Maya Jama partied the night away at this year's National Television Awards, making sure to snap a selfie with her former 4music co-stars. With a busy year ahead, hosting ITV's reboot of Big Brother, AJ Odudu and Will Best appeared to let their hair down last night.
Love Island presenter Maya appeared to toast their success at the NTAs bash, filming herself as she sipped wine with the TV duo, her former colleagues. The three previously worked together on the entertainment news show Trending Live! on the 4Music channel. Jama, who has recently rekindled her love with rapper Stormzy, looked in high spirits as the group enjoyed a selection of drinks after Tuesday's TV ceremony. Filming a clip on her Instagram Story, Maya gushed over her 'OGs' as the trio reunited during the boozy bash.
"Oh my god... a lot of you don't know, but we were the OGs... a long time ago," Maya told her 2.9million followers. "And now we're up." Making a joke about Will's apparent absence from showbusiness, she quipped: "This one's been missing for about 20 years..."
Jokingly defending himself, and seemingly making a reference to Big Brother, Will added: "I've been busy, don't worry." The group go way back and it was when AJ and Will's Big Brother news was announced that Maya first re-referenced 4music.
"YES YES YES @ajadudu @iamwillbest Iconic and necessary... 4Music to here," she penned on Instagram at the time. Since that show, AJ has gone onto present The Voice, The Big Breakfast and co-presented Big Brother's Bit on the Side. Will previously presented Got to Dance: Auditions Uncut, a spin-off of the dancing competition Got to Dance and also appeared several times on Big Brother's Bit on the Side. AJ and Maya have continued to jet off on girls' holidays ahead of her ITV Big Brother gig.

Television's most glamorous night saw fan-favourite stars fill up London's O2 Arena to receive well-deserved awards.
Comedian Joel Dommett hosted the evening as the likes of The Traitors, Happy Valley, Paul O'Grady: For The Love of Dogs, Gogglebox, and The 1% Club took home awards. Unsurprisingly, Ant and Dec took home yet another gong when they won the Best Presenter award for the 22nd year in a row.
In between the awards, there were several moments that left viewers at home shocked as they took to social media to discuss the jokes and awkward silences. Before a winner was even named, things got awkward as host Joel gave This Morning a shout out – saying "everyone loves" the ITV show – only for the room to be filled with a chorus of boos.
