Love Island host Laura Whitmore has opened up about the difficulties of being under intense scrutiny while helming the ITV2 dating show.
The 37-year-old Dub came under fire during the latest series of the show when 427 viewers complained to Ofcom following comments she made about Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu during an episode of Aftersun. Following a barrage of complaints through official channels and via social media, ITV producers declared they “do not condone trolling against our host or Islanders”.
Laura, who is a favourite to host the new Big Brother, has described the spotlight on her hosting Love Island as “exhausting and tough”. The Irish TV presenter labelled the focus on her “unfair”, particularly on social media, where she said that being a woman is “scary”, adding that men are not treated the same way.
