Laura Whitmore’s presenting skills didn’t go down too well with Love Island viewers as she returned to front the ITV2 dating show during its debut episode.
The Irish starlet enraged viewers who said they were “sick” of her presenting the show during the opening show of the latest series.
Laura, 37, returned to her role as matchmaker as the singletons of 2022 including Dami Hope, Gemma Owen, and Luca Bish hoped to find their ultimate match.
Each time Laura revealed who had been paired up, the presenter and model explained that it was the public who made the decisions for them.

“So you can see we’ve two couples already, Gemma and Liam and Amber and Dami.”
She later went on to tell real estate agent Andrew: “We’ve given the decision of who you couple up with the public.”

But viewers took to Twitter to express their viewers as they called for ITV to axe a specific part of Laura’s presenting in the villa.
“Absolutely sick of Laura repeating herself explaining the ‘twist’. Couldn’t they just send everyone an email #LoveIsland,” said one.
While a second added: “Nothing more fun that Laura repeating that the public decided the pairings five bloody times. It’s all lacking in any energy?! #LoveIsland.”
