ITV Love Island host Laura Whitmore claps back at calls for her to be 'sacked' and being branded 'boring' and 'too old'

Love Island presenter Laura Whitmore took to Instagram to share a video addressing nasty comments she receives about her job ahead of the new series starting tonight (Monday June 6) on ITV2. The 37-year-old star, who has hosted the show since 2020, wrote: "Shall we get this out of the way, then we can enjoy the juicy bits! See ya Monday."

Laura, who is married to the show's narrator Iain Stirling, clapped back at viewers calling for her to be 'sacked' and labelling her 'boring.' She also addressed her pay and another message branded her 'too old' to present the dating show which sees singles couple-up in the sun while living together in a villa in Mallorca.

At the start of the video, to a soundtrack of the Fatboy Slim song Love Island while sipping from one of the show's famous water bottles, she wrote: "Shall we chat Love Island? These are all actual things that have been written or said." Laura started with a comment that said: "I think its ridiculous that Laura flies back and forth - send the guests there!"
