Product Information

Before you begin thinking about food, drink or music, Maya suggests the most essential part of any party is who is invited. I would say that the secret to a great house party, first and foremost, is inviting a good group of people," she said. "I love my friends and enjoy having them around, so that's always the start to a great night. Also, good music is important – it helps to create the right vibe for the evening!" Don't ever expect to leave a Maya Jama event hungry, as Maya insists there always has to be some good food on offer. Talking about the new partnership, Maya said: ‘‘I was already a fan of Gordon’s Premium Pink, when the opportunity came up to develop ‘Clink with Pink’ with the Gordon’s team, the brand wanted to focus on bringing people together, which is how I approach all my work, so I couldn’t wait to get started. ‘Clink With Pink’ is all about being unapologetically yourself and having the best time with friends. I can’t wait to show you our first limited edition bottles dropping next week and hope you will raise a glass with me.” As well as the physical benefits of working out, Maya told Stylist that the positive impact on her mental health is a real driver to get into the gym. "I just think [working out] helps your mental health so much anyway – there’s a difference in how I feel if I go out and do some exercise versus just staying in bed all day," she said. "I notice how it impacts my brain and how I’m feeling." Group sesh is best

Gordon’s Gin X Maya Jama: A Good Match?

Yes, having impressive food and cute decorations can be important, but at the end of the day your party is about your guests, and you need to be aware of everyone's needs.As well as throwing big parties for her friends Maya and her mates are perfectly happy having a chilled night in. We were in the studio one day and someone was singing that Slave song, ‘Watching You.’ We flipped it into ‘Rollin’ down the street, smokin indo, sippin’ on gin and juice,’ and made it happen from there.” I love being the host, but I know what I’m great at (making the drinks and being on playlist duty) so I make sure my guests know that it’s not gonna be gourmet dishes when they come round," she said.

It's super easy to make as it only has two core ingredients and for a special twist Maya likes to add in "a little sugar syrup and a touch of lime juice." Part of Glow Up’s charm is the wholesome, inclusive content. The format is designed to focus on the contestants and their work with very little bitchiness between them. But Judge Val serves as the competition enforcer, making sure there is an element of pressure to keep contestants on their toes. She deftly dodges a question about which makeup artists (MUAs) she likes most. “For me, it’s very important that I give everyone the same sort of attention because it would be unfair to have favourites,” she says, diplomatically. It would be a stretch to call her the bad cop to Dom’s good cop, but she brings the necessary discipline and trepidation needed for TV, which also translates into real world professionalism required to work in the industry. Glow Up caters more to BBC Three’s younger demographic and, as it rolls into its third season, it is clear to see why. Veteran makeup artists and judges Val Garland and Dominic Skinner remain on the show, with 26-year-old presenter Maya Jama replacing Stacey Dooley – a more natural choice of bubbly presenter and supportive sister to the young contestants. “I don’t know how involved you’re supposed to get in these jobs with people,” she says, fresh-faced and glowing in her sports bra, as she tries to fit in some home workouts between interviews. “We cried at points; it was emotional. Maybe it would have been different if it wasn’t a pandemic because everyone goes home and lives their lives separately, but because it was our whole life for that month and a half, you put your all into it.” With so much attention on the new Love Island host – and, in particular, her body – we got to thinking: How does Maya Jama stay so fit? To find the answer to that burning question we did all the digging and diving into Maya's health and fitness regime and now we're ready to bring you the low-down on how Maya built her bod.We can all admit that motivating yourself to work out isn't always the easiest, which is why many of us – like Maya – prefer to exercise as a group, which adds a level of accountability. For her summer party playlist essentials, Maya says she always includes a variety of artists, "It’s so hard to choose – I do love a bit of Raye, throw some Movado in there." I throw a big Halloween party every year – it’s just a fun time for people to dress up and let their hair down! I’m so excited about this year too, it’ll be hosted in partnership with Gordon’s Premium Pink and it’s going to be incredible," she said. In previous years Maya has gone as a 'Bad Grandma' and 'Medusa', but surely her outfit this year has to be pink themed? A chilled night in with friends is just as fun as a big house party Maya went on: "Alice showed me that it’s not how long you train for, but how you train that counts." Finding a reason
