The news came as a shock to fans as Jama shared the news on Instagram alongside a reel of her time on the programme, noting she was ready to "throw [herself] into something new".
She continued: "But I've always believed that to truly grow, you have to take a leap every now and then, and now is my time to throw myself into something new."
Speculation has quickly begun as to who could be a shoo-in to replace Jama - especially with another season of All Stars due to begin in 2027.
Let's take a look at who could be the right fit to walk down those villa halls.
1. Olivia Attwood
Since 2020, Attwood has presented and led seven of her own shows, including Getting Filthy Rich, Bad Boyfriends and The Heat, the latter two notably being ITV reality series.
Attwood and ITV's strong relationship hints that she could be a natural move as host, and she is beloved by many, if her 2.8 million followers on Instagram alone is anything to go by.
Unlike a presenter without ties to the programmes, Attwood brings in experience of the highs and lows the show can offer, something the Islanders could benefit from in a host.
2. AJ Odudu
She's no stranger to a hosting gig, having also been a presenter on The Voice UK, The Big Breakfast and M&S: Dress the Nation. A handful of these shows have been on ITV, proving a strong relationship between her and the broadcaster.
Perhaps out of all these entries, she has the most experience in a host position and the skills required of a Love Island host. Based on Big Brother's usual release pattern, she'd potentially have the time...
3. Indiyah Polack
After placing third on the reality series, Polack quickly became intertwined with the show, working as a panellist on Aftersun from 2023 to 2025, as well as co-presenting Love Island: The Morning After podcast alongside Amy Hart.
Much like Attwood, having someone who was once in the villa as a contestant then as the host could offer a perspective other hosts have lacked. A lot of the moments the Islanders will be navigating, Polack will have done and could provide thoughtful insight to post-show interviews and those awkward dumpings.
4. Molly-Mae Hague
Molly-Mae Hague is arguably the most successful person to have made a name for themselves after appearing on Love Island - so why wouldn't ITV want her as host?
It's an unlikely venture for Hague, who has launched her own businesses and is also a mother to two young children, but we can dream!
5. Vick Hope
Hope certainly has the credentials, having presented Vick Hope's Breakfast Show, I'm a Celebrity... The Daily Drop and 2Awesome, as well as a backstage reporter on The Voice UK, The X Factor: Celebrity and The X Factor: The Band.
While she might not be an obvious pick, especially due to her various other television and radio commitments, she bring a freshness to the show having not been associated with the series before.
