Laura Whitmore quits Love Island

[FiloPasty]

I know lots of you think it’s drivel, but it’s news!

Any guesses on the new host? I’m hoping for Maura :)

Good, she was rubbish.

Re Jane Middlemiss you're not allowed to be over a certain age and be on telly. This with knobs on if you are a woman

Odd though that she went into radio when, say, Davina McCall continued presenting. Jayne did Aftersun having won series 1 and Brenda was series 2 but I had forgotten most of it including Fran Cosgrave/Callum Best winning.
No idea which pretty young thing should host now but Maura (copped off with Curtis? and Gio?) doesn't appeal. I am not the demographic though. 0

Or rather, I'd change the show to be more about piercing egos and criticising duckfaces. Can we have Alison Hammond?!

If it’s Rylan I won’t watch, can’t stand him!

Emily Atack would be a good replacement

I would like more normal people not just blue tick chasers but I guess the same thing happened with Big Brother as it became bigger and contestants began to chase fame.

I quite liked the original version with celeb contestants.

Oh yes I remember this well! Pure TV gold but remember feeling really sorry for her, she hadn't worked out the game at all had she.

She was a profession TV presenter for years and she had tonnes of experience.

I am showing my age - allegedly, Jayne Middlemiss and Anthony Costa were reserves for Dancing on Ice last year. I had at least heard of them, unlike who took part.
Ooh, can we have Lady Leshur present LI? Love her.

The original LI was great to watch. I've looked for it everywhere to watch it again but no luck.

I would like Maya Jama.
Please replace Ian Stirling with Rob Beckett.
He is hilarious on Celebs go dating.
Reckon Laura was given the push,alot of negative comments online for her.

The show should end, before any more contestants are bullied, or anyone else who is a former contestant commit or attempt to commit suicide.

@SequinsandStilettos Off topic, but I saw Lady Leshurr live a couple of years back and she was AMAZING really funny and charismatic.

I quite fancy someone like Brian Dowling or Rylan who's been on reality TV but has been presenting for a bit. Interesting to have both sides of the coin.

Off topic but this makes me think if Jermaine Jenis on The One Show. Totally out of his depth and what presenting experience does an ex-footballer have? It gives me the rage.

Instead of Ian Stirling I’d like Mo Gillian. There are quite a few women I think would be good, Denise Van Outen (not the demographic) but I think she’s empathetic but cheeky.

Brian Dowling would be fab.

im so happy that other people remember the whole Lee Sharpe/Abi Titmus/Jane Middlemiss debacle. I can’t think about JM now without thinking about that!

Original Temptation Island anyone? No? I’ll get my coat 😬

Yes please Rob Beckett for voiceover - in fact if it could be an extension of parenting hell and he could share it with Josh Widdecombe that would be amazing.

Sarah Pascoe for presenter and ideally a no-surgery rule for contestants.

Oh god no. The most annoying person ever

In an ideal world? Kathy Burke, Liza Tarbuck, Daisy May Cooper.

In reality? Maura would be ok I think. She comes across well in the programmes she’s been on and was quite lovely in Glow Up.

L’il Sameh T? No thank you. Not sad about LW.

Great news, she was so wick & really lacks the confidence needed. Maura would fit the bill - no back doors in her & no topic would make her uncomfortable, she's perfect for it!

I believe Laura is off to do a nightly west end play from sept - ghost story 222, the one that Lily Allen was in - so maybe can't do theatre and love island at the same time?

Aj Odudu
Emily Atack
Maya Jama

My slightly out there suggestion is Scarlett Moffat

Well she was shite at it so it’s probably best.

I’d be ok with Ekin or Maura. I can’t really think of any presenters who’d be great at it.

I like the idea upthread of Rob Beckett for the voiceover!

Rob Beckett does the voiceover for celebs go dating.
David Attenborough would be soothing ‘here we have Luca, the self presumed alpha, he sells fish’.
