Laura Whitmore talks Caroline Flack
It was announced last month that Laura Whitmore will take over from Caroline Flack as host of Love Island's winter series.
The news came shortly after Caroline was arrested and charged with assault on her boyfriend.
In a new interview with MailOnline this week, Laura insists Caroline has been, 'incredibly supportive.'
The Irish presenter says Caroline has shown no contempt towards her.
'She's been incredibly gracious and supportive of me taking on the role for the winter series.'
'She’s a brilliant host and I just hope that I can give the role the justice it deserves while she is taking some time off.'
It's believed Caroline will return for the summer series but ITV have yet to confirm this.
Laura admits the idea of hosting the summer series as well is something she hasn't, 'thought about it in a wider context.'

The radio DJ says she had a conversation with her boyfriend and show voice over Ian Stirling before accepting the position.
'When I initially got the call, I had a conversation with Iain. It’s his show.'
'I said, "How would you feel about it?" We both agreed straight away.'
