Laura Whitmore has confessed that while she's looking forward to returning to hosting duties on Love Island, she's also "scared" about heading to Casa Amor.
The 11 contestants to first step into this year's "fresh villa" were announced on Monday and Laura, 37, will once again be on hend to present the popular ITV dating programme from a new location in Mallorca.
Among those ready to find love from next Monday include former England striker Michael Owen's daughter Gemma, a paramedic and dancer Tasha Ghouri, who will become the show's first ever deaf contestant.
According to bookmakers William Hill, Gemma and Welsh masters student Liam Llewellyn are already among the frontrunners to win the show, both with 11/4 odds.
Whitmore confessed she was particularly excited about entering the new villa as during the 2021 series she was only allowed into the garden area of the house due to Covid precautions.
