Laura Whitmore gave a sweet nod to the late Caroline Flack as she announced her departure from Love Island on Monday (22 August) evening.

Laura, 37, took to social media to tell followers that she would not be hosting the next season of the show, which is set to take place in South Africa in January 2023.

Laura first took on the role of host as a temporary position for the first ever season of the winter version of Love Island in January 2020, after usual presenter Caroline Flack had been facing legal issues.

Sadly, while the series was still ongoing, Caroline died by suicide in February 2020.

Explaining that she hoped she had 'done Caroline proud', Laura wrote: "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. 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."

Ever since Laura announced the news, fans of the show have been wondering who will take over in January.
