Looks like he’s 100% her type on paper.

Laura Whitmore has confirmed she is dating Love Island voiceover man Iain Stirling.

The pair had been romantically linked last month while the popular ITV2 series was on the air – but neither had spoken about the relationship until now.

She told The Sun:

“Yeah he’s my boyfriend. He’s lovely.

“I’ve got him as my screensaver. I’ve known him for ages.”

And even though the Strictly Come Dancing contestant admitted she never watched Love Island, she didn’t get the comedian to give her any spoilers.

She added:

“I had never watched Love Island before but I don’t need him to give me spoilers because everyone from I’m A Celebrity works on it anyway.”

But it looks like the couple will be spending a few months apart, as the Wicklow native revealed she enrolled in a course at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art.

She will then be heading to the US in September for future work opportunities – while Iain will be performing his comedy show at the Edinburgh Fringe festival during the month of August.

Laura said:

“I’ve gone back to school. I’m doing a course at RADA.

“I’ll be there for five weeks, then I’m off to New York in September and LA in October. I love acting.

“I’ve caught the bug but I’ve got so many lines to learn.”
