Laura Whitmore's Love Island exit prompts statement from ITV bosses

Love Island bosses have issued a statement in response to Laura Whitmore quitting as the show's host, saying they 'respect her decision.'

Irish star Laura has been the presenter of the hit ITV dating series for three years, being given the job after Caroline Flack quit the role at the end of 2019. She was at the helm of the first Winter Love Island in South Africa just a month later and has since gone onto host two consecutive summer series, after the show was scrapped in 2020 due to Covid.

Just weeks ago, Laura, wife of Love Island narrator Iain Stirling, was at the helm of this year's Love Island final, which was won by Ekin-Su and Davide but on Monday night she confirmed she won't be back for the first of two Love Island series next year, when it returns to South Africa.
