Following Laura Whitmore announcing her decision to quit hosting Love Island, fans have already been chipping in with their suggestions for suitable replacements. Having been at the helm for three years, ITV bosses will now be on the search for a new face of the hit dating series.
However, Whitmore’s Instagram statement suggests the decision over her replacement may have already been made, adding: “I wish it was still possible but know you’ll be in safe hands." With ITV also yet to announce who will be presenting the eagerly-anticipated return of Big Brother, many of the same names have immediately been linked to this new gig.
Both established TV presenters and former Love Island contestants have been touted to be the third incumbent of the hosting role, after Whitmore and Caroline Flack. Whoever lands the role will have two series to look forward to next year, with a winter edition in South Africa being added to the traditional summer slot.
