ローラ・ホイットモアが友人のキャロライン・フラックをラブ・アイランドのホステスとして丁寧に引き継いだとき、彼女はITVの輝く星の一人としての地位を固めました。
テレビやラジオ番組での走りから離れ、ソーシャルメディアで自分の意見を表現することで大胆になって以来、観客は私に興味を失っているように感じます。今日、私がしている仕事は、現実のテレビの栄光の時代から少し離れています。
彼女はMTVでエンターテインメントレポーターとしてキャリアを始めましたが、アイルランドのホストは、論争の問題について彼女の意見を表明することをためらいませんでした。実際、彼女はラブアイランドを去った後、ITVの幹部を公に批判しました。
さらに、彼女は2021年に子供を歓迎した後、アイルランドのジャーナリストとの紛争に関与していることに気づきました。
過去に、ローラはBBC Radio 5 Liveで人気のある朝食プログラムを開催しました。最近では、彼女は夫のイアン・スターリングと一緒に、あまり広く見られない真の犯罪ポッドキャストを発表しています。
一方、彼女はソーシャルプラットフォームでのステージパフォーマンスを紹介していますが、おそらくラブアイランドのホストから得た大きな給料を彼女に提供していないでしょう。


2020年から2022年にかけて、ホストはITVシリーズをリードしましたが、後にプログラムを去ることを決め、彼女が自分の立場でより多くの自律性を与えられた場合、彼女はそれをホストし続けるだろうと述べました。
ローラには豊富な1200万ポンドがありますが、ラブアイランドのホストとして受け取った補償と比較して、劇場の仕事からの収入が大幅に低いことは明らかです。しかし、ローラは、ショーで彼女の時間に印象的な60万ポンドを支払われたという主張に反論しました。
ステージ上の専門家によると、ステージパフォーマーの毎週の収益は、視聴者のサイズによって異なるため、最大約1,430ポンドの範囲です。
今年の初めに、彼女のプライムビデオシリーズは、私の仲間も1つのシリーズの後にxされました。
2019年、ラブアイランドのナレーターであり、全国のコメディアンツアーであるローラの配偶者イアンは、自分でかなりの収入をもたらしていました。彼の会社であるStirling Limitedの記録は、その年に年間利益として約540,245ポンドを獲得したことを明らかにしました。
昨年ラブアイランドを去って以来、ローラはショーの経営陣を公然と批判し、2022年に彼女の出発の原因を公に開示しています。
その時点で、彼女は告白しました。
彼女はショーの制作中に中立性を維持することが難しいと感じたことを認め、時にはヴィラの出来事について自分の考えを表現する傾向があると告白し、彼らのヴィラの経験の後に競技者の幸福について尋ねる。


Psychologies Magazineとのインタビューで、Lauraはホストとして、彼女の役割は限られていると述べました。
It was tough for me since I prefer keeping the dialogue going, but it seems we need to maintain silence instead.
‘If I could [have done] things the way I wanted to, I’d probably still be doing it.’
After Caroline’s passing in 2020, Laura has strongly adopted the “Be Kind” philosophy, vigorously criticizing online bullies. This stance has caused some television executives to question her professional dependability.
2021 saw her respond critically to an Irish journalist who had inquired about her daughter’s name through her representatives.
Initially, Katie Hind of The Mail penned down: ‘Walsh expressed her intention to write an article speculating that the child was named after Stevie Nicks, the lead vocalist of Fleetwood Mac, and sought Whitmore‘s response on the matter.’
Instead of replying privately to Walsh, Whitmore publicly responded on her social media platforms with a heated comment, including a snapshot of the original request from Walsh.
Whitmore expressed: ‘Disgusting. It seems my representative got the following email… Niamh Walsh, I’m confident you have more crucial matters to address than speculating a child’s name and compelling someone to discuss it, regardless of the outcome! I’ll discuss my child at my own pace when I see fit.’
Instead of what Whitmore advocated in her radio dedication to Caroline Flack – kindness, respect, and consideration towards others – let me rephrase it this way: Listeners, please show empathy, treat others with dignity, and remember that the way you act towards them is solely your responsibility.
Additionally, Laura became embroiled in the controversy involving Strictly Come Dancing’s professional dancer Giovanni Pernice, when his celebrity partner Amanda Abbington asserted that her experience working with him led to Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
Earlier in 2016, Laura initially voiced her worries about the show, and just recently in August, she leveled accusations against the BBC for what she perceived as a form of manipulation or psychological control, termed ‘gaslighting,’ regarding her experiences with partner Giovanni.




