Maya Jama reveals off her legs and Somali roots at Notting Hill Carnival

Maya Jama cut a radiant figure as she joined the excited crowd packing out the streets in colourful outfits for Notting Hill Carnival’s ‘family day’.

The Love Island host, 30, was spotted making her way past her fellow festival goers, while carrying a drink and enjoying the party on Portobello Road.

Notting Hill is one of the longest-running street parties in the UK and celebrates Caribbean culture with vividly costumed performers taking part in a parade through the streets with dancing and music.

The presenter displayed her always impeccable style, while also giving a nod to her Somali heritage, in her custom Connor Ives outfit.

Maya wore a blue shirred minidress made from a Somali Adidas shirt, with an added white skirt, leaving her long legs on full display.

The radio DJ teamed it with a simple pair of matching blue trainers and several gold bracelets, with stylish hoop earrings. 

Her dark hair was left down in her natural curls and styled with an intricate braid plaited across the top of her head.

Maya joined the revellers watching on as floats and hundreds of performers wearing vibrant costumes processed through streets in west London for the annual celebration of Caribbean culture.

An estimated two million people are expected to attend the festival, one of the largest of its kind, over the weekend.

Another famous face spotted in amongst the crowd on Sunday was Craig David, who surprised attendees with an unexpected street performance.

In a video he shared on Instagram, the singer, 43, took over the mic to perform his classic 2000 hit 7 Days.

He captioned the post: ‘When 7 Days meets Taxi Riddim. As soon as I heard that sound system my inner child took over and in that moment I knew exactly the assignment.’

The garage star was seen walking down the street at first when he noticed a small stand with a mic and headed over to begin singing.

A small crowd soon gathered around him as people began to realise that it was the famous artist singing and many began to video him.

Fans were quick to show their shock at the impromptu performance as they wrote under his post: ‘Bro If I see Craig just vibing on the street like that…wtf.’,

‘Aw how cool is this vibe …. Saweeeeet!!!; Okkkk I think we need a whole album in this vibe sir…; oooooo this crazy.’

Maya’s fun-filled day out comes off the heels of a busy few weeks for the star, as she marked her 30th with a number of celebrations over her ‘birthday month’.
