around the world recently.

Just last week she looked fabulous in a figure-hugging black gown at the DKMS Gala in New York.

Maya was in high spirits after it was revealed that her ex has moved on, just three months after their shock split.

Last week Stormzy, 31, was snapped kissing US musician Victoria Monet, 35.

Their split statement read: “We’ve been laughing whilst drafting this because we never, ever, in a million years thought we’d be the couple announcing a break-up.

“But for the sake of clarity and, more importantly, to allow us the space and grace that’s needed for us both to be able to navigate this next bit of our lives with peace, we thought it might be best to.”

Ted Danson has made a heart-wrenching admission about his Cheers co-star Kelsey Grammer.

The actor, who played bartender Sam Malone on the NBC sitcom, has said that he has “missed out on the last 30 years” of friendship with the Frasier star due to an argument they had on the set of Cheers.

However, the pair are now putting their troubles behind them, with Danson taking accountability for their “feud”.

Grammer appeared on Where Everybody Knows Your Name , the podcast Danson co-hosts with Woody Harrelson, whom also starred in Cheers.

“I feel like I got stuck a little bit with you during the Cheers years,” Danson told the guest, who is back for a second season of the Frasier reboot. “I have a memory of getting angry at you once.”

Noting that this encounter is “stuck in both of our memories”, Danson continued: “But I feel like I missed out on the last 30 years of Kelsey Grammer and I feel like it’s my bad, my doing.

“I apologise to you. And [to] me that I sat back… I really do apologise.”

Grammer accepted the apology, and told Danson, who guest starred on Frasier a few times during its original run, that he wishes that had “spent some more time together”.

He added: “My love for you has always been as easy as the day. As easy as the sunrise.”

Grammer originated the character of Frasier on Cheers, which he joined in its third season.

Cheers ran for 11 seasons, from 1982 to 1993, which is when Frasier started. It became a successful sitcom in its own right, lasting for 11 seasons also, ending in 2004.

The reboot, which has welcomed back cast members Peri Gilpin (Roz Doyle), Bebe Neuwrith (Lilith) and Harriet Sansom Harris (celebrity agent Bebe Glazer), airs on Paramount+.

The original series originally featured Lisa Kudrow, who recently revealed she was fired after being cast in Gilpin’s role.

In 1993, one year before being cast in Friends, which Kudrow says she can’t watch due to being “mortified” by her performance, the actor won the role of Frasier’s radio producer.

However, before filming the pilot episode, Kudrow was dropped from the role, telling the SmartLess podcast: “I didn’t film it. I got fired from Frasier.”

The actor described this as “devastating”, telling co-hosts Sean Hayes, Jason Bateman and Will Arnett that director James Burrows told her during the episode’s run-through: “This isn’t working.”

Cheers starred Shelley Long, George Wendt, Rhea Perlman and Kirstie Alley.

ELLA Morgan has opened up about her new boyfriend, revealing that they have already said the L word.

The Married at First Sight star, 30, met her man Alex when she was appearing on Celebs Go Dating, and she has now told The Sun, “You know, when you know.”

The couple – who have been inseparable ever since meeting on the hit E4 reality show – spoke about how smitten she is, as she walked red carpet at this week’s Price of Britain Awards.

Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Ella Morgan said: “I’m very happy, I’m very content.

“He’s not like any of the other people I’ve been with. I feel like I want to pinch myself.

“I went on two dating shows, first one didn’t go well.

“I actually didn’t think anything would happen, this sounds so cringe, you know when you know.”

The Married at First Sight UK star previously revealed how “it was the worst kept secret” having to hide the pair’s relationship while Celebs Go Dating was airing.

Speaking to Daily Record, she shared: “Me and Alex are still together. I don’t know what it was, I couldn’t keep my mouth shut because I was just so happy. 

“Even now I just tell random people, “this is my boyfriend Alex” or I’ll show them a picture of me and him.

“Even though they probably don’t care I still want to show him off anyway. I’m really happy and he’s really happy, well I hope he is anyway.”

The reality star added: “People still message and ask if we are still together and, well, I wouldn’t be posting about him if we weren’t.”

Meanwhile, Ella opened up about how Alex has adapted to her public lifestyle.

