Rocking a rather sheer ensemble, the former Glow Up host left little to the imagination as she put her sensational figure on display.

Maya could be seen rocking a corset-style dress with an all-black bodice.

The skirt of the garment was completely sheer and made from a mesh fabric.

At the top of where the sheer skirt started, there were embroidered yellow flowers and greenery.

Maya wore her raven locks down and in a sleek and straight style.

“Maya looks too good in that dress,” said one person on X.

Another added: “Maya back already she looks so hot.”

And a third said: “maya is actually stunning i cannot deal.”

While a fourth wrote: “Maya in that dress!!”

At the start of the programme, Maya delivered a shocking twist.

Speaking to the new girls at the start of the episode: Shakira, Meg, Alima, Sophie, Megan and Helena, Maya shared the twist.

While delivering this twist, Maya donned a different look.

At the start of tonight’s episode, she wore a fitted floral number that had a plunging round neckline.

“This year things are slightly different,” she told the girls.

“You’ve told me what your type on paper is, but does that match your ideal man in reality?” she asked.

As the nervous girls lined up, Maya explained: “Girls, in front of you there are six love hearts.

“Each boy has given me their dating profile which is written on each of these hearts – shall we have a look at what these boys have to offer?”

On the boards the girls see descriptions for this year’s boys: Ben, Dejon, Harry, Conor, Blu and Tommy. 

And in a huge twist – the girls were told they had to decide who they’d like to couple up with based on these key stats with the boys’ name, age, job and a headline.

After making an entrance, Maya made a shock return later in the evening.

Upon her return, Maya delivered a huge bombshell.

Her bombshell was that a bombshell was arriving.

American beauty Toni – who is the first ever bombshell from the United States – then arrived.

The couples are stunned as Toni says: “Good Evening UK! Surprise!”
They quickly worked out she is American and on being the first American bombshell Toni says: “Lucky girl, aren’t I?”

Maya then explained that Toni was to immediately steal a boy.

Toni then stole Ben, meaning Shakira was left single and vulnerable.

BUKAYO SAKA lay in his hospital bed on Christmas Eve, doubting whether he would be as good a player in the future as he had been in the past.

But thanks to a self-help book and the mindful joy of a new puppy, the England and Arsenal star has returned from hamstring surgery focused only on the present.

And it is that perspective that can help put a frustrating campaign —  that began with a Euros final loss for England and ended trophyless for his club — behind him.

Saka, 23, said: “I was not happy with last season — how it went and how it ended.

“But the only thing I can do now is look forward and try to be the best version of myself and help my team-mates be the same.”

The Londoner went under the knife on December 24 after sustaining the injury three days prior in a 5-1 win at Crystal Palace.

In typical, kind fashion, he opted to do the procedure 24 hours before Christmas so the surgeons could be with their nearest and dearest the following day.

He made it home to spend Christmas with his loved ones but what followed was nearly four months out which he used for  self-reflection.

The Gunners talisman said: “I had gone from five years straight playing football, either involved with the team every single day training or playing games. Everything stops.

“You are on crutches, in hospital and need help around the house for the first few weeks.

“I got to spend more time with my family and got to do little things around the house that I wouldn’t have even paid attention to when I was playing.

“On that note it was nice and I’ve come back with a bit more of a balanced head about football and life, and I’m trying to balance them better. It definitely helped me mentally.

“The first two days were the toughest, that realisation that I’ve got what I’ve got and I need an operation.

“You start to think, ‘Am I going to be the same?’ as players came back from this injury and weren’t the same.

“After two days my surgery was done, and successful, and you just look forward. I was really positive and put in all the work I needed with my diet, in the gym, on the pitch and the physios would say the same. I feel I’ve come back in a good place.”

Saka is a keen reader of non-fiction and was inspired by a recommendation from Arsenal assistant coach Carlos Cuesta during his time sidelined.

It is called The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle and its message struck a chord with the talented winger.