2018 saw Laura expressing that she hadn’t found pleasure in her Strictly journey alongside Giovanni. She departed the contest in week seven, expressing feelings of being shattered, and confessed to weeping daily.
Nevertheless, the investigation conducted by the BBC ended up clearing Giovanni on ten out of sixteen accusations in September. As a result, senior executives from the channel issued an apology.
Over the past weekend, I commemorated the anniversary of Caroline’s departure by publicly sharing our heartfelt messages that we exchanged in the moments leading up to her transition.
Actress Caroline tragically took her own life at her residence in North East London on February 15, 2020, when she was only 40 years old. Her death was later confirmed as a suicide during an investigation conducted in August of the same year.
Laura posted a throwback photo of them together, along with their last messages.
The messages exchanged between the two hosts, sent shortly before Caroline’s unfortunate demise, revealed the profound affection and reverence they held for one another.
In a text message, Caroline, who goes by ‘Flacky’ in Laura’s phone contacts, conveyed her wish that Laura might assume Caroline’s position on Love Island following Caroline’s decision to resign after being arrested on suspicion of assault.
She wrote: ‘I hope you are doing the job… I wouldn’t want it to be anyone else.’
Laura responded by expressing that the message was “really pleasant” and went on to share that she had spoken with some producers, however, nothing has been officially set in stone as of yet.
After securing the part, Laura confided in Caroline about it prior to its announcement and vowed to put forth an exceptional effort to honor it appropriately.
Caroline simply replied with a red heart emoji and said: ‘I’m glad it’s you.’
In late 2019, Laura replaced Caroline as the host of Love Island. However, she relinquished her position following the 2022 season, and since then, Maya Jama has assumed the role.
In a heartfelt comment accompanying the post, Laura expressed her appreciation for Caroline’s support, sharing that their emotional farewell conversation had left quite an impact on her.
She wrote that this month, she received a new phone, and while attempting to download WhatsApp messages from the cloud, numerous old messages resurfaced – ones she believed were gone for several years. This unexpected discovery left her quite emotional.
Examining personal, previously unshared messages, I find that they reveal an appealing aspect of Caroline. It’s heartening to recall these moments, so I choose to share them now.
I may not have known Caroline as intimately as some, and she wasn’t flawless, but it was clear to me that she grappled with inner struggles. My encounter with Caroline transpired in 2011 when I assumed her hosting duties for the show “I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!”
In this revised version:
* “She wasn’t perfect” becomes “she wasn’t flawless.”
* “I didn’t know her as well as others” is changed to “I may not have known Caroline as intimately as some.”
* “I met Caroline in 2011 when I took over from her hosting I’m a celebrity get me out of here now” becomes “My encounter with Caroline transpired in 2011 when I assumed her hosting duties for the show ‘I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!’
Back then, she was just as enthusiastic about me taking on that role as she was when she backed me for Love Island in 2020.
Both exhibited top-notch quality, as they each involved numerous team members who counted on their success for their livelihood.
“I’ll forever cherish our recent conversations with Caroline. I never inquired about her court case as it wasn’t relevant to me. At that time, and even now, I had no acquaintance with her partner.
Later on, Laura disclosed that she chose not to participate in the forthcoming Disney+ documentary centered around the late television personality.
She mentioned that each time she’s been invited to discuss the matter or participate in a documentary, she has chosen to say no.
I’ve shared everything I could about this sad event, as I don’t wish for any misunderstandings to arise, and I must prioritize my emotional well-being. This was our final communication.

I genuinely wished she had found herself in a beautiful, tranquil place – perhaps a spa, sanctuary, or rehabilitation center. Unbeknownst to me, I was unaware of the depths of her hardships and the challenges that lay ahead for her.
Her latest message to me was filled with heart symbols. It makes me hopeful that wherever she might be now, she’s in a tranquil, beautiful place – just as I had wished for her.
Laura experienced harmful comments directed at her when she shared pictures of her baby on the ITV2 panel show, Celebrity Juice, as she resumed her work there.
In response, she penned down: ‘Stand together with other women. It doesn’t diminish you; instead, it strengthens you. Here’s an idea.’
Previously, I expressed my deep honor and gratitude for stepping into the role of Love Island host, succeeding my dear friend who passed away. I fervently hoped that by hosting this show, I could create a heartfelt and fitting tribute to my cherished companion.
On the contrary, it seems that Caroline’s mother, Christine, perceives the situation quite differently. In an interview conducted in 2021, she expressed criticism towards friends whom she considered insincere during their time of mourning.
She seemed to make a subtle criticism towards Laura for accepting the Love Island hosting job, addressing her as ‘the one who has replaced her’.
Additionally, Christine claimed that ITV executives showed disregard towards Caroline by removing her as the host of Love Island following her arrest over charges of assaulting her partner Lewis.
As a lifestyle enthusiast, I found myself drawn to Love Island due to Carrie’s presence within its virtual halls. However, it’s now rather disconcerting when the commercial break rolls around and the new contestant, adorning an outfit remarkably similar to hers, strikes a pose eerily reminiscent of hers.
‘I think ITV2 could have done it a little differently. They could have done it out of respect.’
I couldn’t help but jump into the fray when people boasted about their supposed closeness to Caroline, mourning her death publicly. However, as a dedicated fan, I feel compelled to set the record straight: the real A-list friends of my beloved star in the entertainment world were none other than Natalie Pinkham and Dawn O’Porter.
She mentioned, ‘It’s tough. This week, I saw someone on TV referring to her as a friend, and that comment stung quite a bit.’
Ever since my departure from Love Island three years back, I’ve chosen to redefine my professional journey, focusing on acting and delving into more thought-provoking subjects. Together with my partner Iain, I host the BBC Sounds podcast Murder They Wrote – a captivating exploration of intriguing crime stories that has become our shared passion project.
In 2020, the couple got married in a private ceremony held in Dublin. A year later, in 2021, they were blessed with a child whom they are both proud parents of.
In addition, she had previously shared hosting duties for the I’m A Celebrity spin-off titled Get Me Out Of Here Now! and served as the main host for the brief-lived ITV2 series Survival of the Fittest in 2018.
After departing from Love Island, Laura has since made appearances in the low-key production 2:22 A Ghost Story, followed by a performance in Apex Predator at London’s Hampstead Theatre next month.
Come June, I can hardly contain my excitement as I’m set to grace the stage in a captivating theater rendition of “The Girl On The Train,” an adaptation from the 2015 blockbuster novel that swept the nation!
