The star has been snapped up by L’Oreal Paris as ‘Elvive’s Chief Gloss Officer’ for a lucrative new ad campaign.
Uma appears in a fancy advert for the beauty giant and has bagged a hefty pay packet as a result.
Maya, meanwhile, is a global brand ambassador for rival company Rimmel London.
Announcing her signing on Instagram, Uma wrote: “BREAKING NEWS!
“I’m so excited to officially announce that I’ve joined the @lorealparis family as Elvive’s Chief Gloss Officer!
“No calls will go unanswered and no strand left dull, because I’m on a mission to bring you the glossiest hair of your life!✨✨
“This has been such an amazing journey for me!
“Representing the Glycolic Gloss range feels like a dream come true- glossy, glowing hair and skin have always been my passion, and now I get to share that love with all of you 💕.”
Uma went on to explain that she admires L’Oreal Paris for “its powerful commitment to women’s empowerment, diversity, and sustainability“.
She added: “It’s an honour to be aligned with such meaningful values and to be part of a brand that truly inspires me.”
Uma joked with fans to start addressing her as “CGO”.
The star has been flooded with messages of congratulations from both fans and her showbiz pals.
Love Island star Catherine Agbaje wrote: “Loveeee 😍😍😍 shiny hair for the win.”
Fellow alumni Matilda Draper added: “SO PROUD OF YOU.”
And her boyfriend and former Love Island co-star, Wil Anderson, told Uma: “Absolutely love it 👏🏼👏🏼🤩🤩.”
Uma appeared on last year’s series of Love Island as a bombshell but ended up quitting the show.
She left after Wil was dumped from the villa and they have since moved in together.
Uma was working as a VIP host and model at the time and admitted she had been single her entire life.
In February, The Sun also revealed Uma was in talks for a new television gig.
Uma had met with BBC bosses with a view to appear on Celebrity MasterChef.
A source said at the time: “Uma is a great get for the show, as not only is she stunning, she’s also funny and will appeal to younger viewers.
“It’s also the perfect next step for her career as it introduces her to a whole new audience who may not be familiar with her from Love Island.”
