Not feeling blue! Maya Jama was posing up a storm on Monday as she wowed in a chic blue dress ahead of her appearance on Would I Lie To You
Maya looked sensational in her chic blue dress as she leaned forward on steps outside the studio, while showing her cleavage and legs.
She then got snap happy in the studio while sitting on the panel and beaming.
Her latest slew of snaps comes after Maya used her profile for good by urging fans to book their smear tests after suffering complications through delaying her own.
Addressing her Instagram followers earlier this month, the presenter and radio host revealed that she has suspected cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) as a result of putting off her test for a year.

CIN is an abnormal changes of the cells that line the cervix and does not cause any symptoms, so is unlikely to be discovered without a smear test.
Discussing the news with her followers, Maya announced: ‘It’s very rare I get serious but I don’t see it talked about enough. Girls, if you haven’t done already, go and get your smear test.
‘I know it seems butters and uncomfortable and awkward but it’s not that bad and it’s so important. I’ve just had to get my second one because I left it a year for my second check-up. You’ve just got to check on these things.’
After being inundated with messages from fans, the Don’t Hate the Playaz star elaborated on her experience.

She continued: ‘As some of you know I find it hard to be serious about anything but I might as well tell you what’s going on because I’m getting so many messages from loads of people saying, “I’ve been putting it off”…
‘There’s these things – I’m not a doctor, probably not the right terminology – but I think they’re called “CINs”, and he thinks I have CINtwo.
‘So the first one is fine, [with] CIN two you have cells that you need to monitor and then the third is cancerous stuff or will become cancerous.
‘So when I went today, he took a biopsy, so like a little bit inside of me, and that’ll get sent off and I’ll find out.’

She added: ‘You basically have to monitor these things and it’s better you catch it sooner rather than later so it doesn’t go into something else.
‘Just get checked, don’t put it off, it’s minor. They’re professional doctors, they’ve seen a million fannies, they’re not going to be shocked by any.
I know that’s a weird thought because I always thought like, “Oh my God, they’re gonna see my noon”, but it’s just minor.’
Later in the day, Maya revealed she was overwhelmed with the impact her message had on her followers.
Maya – who recently replaced Stacey Dooley as host of BBC Three’s Glow Up: Britain’s Next Make Up Star – spoke out about the response while getting to work on her new show.
She wrote: ‘Thank you for your messages, can’t reply to all but seeing how many of you have now booked to get the smear because of my stories is so good!’

Earlier this month, a senior MP and charity warned that cancellation of cervical cancer checks because of Covid pressures is putting women’s lives at risk,
Tory MP Caroline Nokes, who chairs the Women and Equalities Select Committee, said that check-up cancellations and women’s fears of attending GP clinics during the pandemic could mean up to 600,000 women miss out on getting a smear test.
She warned against women’s medical issues being ‘pushed to the back of the proverbial queue’.
During the first national lockdown, smear test services were paused in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland as well as in some practices in England. The Jo’s Cervical Cancer Trust charity estimated 600,000 fewer tests than normal were carried out last April and May.
Women are invited to have smear tests every three years between the ages of 25 and 49, and then every five years until they reach 65.

Jo’s Cervical Cancer Trust said: ‘While it is not ideal if you can’t get a test, and you may be feeling worried, cervical cancer takes many years, not months, to develop and remains rare.
‘It’s unlikely that it would develop in the time that your appointment is delayed. If you think you’re experiencing symptoms of cervical cancer, whether you are waiting for a test, up to date, or have never been, contact your GP.’
A spokesman for the NHS said: ‘The NHS guidance that cervical screening should continue has not changed and this has been communicated to GP practices.’
