Maya Jama feels “posh” because she has a cleaner.
Maya Jama
The 26-year-old model-and-presenter does “the basics” around the house such as washing dishes, but employs someone to come into her home to do the rest of the chores, even though she worries she’s becoming a “lazy bum”.
She said: “I have a cleaner. I feel so posh. I can do the basics – the standard Hoover, the mop situation, washing the dishes – but the extra bits like the windows, dusting, folding of clothes…
“This is making me sound like such a lazy bum.”
But one domestic duty that Maya obsesses over is regularly changing her sheets.
She admitted to Observer magazine: “I change my bed sheets three times a week. I’m paranoid that if I have dirty hair, it’ll get into my face and give me spots.
“The best way to change a duvet cover is to turn the sheet inside out, pinch the two corners, flick the sheet over the duvet and jump up and down.”
When she isn’t working, Maya admitted she doesn’t make a lot of effort with her appearance.
She admitted: “I don’t do my hair and makeup unless I’m working. There’s a massive contrast between when the hair and makeup people help me and my own slicked up ponytail. On Sundays I look like Stig of the Dump.”
The former Radio 1 DJ loves to indulge in a “perfect roast” on a Sunday, but doesn’t cook it herself.
She said: “On a Sunday I’ll Deliveroo the chicken from one place, the roast potatoes from another, and create my own perfect roast.”