“I actually had a conversation with him when we finished filming Celebs Go Dating and I explained this was my kind of life and if he didn’t want to be part of it I would understand”, she revealed.

Continuing, Ella said: “I obviously didn’t want it to stop us from still being together because I know it’s probably a lot for him, but he’s taken it really well and come to events and he is enjoying it.

“I don’t think it’s necessarily something he would want to do for himself – he’s happy to be on the sidelines.”

She also addressed how “supportive” fans have been of her new relationship.

Ella remarked: “Most of the comments have been so supportive on my new relationship and it has been so lovely.

“I think people just wanted me to find someone whether they watched me on MAFS or Celebs and now I’ve found someone people just love that I’ve found love – and it’s so nice.”

The star added: “He’s coped with it really well and we have a really honest and open relationship where we communicate how we feel about certain things.

“If he ever doesn’t want to come to an event, he doesn’t have to and it’s always his choice, but I do like having him there with me.”

A source previously told The Sun: “Ella and Alex have been inseparable since they met on Celebs Go Dating and have remained together since filming wrapped in July.

“They’ve finally made their relationship official after Ella brought Alex as a plus one to a number of recent high-profile events, such as the Married at First Sight launch.

“Ella has told pals how happy she is and how Alex has made her laugh and feel safe compared to any other man she’s dated.

“He identities as a straight man and just sees Ella for her, as a woman, rather than a label and has been really supportive of her.

“They’ve talked about falling in love and see a future together. Ella has even introduced Alex to her family, as has he.”

MARRIED At First star Holly has revealed that she’s heading back to her day job after quitting the E4 show.

The bride, who married a stranger on MAFS UK, had put her job on hold while she was on the experiment.

Lash technician Holly tied the knot with Alex, who was working in aviation based at RAF Spadeadam military base in Cumbria.

Things between Holly and Alex came to a head when she challenged him over the way he spoke to some of her fellow brides at the committment ceremony – including Lacey Martin.

Speaking to Lacey about what had gone on, Holly said: “After the commitment ceremony we had a major argument because I just didn’t’ like the way you were spoken to.

“What upset the most is after, he said ‘what’s wrong with you?’ and I said ‘I’m really missing my children’ and he just said ‘f*** this, I can’t be ar*** with this’ and he just walked off.”

Following the bust-up with Alex, Holly made the decision to leave the experiment – urging producers to “get me out of here”.

Speaking on camera, Holly added: “Me and Alex are just not getting on. I need some space, get me out of here.”

MAFS fans were keen to know if the beautician was set to return to work or had other jobs in the pipeline.

During an Instagram Q&A, a fans asked: “I saw at the beginning of MAFS that you’re a lash technician, is this something you still do?”

Holly revealed it was only a matter of weeks before she heads back to the salon.

She replied: “It is indeed. I will be returning to work at the end of the month.”

Holly hasn’t had an easy time on the show so far.

Viewers begged producers to step in after Holly admitted she’s afraid to confront groom Alex during arguments last week.

The couple got into another row after Alex‘s behaviour during a recent dinner party caused Holly to storm off.

She was unimpressed with his conversation with one of the imposter brides.

Alex later insisted Holly should bring up such matters in private – but she revealed why she feels unable to when the cameras aren’t around.

He said: “If I feel someone, I’ll tell you. I ain’t gonna hold it in. You just like to act like you’re cool when you’re not.

“Big Holly only comes out when there’s cameras around and there’s people around.

“If I start raising my voice, it’s gonna be a madness.”

Holly replied: “This is why I can’t confront you, because ‘it’s gonna be a madness’.”

Fans rushed to social media after the row to have to their say.

One wrote: “Quite shocked that the experts haven’t picked up on or questioned holly expressing how she only brings up issues in front of people due to feeling intimidated by Alex in private.”

Another said: “Has anyone thought that maybe Holly is waiting until there are people and cameras around to confront Alex because she doesn’t feel safe to do it alone? He’s a huge red flag.”

And a third added: “That is one big red flag right there what Holly said about wanting to be in a safe space and being around people when she wants to talk to Alex about something that is bothering her.”

