Laura Whitmore has stood down as Love Island host, after three years in the coveted TV role, citing 'very difficult' elements of the show as the reason why.
Laura took over from Caroline Flack, who quit her 'dream job' at the end of 2019, months before her death. Laura presented the one and only Winter Love Island to date in January 2020, before going onto host the summer series in 2021, after the show was cancelled for a year and then the hit ITV2 show's most recent run, which was won at the start of August by Ekin-Su and Davide.
Laura announced her departure from Love Island, ahead of the next series in South Africa, in an Instagram post, which also saw her pay tribute to dear friend and predecessor Caroline.
