The Love Island host’s representative confirmed to Metro that season three filming on the gangster drama is the only reason she did not tape the post-match debrief with the rest of the cast. Uncloaked host Ed Gamble explained to BBC viewers that Jama was ‘away filming’ and ‘sends her apologies’, after Netflix confirmed that she would be returning to the Guy Ritchie caper. The Gentlemen started production on its third outing this month, with filming underway in the UK and Morocco, as part of a new storyline involving the construction of a casino in the Middle East. Jama plays the glamorous fixer Aisha, who made a brief appearance in the latest second season. She is set to be back in London today to host her VIP Halloween party in London. The question is, will King Kenny be invited? A big point of conversation at the annual bash will no doubt be Jama’s run as a Traitor in Ardross Castle, which was curtailed in the final episode by her fellow turret-dweller.

Speaking about Kenny’s decision after the final, Jama said: ‘I expected it. I knew that it was going to have to be one of us, and he was a lot more trusted at that time than me, and I felt like it would be selfish for me to expect him to try and save me when it was never going my way. ‘Although I didn’t expect Leigh-Anne [Pinnock] to vote for Romesh. If Kenny had known that, he could have jumped on that train as well.’ To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video ‘I knew that it was going to have to be one of us, and he was a lot more trusted at that time than me,’ Jama said of Kenny’s betrayal (Picture: BBC/Studio Lambert/Euan Cherry) Speaking about the demise of the turret – after they had seemed so impenetrable going into the final week – Jama added: ‘I don’t know how it crashed down so quickly. ‘I feel like the game of James [Acaster] not wanting to lie, me just trying to keep the vibes happy and Kenny playing as a Faithful couldn’t have lasted till the final. It was impossible. ‘I think maybe if I was a bit more savage, things could have gone a different way.’ Deals of the Day This Hoover vacuum is a game-changer for pet owners and muddy homes The wellbeing brand behind everyone's favourite candles has launched its biggest sale yet See London's Christmas lights from an open-top double-decker bus this winter My skin always suffers when the heating goes on but this serum changed that The skincare formula that finally took the guesswork out of my routine Celebrity Traitors is available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
