Laura is one busy lady recently, having just wrapped on this year’s Love Island, which we now know to be her last, she also recently announced that she will be making her West End debut in the critically-acclaimed psychological thriller 2:22.
When announcing her departure from Love Island Laura explained that with her schedule flying back and forth was not going to work.
“There are certain elements of the show I’ve found very difficult that cannot be changed some due to the format, including the flying back and forth to South Africa along with my new conflicting projects.

“I hope I did you proud Caroline,” she said.
She was inundated with messages of support from her pals, including many former Islanders who praised her skills.

While Dami Hope commented, “You were honestly the best, killed it every time.”
Faye Winter said: “She really would be proud! You done incredibly,” and Shaughna Phillips wrote, “You absolutely did! Going to miss you!”

“Sadly Laura Whitmore has chosen to leave Love Island. Laura has been a fantastic host across the last three series’ of the show. We’re so grateful for everything she has brought to the programme but understand and respect her decision, and we look forward to working with her on upcoming ITV projects.”
