Whitmore hosted ITV2’s original attempt at a winter edition of Love Island called Survival of the Fittest.
Whitmore, who is in a relationship with the reality show’s narrator Iain Stirling, wrote on Instagram: “To say I’m excited to be heading to Cape Town to host Love Island, the biggest show on television, is an understatement.
Laura Whitmore has been announced as the new Love Island presenter after Caroline Flack quit the show following her arrest for assault. Flack was arrested on Thursday 12 December after an altercation with her boyfriend Lewis Burton at their shared Islington home.
