Laura Whitmore has broken her silence as Maya Jama is announced as the new host of Love Island. The former presenter of the hit ITV2 dating show reacted to the news as it was confirmed today (October 12) on the official Love Island Instagram page.
It comes after the 37-year-old revealed she would be leaving her role as host back in August, admitting that the gig was "very difficult". Fans of the hit reality TV programme were over the moon as show bosses uploaded a video clip to the social media platform earlier announcing the ex radio DJ's new job role, as reported by the Mirror.
The clip starts off with a close up of someone scrolling through their phone, looking at articles about who the new Love Island host could be while the signature theme tune plays in the background. As the camera zooms out, Maya Jama is revealed to be the one scrolling through the phone.
