Laura Whitmore has slammed Love Island fans who branded her dull and overpaid, while also accusing her of wrecking the environment.
The 37-year-old presenter has been hosting the show since 2020, and decided to confront fans about their comments ahead of the new season of the ITV2 dating show airing tomorrow.
