Appearing on This Morning on Tuesday live from the villa, she gave a glimpse at the iconic fire pit, where the Islanders gather for recouplings.
Viewers could also make out two relaxing sun-loungers behind her, set right next to the show’s traditional swimming pool.
Maya explained there had been lots of upgrades around the lavish home, admitting that with every series it ‘gets more glamorous.
And This Morning hosts Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley were quick to beg the stunning presenter to show them more sneak peeks at the changes.
Despite Gabby and are set for one very awkward reunion when the series kicks off and despite his infidelity Maya, 30, shared her hopes for them to reunite

Cat asked: ‘And the villa itself, it’s had a bit of an upgrade hasn’t it?’ as Maya confirmed: ‘Yeah it’s a bit more va-va-voom! Every year we do a little bit.
‘I mean, the kitchen’s the main thing that I can see straight away that’s changed, kind of like a candy floss, pink and white stripe situation, very cute!’
She went on: ‘There’s just loads of small details. I haven’t had a full tour yet, I need to go and dig around everywhere but, every year I feel like it just gets better and better and just more glamorous.’
After some pleading from Ben and Cat, the cameraman panned around to show off the new kitchen area’s incredible new makeover.
The outside cooking and dining area was covering in pink and white striped panelling, with both the breakfast bar and the fridge also getting the same patterned treatment.
Maya proudly showed it off, saying: ‘There it is, the candyfloss kitchen!’ as Cat gasped: ‘Ooh! It’s a Barbie kitchen’ and Ben gushed: ‘I love that, that looks sensational!’
Maya also teased that fans can look forward to some ‘explosions’ this series as she discussed this year’s line-up.
She said: ‘I have said many times, I’ve been a fan since series one. So, I know all of them and seeing the lineup now I’m like, “Ok drama, excitement, hopefully some love, and maybe potential forever romances”

‘I’m mostly intrigued by the exes getting back in there though, obviously, because – drama!’
However, she kept tight-lipped on what bombshells viewers could expect to see walking in, insisting: ‘They’ve got to be a secret.
‘So I will say nothing on that, but I know there’s going to be explosions, and I know it’s going to be really jaw dropping as usual!’
However, the Masked Singer star rather missed the mark when she sensationally claimed that she is ‘rooting for Marcel Somerville and Gabby Allen to get back together’ on the show.
The former couple met on Love Island in 2017, but split a year later after he admitted to cheating on her when they were on a romantic holiday to Mexico together.
But the pair are set for one very awkward reunion when the All Stars series kicks off and despite Marcel’s infidelity, Maya shared her hopes for them to reunite.
She admitted: ‘I’m such a fan of both of them and that series was one of my favourites as well. I think Marcel is such a sweetheart, Gabby is just the loveliest human as well.
‘So, I’m kind of rooting for them to get back together, but who knows, they could end up in a cute friendship.

‘We’re not sure at this point but neither of them know the other’s going in, so that’s going to be just fireworks anyway.’
Gabby dumped Marcel after he slept with another woman in Mexico that he had met in the hotel bar.
The pair reportedly had argued during their time away together so Marcel chose to sneak out and meet up with another hotel guest.
A source said at the time: ‘They had a row one night so Gabby went back to their hotel room to sleep. Marcel started chatting to another woman at the bar where they kissed in full view of other guests.
‘Marcel and the girl slept together in her room and he left and went back to Gabby’s room, but promised to see her the following day when Gabby was at the gym.’
Now they will have to live in a villa together once more as they jet to South Africa for the new series.
Since Marcel, Gabby has had a series of relationships with the likes of Brandon Myers and Rak-Su singer Myles Stephenson.
Marcel meanwhile split from his wife Rebecca Vieira last year after it was reported she sent flirty texts to US rapper Slim Jxmmi behind his back. They share young son Roman.
The former couple met on Love Island in 2017 (pictured) but split a year later after he admitted to cheating on her when they were on a romantic holiday to Mexico together.
At the time Marcel, 39, who tied the knot with the model in August 2022, ‘moved out of their family home’ and deleted all traces of her on social media.
In May 2018 Marcel broke his silence following his sudden split from Gabby and confirmed that he did cheat on her, admitting it’s a decision he will ‘regret forever’.
Speaking to MailOnline a spokesperson for Marcel explained that the Blazin’ Squad star understood his wrongdoings and hoped that one day Gabby would forgive him.
His rep said at the time: ‘Sadly the rumours are true, Gabby and Marcel have split up. Marcel can’t really defend his actions as he knows he did wrong and will regret it forever.
‘Marcel is upset that he broke the heart of someone he loves and someone that he shared so many special moments with, but with all the good times there are difficult times, and sadly Marcel and Gabby had been in a bad place at this stage.
Adding: ‘Gabby was a special part of my Marcel’s life, and he hopes one day she can find it in herself to forgive him.
‘He knows what he did was wrong and is extremely sad about how he has hurt Gabby.’