He added: “It’s a really good book. It’s about not thinking about the past, not thinking about the future, just being in the moment.

You start to think, ‘Am I going to be the same?’

Saka

“Sometimes I can think, ‘Oh, am I going to come back in the best shape?’ Or, in the past, ‘What could I have done to prevent injury?’

“But all that is not necessary. It’s only going to bring bad energy, negativity to your body.

“One of the best things I took from the book is always ask yourself, what’s necessary in this moment right now and try to live that way.”

Saka spent Christmas Day in a brace and on crutches at his cousin’s, having had surgery at 5am the previous day.

He claimed it took him “ten minutes” to get to the dining room for dinner.

So when his lively new Cockapoo called Tucker turned up soon after, it was not easy “to get after him”, as Saka put it, even if having the pooch has been a “good and funny experience”.

On Tuesday against Senegal at Nottingham Forest’s City Ground, Saka hopes to ­feature for the first time under Thomas Tuchel, who he describes as “demanding and intense” on the grass but “relaxed and nice” off it.

Former Chelsea and Bayern Munich chief Tuchel has been brought in with the sole remit of winning the World Cup next year after a series of near-misses under predecessor Gareth Southgate.

The German has won all three of his games, without conceding a goal, but underwhelmed with performances,  especially in Saturday’s drab 1-0 victory over Andorra in Barcelona.

And Saka admits England sometimes have a motivation issue against the smaller nations.

But the bottom line — and Saka knows this best after a tough 12 months — is that winning is what matters most.

He added: “Every player is different and I can’t answer for every player but naturally in the bigger games everyone is going to give a bit more.

“In these other games we need to find a level where we can maintain that same quality and drive and hunger for the whole game.

“It’s not easy at times but we need  to find that and get these games over the line.

“The Andorra game, we still won, got another three points on the board and kept a clean sheet. It’s job done.

“The expectation is to win, rather than entertain. If you can have both, then  perfect. But we feel more the expectation is to win than to entertain.”

ARSENAL and Liverpool have a “huge advantage” in next season’s Premier League title race — according to Thomas Tuchel.

The England boss reckons the upcoming Club World Cup could seriously affect the chances of Manchester City and Chelsea.

The Fifa tournament in the US begins this weekend and the final is on July 13, just five weeks before the start of the new Prem season.

Chelsea and City stars will go on holiday after the Club World Cup and have no pre-season before the domestic campaign kicks off.

Tuchel, preparing for the friendly with Senegal at the City Ground in Nottingham, said: “It will have a huge impact and it will give Liverpool and Arsenal a huge advantage next season to not be there.

“It will be a very nice experience for the players who are there to play this tournament for the first time so there are mixed feelings about it.

“I have decided not to worry too much because why should I? No one knows the outcome of it.

“We will deal with the effect when the effect comes.”

Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane is set to start for the Three Lions tonight despite being involved in the Club World Cup.

Tuchel added: “If you go and ask the players, you would get 25 who say ‘I want to start’.

“The clubs are concerned and I get that after a long season.”

Crystal Palace keeper Dean Henderson could win his third England cap against Senegal.

Jude Bellingham missed training yesterday to attend a family funeral but is set to be on the bench.

Al-Ahli striker Ivan Toney will have to wait to see if he gets any action after failing to feature in Saturday’s 1-0 win over Andorra.

Tuchel said: “He has every chance to play.”

A JUDGE has dismissed actor Justin Baldoni’s $400 million defamation lawsuit against Blake Lively.

The actress had accused Baldoni of sexually harassing her while filming the 2024 movie “It Ends With Us.”

Wayfarer Studios produced the romantic drama that Baldoni wrote and directed.

The film’s behind-the-scenes tension sparked months of speculation about drama between the two leading stars until Lively filed her lawsuit in December last year.

