In response to Fogarty’s comments, Love Island presenter Laura Whitmore tweeted: “To the presenter on @lbc now – making a comment implying all love island contestants are stupid and not smart and actually said if I have to hear them talking ‘shoot me now’ I think is highly inappropriate no?
Defending Love Island, Whitmore said: “The problem wasn’t the show, the show to work on is loving and caring and safe and protected.
Speaking about her experience of watching Love Island, Fogarty said: “[It] has made me a bit uncomfortable and it has made me a bit sad.
On Sunday morning (16 February) Whitmore paid tribute to her friend Caroline Flack in a tearful radio appearance, after the former Love Island presenter was found dead at her London flat.
