LOVE Island host Laura Whitmore has defended flying back and forth to South Africa for filming after being trolled on Twitter.
The 34-year-old has carried out the 12,000 mile round trip to Cape Town on a couple of occasions already this season.
As well as her presenting duties on the ITV2 show, Laura is also hosting spin-off show Aftersun every Monday in London, as well as her BBC Radio 5 Live show every Sunday morning.
Laura took to Twitter earlier today to share a selfie wearing headphones and wrote: “Morning London! Just landed and back on air @bbc5live at 10am.”
But the star soon came under fire from a troll who tweeted: “@bbc5live why is Laura Whitmore flying from South Africa every weekend to do her Sunday morning radio show then back to SA to present Love Island?
“Surely there are studios she could broadcast from in SA? #ClimateCrisis.”
However Laura quickly hit back, telling the troll: “Love Island aftersun is filmed in London – as all the guests are based in the UK.
“I’m only in cape town for the finale, public voting etc. I’m an advocate of offsetting carbon footprint you’ll notice on my Twitter. Thanks x.”
Earlier this week, Laura was seen reuniting with boyfriend Iain Stirling – who narrates Love Island – at the airport.
The couple cuddled and kissed after Laura made it through arrivals, before she shared a sexy snap by the pool in a yellow swimsuit.
The presenter looked incredible in the Instagram snap, which she captioned with a sun emoji.
Laura’s celebrity pals were quick to comment on the online post with reality star Vicky Pattison writing: “Beaut”.
Kate Thornton said: “Hot stuff! X” while former GBBO winner Candice Brown added: “Gorgeous girl”.
Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2.
