Maya Jama explains Love Island to King Charles in hilarious clip
"So I host Love Island, I don't know if you watch that though?"
We're now just weeks away from the return of Love Island, and it seems host Maya Jama may have just recruited one new viewer – King Charles.
The pair were filmed meeting and chatting along with photographer Campbell Addy at The Sovereign's Creative Industries Garden Party at Buckingham Palace, and Jama is heard telling the King that she hosts the ITV dating show.
In the clip, Jama says: "So I host Love Island, I don't know if you watch that though? That's like a reality dating show, yep, that's what I do."
The King then jokes that "there's one born every minute", before Jama tells the King that she is "just about to go to Spain to film some young people snog someone, so yeah, that's coming".
ITV News Royal Editor Chris Ship posted the clip on Twitter, which has been re-branded as X, and noted that he thought the King would more likely be a Springwatch kind of viewers.
