Love Island's Laura Whitmore wears Welsh jewellery designer's work on Aftersun

Laura Whitmore has returned to host a new series of Love Island: Aftersun and during Sunday's episode eagle-eyed viewers will have noticed that she was wearing a gold necklace sporting a shorthand insignia. The piece of jewellery was actually the work of a Welsh designer, Claire Hill.


Love Island hasn’t been short of Welsh connections in 2022, with Paige Thorne and Liam Llewellyn entering the villa last week, and it's an added bonus that the host is sporting some effortlessly chic Welsh-made items. Claire told WalesOnline that she was "beyond excited" at seeing Laura in the necklace. She added: "It's nice to see something that you designed yourself on TV."

The necklace’s insignia, when transcribed from shorthand (a system of taking down notes in a shortened, quick format) reads: “Love is Love”. Former Western Mail journalist Claire added: "I think Laura's great. There's a nice connection between the shorthand and what Love Island is all about."
