Laura Whitmore left 'terrified' by new job after quitting Love Island

Laura Whitmore has admitted she's 'slightly terrified' by her first major job since announcing her shock departure as Love Island presenter.

Laura, who had been hosting the ITV dating show since the start of 2020, blindsided fans when she took to Instagram, just weeks after this year's Love Island final, to announce that she was quitting the role. Writing next to a photo of her on camera heading into the villa, Laura wrote: "I won’t be hosting the next series of Love island. 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.

"I wish it was still possible but know you’ll be in safe hands. I was only planning to fill in for Caroline for a series and it turned into 3 series."
