Maya Jama fans all say the same thing as Love Island star and brother make Gogglebox debut

Love Island host and ITV star Maya Jama appeared with her brother Omar on last night's Celebrity Gogglebox. The pair made their "wild" debut on the Channel 4 hit show, alongside a slew of familiar faces from the UK.

Omar, 28, is Maya's younger brother, and although the pair remain close despite Maya's meteoric rise to fame, the Bristolian is a star in his own right. Having followed Maya's lead and made his way into showbiz, Omar has modelled for some huge brands, including Celine, Etro Fashion and Portuguese Soul.

The siblings teased their Gogglebox appearance on social media, appearing together to tell Maya's 3.2 million followers that they would be on the show. Sitting next to her brother, Maya, 30, told the camera: "Hi everyone. It's Maya and my brother Omar.

"We are so excited to be on Gogglebox this Friday 9pm. Make sure you tune in and hear us chatting absolute rubbish."

Omar added: "Yeah, we'll be there, will you?" She captioned the clip: "Me an my brother are on gogglebox tonight! Hoping they edited out most of the wild stuff that out of our mouths Loo but how funnn."

Fans were blown away by their similarities, with one writing: "Male version I swear. Trippy." Another commented: "Wow they look so much alike."

Another added that they were hoping to catch her with her Man City star boyfriend penning: "We wanted Ruben Dias." Someone else joked that they were torn over what to put on, replying: "Oh god, how's this gonna work then dying to know what happens on Love Island tonight, and now you're on my other fav gogglebox. Catch up it is, but which one?"
