Laura Whitmore Confirms She Will Not Be Returning To Love Island After Three Years As Host

Laura Whitmore has announced she will not be returning to host Love Island when it returns to our screens next year.

The Irish presenter took over as host in 2020, amid her predecessor Caroline Flack’s legal issues at that time.

Since then, she has fronted three seasons of the ITV2 reality show, but confirmed on Monday night that she will not be hosting the next series of Love Island, which will take place in South Africa early next year.

“There are certain elements of the show I’ve found very difficult that cannot be changed some due to the format, including the flying back and forth to South Africa along with my new conflicting projects,” she wrote on Instagram.

“I wish it was still possible but know you’ll be in safe hands.”

Referring to her late friend Caroline Flack, Laura added: “I was only planning to fill in for Caroline for a series and it turned into three series. I hope I did you proud Caroline.”
