Laura Whitmore has landed a huge new role, after wrapping the latest season of Love Island.
The TV presenter, who has hosted the ITV2 dating show since 2020, is set to make her West End debut in a play next month.
Sharing the news on Instagram, the Bray native wrote: “News!!! I’m joining the cast of 2:22 A Ghost Story from September 6th!”

“Come see me on stage making my West End debut in this critically-acclaimed psychological thriller. For a limited run only, Book now!” she added.
The news comes after Laura made more room in her schedule by quitting her BBC Radio 5 show last month.
At the time, Heidi Dawson – controller of BBC Radio 5 Live – told MailOnline: “Laura has made the difficult decision to leave after a brilliant four years.”
“We’d like to thank her for the energy, insight and humour she has brought to this programme and look forward to working with her again in the near future.”
Just a few days prior, Laura revealed she was celebrating some “very exciting news” with her husband Iain Stirling.
The Irish presenter took to Instagram to share snaps of her date night with Iain in Mallorca, and wrote: “Little celebration last night 🥂 . I’m a huge believer in timing, and yesterday everything just clicked into place and I got some very exciting news.”
“Sometimes life moves so fast you forget to be still and just enjoy the moment. Going to be a busy year so it’s important to take a breath. Also massive red moon last night was pretty spectacular! #bookedandblessed.”

Laura and Iain secretly tied the knot at Dublin’s City Hall on November 11, 2020, and welcomed their first child last March – a daughter named Stevie Ré.
The couple started dating back in 2016, but didn’t go public with their romance until the following year.
