Love Island's Laura Whitmore has responded to claims that she earns £744 per second for her time on the ITV2 dating show. The presenter's salary has long been the subject of debate, as viewers have claimed she has a limited role in the series.
Following a report from The Sun about her salary, Laura wrote on Instagram stories: "£744 a second! I feel sorry for whoever was made to attempt the ridiculous maths based on nothing but speculation," before joking: "Lads I've made 10k whilst writing this story!" The aforementioned report claimed that Laura has earned £600,000, despite only appearing on Love Island for 14 minutes.
She then reposted one of her TikTok videos where she hit back at comments accusing her of having the "easiest job on the telly" and "gets paid 50K a minute". She accompanied the video with the text: "Firstly, Iain (Stirling, her husband and co-host) has never had any attention on money he earns. Why don't we like women earning money? I bloody wish I earned what was written in the press. I only get paid on days I work."
