LOVE Island host Laura Whitmore has blasted fans who call her ‘boring and overpaid’ ahead of the new series.
The ITV2 reality show returns tomorrow evening with Laura, 37, once again introducing the new batch of Islanders to viewers.
However, before the first Islander even steps foot into the new Love Island villa, Laura has addressed previous comments about her part in the show via TikTok.
At the start of the minute-long clip, she said: “Shall we get this out of the way, then we can enjoy the juicy bits! See ya Monday.”

“I have it in my contract to offset carbon emissions.”
Laura then moved on to what she is paid for hosting Love Island, posting the critique: “Laura has the easiest job on the telly! She gets paid £50k a minute. It’s an outrage!”
She replied by stating how her husband – Iain Stirling – doesn’t receive the same comments for his role as voiceover on the show.

“I b****y wish I earned what was written in the press! I only get paid days I work.”
Laura then tackled the trolls calling her “boring” or “dull”, after sharing the comment: “She’s so boring. Why doesn’t she ask more? What’s with all the pauses!?”
She clapped back: “Drama baby! if I was on hosting duties I would be having full on banter.
