The Love Island host has posted a fun video of herself singing the Arctic Monkeys classic on Instagram, which she reveals is her "karaoke" song.

Love Island All Stars is back this week and it just so happens to coincide with the 19th anniversary of a classic Arctic Monkeys track.

Back in 2023, Maya Jama revealed herself to be a bit of a Monkeys fan and this clip of her singing When The Sun Goes Down has lived in our head rent free ever since.

Love Island host took to Instagram to share a fun video of herself singing along to the Sheffield band's 2006 track, which is taken from their debut album Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not.

The clip, which sees the British presenter a wearing roller in her hair and using her hairbrush as a microphone, was captioned: "They removed it off tik tok so I’m trying a ting here lol - this has beeeen my karaoke song".

Watch her cover of the song in all its glory below:

The TV personality got plenty of attention with the cover, with Instagram account s***indiedisco even inviting her for one of their club nights.

The account wrote: "LOVE IT MAYA!! GET DOWN TO OUR @arcticmonkeys WPSIATWIN special next week. Or better still, get on the mic at @indiesaturdays for some Indie-Oke! X".

Another wrote: "The hairbrush mic! Committed to the Shef accent too, love it!".
