Laura Whitmore and Oti Mabuse are to host two new weekend talk shows, ITV has announced. They will lead separate unnamed series, which will cover lifestyle and entertainment, with each show featuring a compelling combination of celebrity guests and topical chats, when they air on ITV1 and ITVX this year.
Former Love Island host Whitmore, who ended her run during the last series of the reality dating show and has since been replaced by Maya Jama, will host her show on Sunday mornings. In July, she also announced that she would step down from her BBC Radio 5 Live show, which aired weekly on Sunday mornings.
The 37-year-old is currently filming an investigative documentary programme called Laura Whitmore Investigates for ITV and recently took to the West End stage in the play 2:22 A Ghost Story. Mabuse, a judge on ITV’s Dancing On Ice since 2022 and panellist on The Masked Dancer, will debut her chat show on Saturday mornings.
