Maya Jama has arrived back in London after appearing to have a blazing row with partner Stormzy in an alleyway in Los Angeles.

The Love Island host, 29, and rapper, 30, were photographed in LA over the weekend when they appeared to have a fight, according to The Sun.

Stormzy was seen waving his arms around while Maya stood with her arms crossed in the street, looking unimpressed.

An onlooker told The Sun that the couple were in downtown LA the day after they landed and Stormzy "seemed pretty annoyed about something".

"Stormzy was raising his voice and waving his hands around for a good ten minutes," the witness said.

"Eventually Stormzy went over and put his arm over her shoulders. They had a quick hug and then walked off but Maya looked pretty upset.”

Afterwards the pair seemed to make up, walking hand in hand, but in one photograph Maya appeared to be wiping away a tear.

Stormzy is in the US filming a new music video and Maya had apparently joined her beau for a short trip.

She was spotted on the set of the music video smiling and playing with Stormzy's jacket.

On Monday she took to Instagram to tell her followers she had arrived home to London after "the quickest trip ever".

The television presenter and singer got back together around a year ago following Maya's split from Australian basketball player Ben Simmons, but have kept the rekindled relationship private.

They first met in October 2014 and began to date in January the following year, before splitting in 2019.

The loved-up couple enjoyed a lavish summer holiday in Greece this August.

Maya Jama will be hosting Love Island’s international spin-off, Love Island Games, in November.

The spin-off show will bring together former Islanders from the UK, US and Australian series for a second shot at love and to compete to be crowned the champion.

Meanwhile Stormzy recently performed a secret gig to an audience of 500 in Liverpool.

Earlier this month he was among thousands of mourners at an emotional candlelit vigil for 15-year-old stabbing victim Elianne Andam.

Crowds dressed in white gathered outside Whitgift Shopping Centre in Croydon to pay their respects to the teenager, who was stabbed to death at the same spot.
