Maya Jama has responded after she caused a stir on Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway as viewers suspected she slipped up and swore during the live show. The
Love Island host was appearing as the guest announcer when she struggled with her words. The 29-year-old was announcing that the cast of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang would be the programme's End Of The Show Show act. Maya said: "The Chitty Chitty Bang Bang gang...ooh gosh!" She added: "They are here for the End Of The Show Show, see you after the break." She added to the camera before: "That was close!" But she took to X as the show aired as the hashtag was flooded with comments from viewers who very much believed she had repeatedly sworn. Read more Ant under
