Maya looked very cosy in her chic grey jumper and matching slouchy bottoms, which she teamed with white lace up trainers.

Completing her look, the star shielded her eyes with stylish black sunglasses, while her brunette tresses were worn poker straight beneath her hat. 

Maya busied herself on her phone after completing the first day of her weekend presenting, after previously telling fans: ‘I am back on radio tomorrow for the whole weekend – Friday, Saturday AND Sunday.’

Reflecting her relationship status, Maya who split with grime star Stormzy in 2019, admitted she is dating again but is always the first one to make the first move, and always goes in for the kiss first.

She also admitted to using voice calling to get to know her matches during the ongoing lockdown, and confessed she was not good at texting so video and voice calls mean she can get to know her matches better.

Meanwhile, Maya recently discussed the contrast of starting a career in the limelight at MTV while living with a family member ‘that was on crack and heroin’.

The presenter, who was born and raised in Bristol, did not name the family member she was referring to, however she has spoken in the past about her father’s run-ins with the law.

Speaking to Rollacoaster magazine, Maya said: ‘I was super over the moon and overwhelmed, but, at the same time, [I was] living with one of my family members that was on crack and heroin.’

The broadcaster added it was only when she looked back on the duality of this period that she realised how strange it was.

She said: ‘It was…very weird. When you’re in situations like that, it doesn’t feel that strange; it only feels strange when you’re out of them, and you look back and you’re like: “That was nuts. How the hell was that going on?”‘

Maya has discussed her father’s brushes with the law in the past, saying he was in and out of prison numerous times during her childhood for several offences.

She used her experiences with her father when she made the Channel 5 documentary When Dad Kills, which explored how children cope when they have a parent in prison.
