Laura Whitmore in 'unusual' career move as she announces harrowing new TV role

Former Love Island host Laura Whitmore will tackle the dark subjects of rough sex, cyber-stalkers and incels as she embarks on a new career as a TV journalist. Having previously overseen buff blokes in trunks chatting up bikini-clad women in the Majorcan villa, Laura will address issues of toxic masculinity.

The 38-year-old – married to the voice of Love Island, Iain Stirling, with whom she has a young daughter – studied journalism in her home city of Dublin and she was inspired to make the programmes by some of her own worrying encounters with men. She said: “When it comes to toxic masculinity, it’s something that infiltrates all our lives, I know it has for me, it’s something that infiltrates all our lives, I know it has for me.

The three-part series, which launches today on ITVX, sees the presenter travelling within the UK, Europe and the US. She looks into the rise of men using “rough sex” as an excuse to get away with murder. And an episode on incels, or involuntary celibates, uncovers a misogynistic online world where alienated males share their anti-female mindsets.