LOVE Islander Maura Higgins is in advanced talks to join I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! after boxer Tommy Fury pulled out just weeks before the show started.

His exit helped pave the way for the Irish model and TV host because it meant there wouldn’t be two stars from the ITV2 dating show going into the jungle in the same year.

Maura, 33, actually vie for the affections of Tommy, 25, when they were both on Love Island in 2019, but he ended up with Molly-Mae Hague, also 25, and the couple dated up to this summer when they split.

Revelations about the separation – which were surrounded by allegations of cheating – could emerge around the campfire because Maura and Molly are now best friends.

A Jungle insider said: “With Tommy Fury pulling out it gave show bosses the opportunity to look at other Love Island stars and Maura stood out as the perfect candidate.

“She’ll bringing a bit of glamour to the jungle and make a brilliant campmate because she’s got a great sense of humour and is bound to get on with everyone.

“It’s shaping up to be a strong year for woman on I’m A Celebrity this year.”

Other names in the frame for this year include WAG queen Coleen Rooney, Dancing on Ice judge Oti Mabuse and N-Dubz singer Tulisa.

The stars usually jet down under in Mid November, around a week before the show, hosted by Ant & Dec, kicks off its three-week run on ITV1.

The Sun exclusively revealed yesterday how Tommy was pulling out of the jungle before signing a binding contract, despite the fact he’d been in talks with ITV producers for months.

It is understood he had been offered another more lucrative project, which is believed to be a rematch between KSI and Tommy, the younger half-brother of heavyweight boxing champion Tyson Fury.

It was thought he might have given his side of the story on the split with Molly-Mae, but now jungle bosses will be hoping Maura takes on the mantle.

She was back in the headlines this week when she was seen getting up close and personal with Strictly Come Dancing pro Kai Widdrington at the Pride of Britain Awards.

She was previously in a relationship with another Strictly pro, Giovanni Pernice, but they split in 2021.

Maura has long been seen as a rising star with ITV bosses, and she’s appeared on everything from Dancing on Ice to Cooking with the Stars.

Currently she hosts the After Sun spin-off from Love Island US.

A spokesman for I’m A Celebrity declined to comment.

A rumoured I’m a Celebrity 2024 contestant has “pulled out” of the show with weeks to go.

It’s been claimed that Tommy Fury, the former Love Island star and boxer who recently split from his fiancée Molly Mae Hague, was set to enter the Australian jungle, but has withdrawn after receiving a better offer.

Fury was one of the 11 rumoured stars ITV is believed to have lined up for the forthcoming series, which starts in November. Other celebrities that have been speculated to appear include Ally McCoist, Reverend Richard Coles and Coleen Rooney, who will reportedly be the highest-paid campmate ever.

However, it’s now being reported that Fury will no longer be on the show, with speculation rife that he quit so he could take part in a boxing match with KSI.

A source told The Sun: “Bosses are surprised Tommy has chosen to pull out of I’m a Celebrity at this late stage as it would have been a great opportunity for him too.

“Thankfully, the execs already had some great names waiting in the wings so they’ll now be looking at which ones fit best into the line up already booked so they can deliver a truly great series.”

While Fury was not confirmed as a 2024 campmate, he sidestepped a question about his possible involvement during an appearance on Heart Radio. He said: “Listen, a lot of things in my life is like a rollercoaster in a minute.

“There are so many things I might do. You know, could he be doing this? Could he be doing that? I don’t know what I’m doing this afternoon.

Fury continued “I mean, I just take literally an hour at a time, so I don’t know. There’s a lot of things going on in my life right now. So, I’m not sure on anything.”

Earlier this month, Fury, who has one child with Hague, said that he was eager to “resolve things” with his ex, whom he met on ITV2 reality series Love Island.

After denying claims he cheated on Hague, Fury said he was in “love” with her, adding: “It is proper love. Do I still love Molly? 100 per cent. I will love her until my final breath. The minute I saw her, I thought, ‘Yes, she’s the woman of my dreams’.”

The Independent has contacted ITV and Fury for comment. An ITV spokesperson previously said: “Any names suggested are just speculation.”

I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! starts on ITV on Sunday 17 November.
