Highlighting her toned midriff, Maya completed the casual athletic look with chunky white trainers as she playfully swayed her hips for the camera. In her caption, she expressed gratitude to fans who visited Joe & The Juice locations to sample her new matcha creation.
'Ok I can't repost everyone but thankyou for all the tags I'm seeing them all smiling!' she wrote, adding humorously: 'Been running around on missions today dressed like a spice girl.'
Eighties-Inspired Marketing Campaign
This social media post followed Maya's dramatic transformation into an 1980s-style news reporter for the official drink launch campaign. The television presenter appeared almost unrecognisable after swapping her signature dark hair for a blonde wig and applying vibrant blue eyeshadow.
For the promotional shoot, Maya showcased her enviable figure in a striking white blazer paired with a matching pencil skirt, accessorised with hot pink high heels. She announced the collaboration on Instagram this Tuesday, sharing behind-the-scenes content including a spoof news report video promoting the beverage.
'I’ve got my own drink @joeandthejuice!! With my alt milk @sproud in too!' she captioned the announcement. 'Out nationwide tomorrow in all shops. Actually quite surreal to type that but I can’t wait for you all to taste it & I hope you love it as much as we do mental. (had so much fun & got well into character shooting this)'.
Drink Development Details
Maya elaborated on the creative process behind the matcha drink, explaining: 'I wanted to create something with JOE & THE JUICE that felt a bit different but still really on trend. The black sesame gives it that slightly nutty, savoury flavour and the collagen adds a little extra. I hope fellow matcha lovers fall for it just as much as I have!'
Acting Ambitions Revealed
Beyond her beverage venture, Maya recently disclosed her renewed aspirations to pursue acting professionally. The television personality, who gained widespread recognition after becoming Love Island host in 2022, confessed to experiencing 'a second wind of ambition' regarding her acting career.
Reflecting on earlier attempts to enter the industry, Maya admitted she 'wasn't as persistent as she should have been' after facing numerous rejections during auditions. 'I dreamt of being an actor when I was younger and would try and do all these auditions and would get loads of no's', she recalled.
Dream Roles and Netflix Project
Regarding her ideal acting opportunities, Maya expressed interest in portraying characters completely different from her public persona. 'My dream role is something completely opposite to me. I've always said I don't want to be what people expect me to be on camera. I'd want to be the complete opposite to that so a monster or a mean, evil person. A villain maybe would be nice', she told BBC interviewers.
This ambition is becoming reality as Maya prepares to appear in the second season of Guy Ritchie's Netflix series The Gentlemen. Reports indicate she will portray the glamorous wife of a shady associate connected to Theo James' lead character Eddie Horniman.
Filming commenced last year at the magnificent Badminton House in Gloucestershire, which serves as the fictional Halstead Manor within the series. A source revealed: 'Maya is over the moon to land a role in such a massive show with Guy Ritchie at the helm. The Gentlemen was one of 2024's biggest series and it's such a glossy, sexy show. It's a perfect fit.'
Social Media Teasers
Maya has subtly hinted at her Netflix involvement through social media posts earlier this year. She shared a photograph of a Netflix script followed by a cryptic image featuring herself alongside The Gentlemen star Kaya Scodelario, who plays mob boss Susie Glass in the crime drama.
Previously, the presenter posted a photograph of a Netflix-branded cup, suggesting possible meetings with the streaming giant, though her location remained unspecified at that time. These social media clues have generated considerable anticipation among her followers regarding her expanding entertainment career.
