Read our privacy policy Laura Whitmore has departed her BBC Radio 5 Live show amid the success of Love Island’s most recent series. However, with the eighth series of Love Island coming to an end in August, it was announced that Whitmore would not be returning to the airwaves. “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.” Meanwhile, The Sun reports that Whitmore is leaving in order to make the most of the opportunities offered to her thanks to Love Island. “So something had to go, and it’s sad for listeners that this is what’s been jettisoned as she moves onwards and upwards.” Whitmore was brought in to present Love Island for the January 2020 series while Caroline Flack was arrested for assaulting her partner.