Today’s opinion is a total victory and a complete vindication for Blake Lively

Lively also accused Baldoni and his team of orchestrating a smear campaign to ruin her reputation – but Baldoni flipped the tables in a new federal lawsuit.

Baldoni then accused Lively and Sloane of creating negative publicity to drag his name, according to court documents obtained by The U.S. Sun.

He went on to counter-sue for $400m the following month alleging he had been defamed and that the damage to his reputation had cost him lucrative working opportunities.

The docs claimed Lively set out to make Baldoni the “real-life villain in her story.”

Baldoni accused Lively and Sloane of scheming against him to deflect from the actress being seen as “tone-deaf” during the press tour for the movie.

The actor said his co-star promoted her hair care and alcohol lines while doing press for the movie, which is about domestic violence.

In the suit, Baldoni said he and Lively started battling for creative control over the movie once they started shooting in May 2023. He included emails from the time to prove his point.

He also called out Lively’s husband Ryan Reynolds and close friend Taylor Swift for getting involved in the project.

Meanwhile, Lively claimed in a lawsuit that Baldoni fat-shamed her, showed her nude videos and pictures, and spoke about a previous alleged porn addiction while on set.

She also claimed to have asked for “no more adding of sex scenes, oral sex or on camera climaxing outside the scope of the script approved when signing onto the project.”

The actress said Baldoni’s actions caused her and her family “severe emotional distress.”

U.S. District Judge Lewis Liman today dismissed Baldoni’s multi-million dollar lawsuit.

He said Lively’s harassment allegations were kept privileged after being made to a California state agency.

This meant they were shielded from the defamation claim by Baldoni and his Wayfarer Studios, ruled the judge.

In a 132-page document, Liman also rejected Baldoni’s related $250 million lawsuit against the New York Times.

Liman said how Baldoni alleged Lively shared the privileged CRD complaint to the Times, while her husband Ryan Reynolds and her publicist made sexual harassment claims they believed to be true.

He wrote: “The Wayfarer Parties’ conclusory allegations that the Lively, Reynolds, and Sloane engaged in a conspiracy to defame the Wayfarer Parties by disseminating knowingly false statements cannot substitute for factual allegations supporting a plausible inference that this occurred.”

Liman added that the Times would never have been aware if the Wayfarer parties had planned a negative publicity campaign, even if it was never carried out.

“Freedoms of expression require breathing space, and a publisher must be permitted to publish the story that it believes in good faith to be before it,” Liman wrote.

The judge concluded the director could file a more detailed and concise lawsuit against the mum-of-four, if it was focused on contractual issues.

Lively’s lawyers Michael Gottlieb and Esra Hudson said in a joint statement: “Today’s opinion is a total victory and a complete vindication for Blake Lively.

“As we have said from day one, this $400 million lawsuit was a sham.”

Lively is still seeking unspecified triple and punitive damages.

A trial has been set for March 2026.

This comes after Baldoni’s lawyer, Bryan Freedman, earlier this year launched a website releasing 168 pages of emails, text messages and WhatsApps between Baldoni and Lively.

Freedman defended his actions in court, saying: “Not to sound like a four-year-old fighting a four-year-old with ‘but they started it’ but once someone says something it becomes fact, there’s no way to fight against it.

“You start to lose things without the ability to have the court’s adjudication. This was not started by us.”

Meanwhile, in May, Taylor Swift was also dragged into the legal clash.

She broke her silence after being served with a document subpoena amid the feud.

The furious pop superstar’s team issued a statement after being ordered to provide evidence, which Baldoni’s team believes is relevant to the case.

A statement from an official Taylor Swift Spokesperson denied any involvement in the pair’s issues on the set of the movie It Ends With Us.

Her team claimed her loose link to the film – the use of her 2020 track My Tears Ricochet – was a way of dragging her name into proceedings to boost publicity surrounding the trial.

Lively’s representatives also attacked the subpoena, and claimed Baldoni’s teams were trying to turn a serious matter into entertainment.
