Ever since Laura Whitmore announced she will not be presenting the next season of Love Island, fans have been wondering who will take the job.

Now, bookies are predicting which celebrities are in the running for the role, and some of these might surprise you.

Laura announced on Monday (22 August) evening that she would be stepping down as host due to certain elements such as the flying back and forth to South Africa.

"Some news! I won’t be hosting the next series of Love island. There are certain elements of the show I’ve found very difficult that cannot be changed some due to the format, including the flying back and forth to South Africa along with my new conflicting projects," Laura wrote.

"I wish it was still possible but know you’ll be in safe hands. I was only planning to fill in for Caroline for a series and it turned into 3 series. I hope I did you proud Caroline."

While no-one knows who will be replacing Laura, MyBettingSites has revealed the favourite contenders, with Emily Atack and Maura Higgins joint favourites, with odds of 5/1.
