Maya Jama hides ring finger with gloves during first TV appearance since engagement

Maya Jama gave nothing away regarding her rumoured engagement during her latest TV appearance.

The presenter, 27, looked stunning as she appeared on The John Bishop Show on Saturday night.

Her interview on the ITV show comes just weeks after it was reported boyfriend Ben Simmons popped the question over the festive period.

Any fans tuning in hoping to catch a glimpse of her rumoured wedding ring will have been left disappointed, with Maya opting to keep her hands covered up with some stylish gloves.

Looking stunning in a sexy leather pencil dress, the Glow Up host complimented the chic skin-tight suit with matching black leather gloves on Saturday.

Sharing some snaps of herself in the studio on Saturday afternoon, Maya teased fans about what will be discussed during her appearance on comedian John Bishop's talk show.

"Laughed my ass off on @johnbish100 show today," the Bristol-born babe captioned the fun pictures.

"Ended up refereeing a twerk off & spoke about some other bits it will be on ITV tonight at 9;30pm xxx."

Speculation Maya and US basketball star Ben had become engaged began on New Year's Eve - with reports that the Philadelphia 76ers player, 25, got down on one knee as the pair enjoyed Christmas at Ben's £3.7million mansion in Moorestown, New Jersey.

It's believed the couple, who went public with their romance earlier this year, only told close friends and family the happy news.

A source claiming to be close to the stars told The Sun last month : "Ben adores Maya and has fallen head over heels for her. He picked up the ring on Jewelers’ Row in the diamond district of Philadelphia the day before he proposed.

"He chose the ring himself and felt he knew exactly what she would want. Maya said yes and they’re both thrilled."

They went on to add that the sports star was "nervous" about asking for the stunning star's hand in marriage, as she turned down an ex's proposal in the past.

The insider also claimed the happy couple confirmed the news at a small family gathering over the festive period.

Maya is yet to confirm or deny the reports but was pictured Ben's home city, Philadelphia earlier this month, sporting a huge diamond ring which experts have valued at £600k ($800k).

The Mirror has contacted representatives for Maya Jama for comment in the past.

Maya and the NBA player went public with their relationship at Wimbledon last year.

Before becoming smitten with Ben, Maya dated British rapper Stormzy - breaking up in 2019.

The two British stars had been one of the most popular couples on the showbiz circuit prior to their shock split, with the former Radio One DJ moving out of their shared home shortly after her 25th birthday celebrations.
