ITV Love Island host Laura Whitmore debuts new look before getting in hot water with viewers

Laura Whitmore debuted a new look as she returned to screens to try and make sense of another week of drama in the Love Island video. The ITV2 dating show's host took to her Instagram Stories on Sunday (July 10) to unveil her new look prior to taking to the hot seat on spin-off, Aftersun.

Last week viewers saw Laura enter the villa for one of the most dramatic recoupling's yet as the contestants reunited following Casa Amor. The Irish TV star was seen rocking long pink locks as she returned to Majorca to find out which couples would stick, and who would twist following the show's annual test.

But as she jetted back to the UK, Laura opted for a change before her latest TV appearance with her hair now being styled into a trendy long bob. Taking to Instagram, the 37-year-old videoed herself in a personalised Love Island satin robe as her hairstylist got to work.

He was seen cutting her blonde locks before styling them into lose waves around her face before she was shown to be sporting freshly-cut curtain bangs. She then later posted a picture of Margot Robbie with short wavy hair and a fringe, confirming her as the inspiration for her changed look.

"I blame Margot..." she wrote alongside the snap of the Australian actress and producer. Taking to her main grid, Laura was soon showing off her hair in all its glory as she got glam for Aftersun. Donning a black and white spotted playsuit, the mum-of-one pulled a series of posed for the camera before captioning: " Snip snip!"

However, she was soon coming under fire from viewers as she muddled through an update on the current Love Island couples. As she listed the pairings, Laura stumbled on the names and admitted that she gets "confused" with the contestants' names.

She then said: "I get confused because they used to be together and now they're not," before carrying on with the show as usual. But it didn't pass viewers by. @uncle_pep tweeted: "Why is Laura Whitmore struggling with the couple names I mean it's your show what’s wrong lady? #LoveIsland."

@02b7ce9b698140d commented: "Does Laura even watch the show? didn't know their names?? #aftersun #LoveIsland." @JadeneAngela said: "Not Laura forgetting the contestants names on after sun."
