Laura Whitmore returns to Cape Town for Love Island hosting duties

Are you watching the show this year?

It’s all go for the Whitmore.

After a week in the UK hosting Aftersun – the Love Island extra show, the star has touched back down in Cape Town for what we expect will be a shock arrival into the villa.

It’s been awhile since Laura has chatted to the Islanders in the villa and so, we can only expect that some drama is on the horizon.

Sharing a snap tanning herself, the 34-year-old posed for a selfie on a beach lounger last night after she arrived in South Africa.

Laura was also reunited with her boyfriend and legendary Love Island VO, Iain Stirling.

The pair looked smitten as they went out for dinner after a week apart, enjoying some downtime together before it was back to business.

Before Caroline Flack stepped down from her Love Island role, she admitted that travelling between the UK and Cape Town for work would be hard.

Speaking to the Metro UK, the 40-year-old didn’t seem very enthusiastic about taking back up the presenting gig.

“It’s a 13 hour flight [to South Africa]. I’ve got to go back and forth the whole time to do Aftersun over here. It’s ‘a long old flight just to do that walking.”

However, Laura seems to still be beaming as we almost reach the show’s two week mark.

Love Island returns to Virgin Media Two tonight at 9pm.
