It tops a storming few months for Maya, 30, after The Sun revealed she had landed an acting role in Netflix’s The Gentlemen.
A source said: “Maya is absolutely red-hot right now and she’s been able to really diversify when it comes to projects.
“The latest discussions have been with Prime Video over an entertainment show.
“Amazon’s streamer has made strong moves into reality with Clarkson’s Farm and Molly Mae’s series but so far haven’t explored shiny-floor, entertainment programming, so Maya would be part of that.
“The show, which is exploring family connections, might not be the project they press ahead with for Maya but the interest to work with her is there.”
It would not be Maya’s first job with Prime Video.
In 2019 she appeared at the Twitch Prime Crown Cup eSports event, below, as part of the firm’s Prime Day — an annual week of huge deals, which this year ran from Tuesday until midnight today.
Maya has a rolling contract with ITV2’s Love Island so would not make any decisions around remaining on the dating show until later this year.
But she has signed up to appear as a panellist on ITV ratings hit The Masked Singer for a second series.
Love Island’s current series is also gaining pace, with an average 2.5 million viewers tuning in as the action reaches the infamous Casa Amor relationship test.
In May, Maya said of appearing in Guy Ritchie’s crime saga The Gentlemen: “Gassed is an understatement.”
She plays the wife of an acquaintance of lead character Eddie Horniman (Theo James).
Maya, dating Manchester City’s Ruben Dias, spent several days filming in Gloucestershire.
She previously had a small role in Katherine Ryan’s 2020 comedy-drama The Duchess.
